One interesting thing of note is that during the Great Depression of the 30s, many people turned to the movies to find escape from the harsh realities of the socio-economic decline taking place all about. It's odd how today, many of those escapist films from the 30s are still enjoyable viewing even now, some 90 years later, and for largely the same reason: they are a nice little magic carpet ride to another time, place and world that's not THIS world we're living in now. Great way to get away from it all, at least for a little while.
A lot of those people back then were aware that they were providing escapist entertainment for audiences during a stressful time. I wonder if any of them suspected that audiences would still be enjoying their work for escapism nearly a century later.
