Sometimes it is a result of the location I'm at. I do a lot of work at different sites around the world. Going to a movie is an easy way to relax that one day off after 6/10s or worse.
One of my best memories was a sight in Gujarat, India. I was staying at this self sustaining industrial community that was built
by the company. Way out in the middle of no-where and that was how they made it tolerable for their workforce. Full indoor athletic facility (solid ass kickers in ping-pong)
, outdoor track, huge outdoor stadium. I liver there for almost three months. Saw a lot of fun movies even though I didn't understand a lick of the dialogue.
I once asked one of the local engineers I was working along side with why most of the Indian movies were musicals with tons of dancing. He told me quite honestly that the average Indian's life is so dreadful that they craved anything that would lighten their spirits. He also told me the last director that tried to produce a drama in India with no singing and dancing was actually receiving death threats so he cancelled the production.
