The best reality reflecting ART

Since long time ago, people have been interested in creating plays, dramas, and movies. One interesting thing about these things is that they always seem to reflect the reality in some sort of way. For example, Romeo and Juliet is a play about strong love between two people, which is commonly seen in reality. Or the movie Matrix reflects on the contrast between good and evil, development of AI, and the ideas people have about reality, in the real world.
Just like an artwork, plays, dramas, and movies communicate, and it is done by asking questions to the audience, such as ' what if the world you are in is not the real world?' By asking these questions, plays, dramas, and movies, help the audience think deeply about the reality and really try to understand the reality more. However, we do have to realized that plays, movies, and dramas sometimes focus on one side of the reality so much that it starts to skew the reality and create a caricature of reality. This caricature does so well in skewing the reality without making people notice, that they it starts to have more and more influence on the person. So it  is always good to watch plays, dramas, and movies, but we also do need to be careful. Make sure that we are not accepting what is wrong or what we shouldn't accept and always watch out for the influence a single movie can have in our future.
