Suspension of Disbelief (part 1)


If you're not familiar with the expression, “suspension of disbelief” refers to a willing acceptance of something fictional for the sake of appreciating and immersing oneself in it. We do it all the time when we watch movies or TV dramas, and the more we are able to let ourselves go and become immersed in the fictional work, the more it tends to impact us. Considering how much of a stretch some genres are from reality, it is impressive that there are so many fans of fantasy and science fiction! This only goes to show that we are imaginative people, as proven by the countless novels, films, and TV dramas that are produced to entertain us. Do you find it easy to suspend disbelief for the sake of enjoying science fiction? Or are there certain things that can completely ruin it for you?
