It's a little different if you watch a tragedy though. You sympathize but you don't pretend you're them.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe not actively imagining that you are them, but there's an element of identification or empathy there. At least for me when I watch things! Maybe that experience is not universal though.

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds more like sympathy than empathy? Lots of people feel sad when they watch a sad movie.

Fewer people watch a sad movie in order to make themselves feel sad.

I don't think many people at all save the memory of the sad movie so they can pretend to be the heartbroken character in it later in order to feel the emotional pain that their ordinary lives are too normal and happy for...

I think that people do watch sad movies in order to make themselves feel sad, and I think that while they don't do the latter thing, it's a difference of degree more than anything else. But I think this is the point where we just disagree and are unlikely to convince each other, or really do anything except post "THIS IS WHAT I THINK" at each other. So it's all good. Also I find something about that description rather poignant. I don't know. It's well-put and an interesting phenomenon to think about.
