I think the idea of escapism has been grossly abused. I think it died long time ago together with that image of a poor NYC seamstress who cries in the movie theater over some sad ending, before returning to her tiny room with two pair of stockings - one on her, one drying on the clothline. O'Henry... really... doesn't really exist in modern life. People just go for fun and entertainment.
Follow Ups:
Perhaps a curious question, but from time to time I watch the WWE, although not much now that the characters seem so half hearted, but that's another story...
Anyway one night, Vince McMann, the chairman and founder, I think, of the company was giving one of his "wind up the audience" speeches and he came out with something along the lines of "people like me are rich because we provide people like you with entertainment to brighten up your boring dull lives with your boring dull jobs".
Just as Caesar could have done at The Coliseum perhaps.
