Willing Suspension of Disbelief

Term used to describe the phenomenon while watching a movie that the audience is willing to accept the movie as reality and believe the story for that time bringing the audience more fully into the story. Without a willing suspension of disbelief, the audience does not enjoy a movie to its fullest potential because it is viewed as a fiction or falsity in which case the audience does not relate to the movie and its characters developing emotions and feelings about it. The audience must be able to accept the film as plausible and possible – they must stop disbelieving. This can be aided by surround sound technology and large screen video displays that help to further draw the audience into the movie and become a part of it.
