One thing I like most about movies is that they are relatable. It may not be true for one person, but there will always be someone who will be able to relate to it. There is nothing really magic about it, in fact it is just normal. Stories from the movies we see are basically a woven fabric of our own experience as a human being.

On the other hand, when a person failed on something, everything becomes awful, and depending on the weight of the situation, others are destroyed by depression and the severance of failure. That is the same with losing the game in Jumanji where the player is then stuck in the place of the game until someone else finish the game
