But in film you always watch situations or stories that you really have no relation to. A lot of times just because there’s no personal connection doesn’t mean you can’t connect with the film or the characters in the film.
Meaning of the quote
When you watch a movie, the situations and stories may not be something you have experienced in real life. However, that doesn't mean you can't still connect with the characters or the events happening in the film. Even if you don't have a personal connection to the story, you can still find ways to relate to the characters and what they are going through. The emotions, the challenges, and the experiences they have can still feel meaningful and relatable, even if they are very different from your own life.
