How movies make us empathise with strangers (Wired UK)

I thought this was an interesting article...it explains about natalie portmans black swan that when people watch her reach a breaking point they actually mirror the craziness in their own mind much as if they were experiencing schizophrenia. I just wanted to post this because I know a few of you guys make videos and to me the fact that people can so strongly empathize with a movie character suggests that those videos are in fact very important to allowing people to understand us better....
