But Watts makes a decision that he hopes w ill mak e people w ant to appreciate their real liv es, instead of spending all their free time escaping reality in Oasis, w hich is a real-life message that Spielberg is trying to deliver to the audience. 1.Which movie mentioned in the passage is not a science fiction?
