There's definitely something cool about seeing a blockbuster movie with special effects, or an artistic film that makes deep points while showcasing actors at peak talent.

However, humans had oral tradition and just like people in robes acting for a long time. Our brains are probably better off with some storytelling that requires a little internal imagination and thought.

I guess what I'm getting at is, on my ideal commune the arts would be hobbies for everyone to enjoy and play a part in as they wish, not a "job" that constitutes pulling one's fair share.
