No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Having fun at a movie, is just exercising a humorous aspect of our intelligence and consciousness, no different from being amused by a joke.
It's obviously not a delusion if you know it's fantasy, it's only a delusion if it's fictional, but you strongly believe it to be true. Like believing there is life after death.
Fantasy is a part of our imagination, that enable us to speculate on things that may happen in the future, and prepare for them.
We can do that for fun, and speculate on things we very well know will not likely happen. That can be for amusement / entertainment.
Delusion is to believe things that are very unlikely to have either already happened or to happen in the future, but believe them despite being contrary to logic and the evidence. Like for instance religions or believing Santa Clause is real.
If a delusion is fixed, and no degree of evidence it is a delusion will persuade the person. It can become much like a psychosis:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis
Therefore strongly held beliefs in things that aren't true, like for instance conspiracy theories or religion can reasonably be considered a degree of mental illness. Which most today will not be willing to acknowledge, but I think maybe in 50 years will become more accepted.
Belief in God is a delusion, a strong belief in God can be borderline psychosis.
Having fun at a movie, is just using our imagination for fun and entertainment, instead of the real life problem solving that is probably the evolutionary main reason we have it. Having fun using these skills, helps train them.
So this is perfectly healthy and normal, and has nothing to do with delusions. The story may be fantasy, but the fun is real.
