Why do cliches seem real?

Media entertainment has always been a very strong medium of expression, especially of the owrld around us. There is a deeper meaning - a message hidden - a single truth in the woven tapestry that we routinely try to unravel while taking it all in. However, do we also go back to these messages and read our own lives in them - see the endings before our own stories reach their time?
Is it in the cliches that we try to find solutions that do not exist?
The stories are our own - the destinies as well :P The cliches are only clouds of judgement - there to check resolve - and they are driven into the social psyche by pure repetition! But that does not change them from alternate reality for pure story telling to something society uses as a crutch to fall back on or a justification - an excuse to explain what they otherwise could not. Or is it more than that- the germ of an idea rather than its recourse!
But then- not everything needs rationalization..........
