The costumes in a film might not seem all that important, but it is one of the many things that make up a great film. If you took away the reality, authenticity and durability of the costumes, then it starts to take away the believability of the entire film as a whole.
In the book, "Magic Garment" by Rebecca Cunningham, it states that "A costume is a "magic" garment--a garment that enables the actor to become, for a time, someone else."
The costume that the actor wears also plays a part in the actor's ability to pretend. They can also help to tell the audience the time period that the film is going to be set in and also play a role in defining the character and even show the development of the character. Costumes also establish rank or social status; this helps so that things don't necessarily have to be spoken outloud to tell the audience what is going on.
