Description
The invention of moving pictures has been one of the most powerful shapers of the unique consciousness of the modern age. This text attempts to explain the peculiar (and now universal) state of thought and feeling that has resulted. It examines what the viewer absorbs from the endlessly multiplying scenes of old silent films, classic movies with their "immortal" stars and such mutating genres as German westerns, Italian spy movies and Japanese vampire movies.
