Document Summary
Helped open door for people to see film as a work of art. Film involves skill of taking a novel (alternate reality) and being able to reproduce that world in a way we can all interact with. Draws on what marx says and adorno"s statement about things coming into the market for profit and to benefit those in power. Before it was feasible, people wanted/desired for film to be in colour, people to talk to create the alternate version of reality that they can control and this is driven by the myth (ambition fueled by desire) Creation of film can"t be explained without talking about the desire people have for its existence. Article 2: the ontology of the photographic image. Thinks photography and filmmaking are a different kind of art. Photography liberates painting, the original sin of painting. Painting is expected to reproduce reality, but photography does it better. Painting transitions into more abstract to not compete with photography.
