I have to agree with Madeline M. that the article was a bit difficult to get through. The writing was very flowery so it was a challenge to get to the main points. For example, this:
"And there (right there) we have the camera eye, (the imitation, the original liar); yet lyre sings to the mind so immediately (the exalted selectivity one wants to forget that its strings can so easily make puppetry of human motivation (for form as finality) dependent upon attenuation, what it's turned to (ultimately death) or turned from (birth) or the way to get out of it (transformation)."
I did appreciate the discussion about the editing process of films and how the end result ultimately bears little resemblance to the set and subject being filmed. It's something I noticed when I got my first camera which, granted, had a very basic video option. But I could tell from the first video I shot that the information being recorded wasn't at all like what I was seeing in person, nor what I had seen on television. The movements were captured very differently. It's an artistic process and a heavily manipulated one at that, given the current available technology.
