Let's make a symbolic model to understand the subject as follows:
- The importance of the symbolic models (thinking e.g.) increases
- A big fraction of the population has difficulties to evolve based on
symbolic models (fundamentalism)
- Fundamentalism means to return to image models
- This return is possible only partially.
Because returning to image models affects an important fraction of the
population, why is it not seen in painting and sculpture? The explanation is
that the brain has lost a lot of its capacity to make and operate pure image
models. The brain returns to image models, but it stops at the level of
concept models.
Cinematography is one of the responses suitable to this situation. Thus, there
are cartoons, based on concept image models. They are strongly attached to
symbolic models. There are cartoons, in which symbolic models are more
important than the concept image models.
Today's successful movies are image models, which try to develop and extend
some of the incipient image models preexisting in the mind of the viewer.
We remind here that people have the tendency to expand their structure of
models outside their mind. When the models can't be expanded to the external
reality, there is the tendency to expand these models into a virtual reality.
This is speculated by cinematography, depending on the profile of image models
in different cultural zones.
From this point of view, movies can be very dangerous. They make these
developments based on what people would like to happen and on the other hand,
they favorize the fundamental tendencies of various social groups.
However, as they are attached to symbolic models, some movies are used to
develop symbolic models and fight fundamentalist tendencies and as such, have
a positive impact on society.
A huge danger associated to art movies is blocking the capacity of people to
think independently (tendency towards induced schizophrenia XS1B). Each script
is a long-range symbolic model; thus, the movie as a whole is logical. This
long-range symbolic model is translated or associated to a long-range image
model. If the translation is correct, the image model will be harmonic as
well. Thus, an art movie is a logical and harmonical long-range image model.
The fundamental problem is that it is not enough for a model to be logical and
harmonical in order for it to have a good connection with the external
reality.
There are movies that try to reconstruct an external reality that no longer
exists, an 'external reality' which will never exist, or anything else in
between these very broad limits. The only condition is that the model is
harmonic and logical. We cannot see the degree of connection with external
reality from within the model. This is where the danger originates.
Independent thinking will be blocked by the large quantity of information
structured harmonically and logically.
Many art films contribute largely to the aggravation of the level of induced
schizophrenia (XS1B). At the same time, there are many movies which contribute
to the construction of long-range models that stabilize society.
