One thing not explicitly discussed is the intrinsic qualities to a "theater" experience that involve more than the images, but instead teh audience interaction with the work & one another.
To some degree this is lost when watching movies at home, but in my opinion the modern movie audiences (either with constant shushing or those that do speak making idiotic comments) so not get the "theater" experience of 20 or especially 50-80 years ago anyway.
So, in fact, watching a movie in your living room with friends may be more "cinematic" in the old-timer movie sense than sitting in the Lowes.On another note, he says
"And except to say, too, because it says so much about the evolution of movies, that ever since the advent of video there have been no "movements," no schools, no groups,however many random good movies there might have been, to compete for attention against the likes of German Expressionism or Italian Neo-Realism or the French New Wave. "I do not completely agree with this. The reason for the lack of movement may jsut be in this day & age the medium and our society are evolving so quickly that "movements" are now replaced with "moments". They seem less definable because they are more ephemeral.
Further, I would hope his arguments are geared specifically to the Art House crowd, because most normal people I know under 40 have never heard of Neo-REalism or watched Godard, but they know exactly who Adam Sandler is. In my mind the French New Wave has failed to produce a picture that competes with "HAppy Gilmore" in terms of public recognition or admiration.dg
