cinema of attraction

The moving image is great entertainment for sure. 'magic' is a term I often find to be associated with it, which is really interesting. Remember the feelies in Brave New World? There is an emotional connection to film that is not as widely prevalent in other forms of art, almost everyone has cried watching a movie, but I don't think a lot of people have cried during an encounter with a painting or sculpture. ( I have, but I'm probably weird.)
