Dream And Film Analysis

What we experience at the in a cinema while watching a is of three-dimensional space; however, we know for a fact that it is two dimensional. It is said shadows are made of light (sun), they are ethereal because they can come and go they become sheer pigments of our dream and imagination. While objects that we see are perfect exact 100 percent replica of a real person; hence why McGinn said that images of dematerialized body in other words has no physicality. In other words, McGinn is saying you see his body, but you are not really seeing his body; they are real, but not real at the same time. Unlike dream, films can make a body “perfect” due to the fact that it cannot decompose, damage, etc. because it is in the screen images which makes it …show more content…
All films images are all “intentional;” the key element is called “intentionality” (it does not intentional in that sense like photography are, but it means “about something”). The mental image you have of an object or a subject in a reality will be different to dreaming about it, because in the dream it will be “about something.” All the objects in the films are intentional in the sense that it is meaningful because it is about something or it is always about something. Take for example the scene in the movie: Singin’ in the Rain (1952) Kelly was twirling the umbrella or when he climbed on the lamp post in while it was raining. The scene can be interpreted as an epiphany of being happy, where the umbrella represents freewill and the climbing on the lamp post on the street, could be seen as the mental lightbulb that just went off in his head that he is in love and have no care about the things outside his world at that …show more content…

Another one is the spatio-temporal discontinuity, both dream and film are similar in the sense that one can move from a scene or surrounding to another within minutes or second and it will still make sense. Whereas, it the real world things do not happen like that, not only do we not have magic to make that happen, but it will not make any sense to us whatsoever, so, dream are in space and in time because it is “discontinuously.” You can assume the next event of what to happen in a movie and dream because it is like foreseeing their future or the events; you know their mind without them saying it. An example of this is when Hagen’s character thought that she would get away with her unreasonable demands to have Reynolds’ character sings in the background while pretending to be her. It is easy to guess or anticipate what is about to happen when she took on the stage microphone, and when the three men sarcastically and subtly agreed to let her onto to the stage by herself. Whereas, in the real life it is not the
