JIM MORRISON DIED IN 1971 AND HIS WORDS HOLD TRUTH FOR TODAY AS THE FILM-MAKERS MAKE WITH THE PROPAGANDA....................
Cinema has evolved in two paths: One is spectacle... its goal is the creation of a total substitute sensory world. The other is peep show, which claims for its realm both the erotic and the untampered observance of real life, and imitates the keyhole or voyeur's window, without need of colour, noise, grandeur.
Cinema derives not from painting, literature, sculpture, theatre, but from ancient popular wizardry. It is the contemporary manifestation of an evolving history of shadows.....Its lineage is entwined from the earliest beginning with priests and sorcery, a summoning of phantoms.
It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It ensures his existence.
Films are collections of dead pictures which are given artificial insemination.
Films' spectators are quiet vampires.
Cinema is the most totalitarian of the arts. All energy and sensation is sucked up into the skaull, a cerebral erection, skull bloated with blood. Caligula wished a singleneck for all his subjects that he could behead a kingdom with one blow. The body exists for the sake of the eyes; it becomes a dry stalk to support these two soft insatiable jewels.
Film confers a kind of spurious eternity.
