Cinema and Symbols.
Levine, Charles I.
The real impact of cinema consists in its ability to translate symbols, the mind's form of language, into dynamic moving images. Man's visual orientation produces both his positive reaction to motion--a key element in cinema--and his perceptions of coded, visual information--symbols. The complex relationship between symbols and rhythmic motion which can be effected in cinema are apparent in "Horseopera," a collage film using footage from old western films. This collage combines the two separate areas of imprinted information disseminated among humanity, the symbol information, and the rhythmic sense which are inherent within mankind. (JM)
