How is watching a movie similar to dreaming? What goes on in our minds when we become absorbed in a movie? How does looking "into” a movie screen allow us to experience the thoughts and feelings of a movie's characters? These and related questions are at the heart of The Power of Movies, a thoughtful, invigorating, and remarkably accessible book about a phenomenon seemingly beyond reach of our understanding. Colin McGinn-"an ingenious philosopher who thinks like a laser and writes like a dream,” according to Steven Pinker-enhances our understanding of both movies and ourselves in this book of rare and refreshing insight.
I have a question about the book:
'The Power of Movies - McGinn, Colin'.
