The Power of Movies: How Screen and Mind Interact

The Power of Movies: How Screen and Mind Interact

How is watching a movie similar to dreaming? What goes on in our minds when we become absorbed in a movie? How does looking â€œintoâ€ a movie screen allow us to experience the thoughts and feelings of a movieâ€™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 McGinnâ€“â€œan ingenious philosopher who thinks like a laser and writes like a dream,â€ according to Steven Pinkerâ€“enhances our understanding of both movies and ourselves in this book of rare and refreshing insight.
