Cinema is claustrophobic and so what ?
I heard a person saying "He doesn't watch films, he only read book because books gives him more imaginative freedom" and he tried comparing literature to cinema, and that is the moment I realize that dumb people exist in this world and that statement is rather absurd. It should not exist at all.
It's like comparing a potato into a full blown $1000 smartphone. I'm not talking about filmmakers or authors perspective here, I'm talking about Readers and Audience. Cinema are not mean't to give a freedom of imagination to an audience, Cinema wanted to be claustrophobic.It's a moving picture you see ? Books and Literature literally wanted you to imagine a particular scene, or a character via their description because they are written in a text,. Films slaps you in the face with a scenes, or how this certain character will look like, its just a matter of anticipation of what will comes next. That;s why books are amazing and also that's why Cinema is fantastic, they are fairly different when it comes on approaching they respective people. That's not how cinema works my friend. I love reading, its one of they way I learn things, but it also taught me how different it is to a movie. I thought of cinema, when you first watch a film , its like (what they always say) putting you into a very tiny dark room and locking you up there and die eventually until the credits roll up. Cinema want's to torture you, it doesn't want you to give freedom as an audience, it wants to destroy you. When you get inside that dark room and once that big screen light up, It's either you died not knowing that cinema wants to kill you and you're false argument will turn into preposterous thoughts , or die accepting the truth that cinema is indeed a murderer and you're right about it.
