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.From the Trade Paperback edition.Other products from Rakuten Kobo Canada
