“The capacity for loving strangers, whether one thinks of them as fictional beings or stars one will never meet, is a profound reflection on the new consciousness whereby every individual leads his or life while aware of all the billions of other people on Earth. Perhaps it is a fantasy or a fallacy that we can feel for so many strangers. Perhaps it is a mask for selfishness. But no matter the modern stress on special effects, there isn't a sight in movies as momentous as shots of a face as its mind is being changed. And only movies have allowed that.” PeopleThinkingFeelsMindMatterEarthFilmFacesIndividualStarsConsciousnessFantasyModernSpecialEffectsChangedReflectionShotsCapacityHollywoodSightStressProfoundStrangerBillionsSelfishnessMaskFallacySpecial Effects Author:Edward Jay Epstein
