A huge danger associated to art movies is blocking the capacity of people to
think independently (tendency towards induced schizophrenia XS1B). Each script
is a long-range symbolic model; thus, the movie as a whole is logical. This
long-range symbolic model is translated or associated to a long-range image
model. If the translation is correct, the image model will be harmonic as
well. Thus, an art movie is a logical and harmonical long-range image model.
The fundamental problem is that it is not enough for a model to be logical and
harmonical in order for it to have a good connection with the external
reality.
There are movies that try to reconstruct an external reality that no longer
exists, an 'external reality' which will never exist, or anything else in
between these very broad limits. The only condition is that the model is
harmonic and logical. We cannot see the degree of connection with external
reality from within the model. This is where the danger originates.
Independent thinking will be blocked by the large quantity of information
structured harmonically and logically.
Many art films contribute largely to the aggravation of the level of induced
schizophrenia (XS1B). At the same time, there are many movies which contribute
to the construction of long-range models that stabilize society.
ETA 9: The fundamentalisms of the world we live in
The main fundamentalism is the return to image models, and thus, the refusal
of symbolic models. Symbolic models are based on extremely complex functions,
which are not easily maintained operational. For a 'regular' brain, the energy
consumption is higher for symbolic models than for image models. However,
there is a fraction of the population of developed countries working more
easily with symbolic models than with image models.
Example: There was a time in the evolution of the brain, when extremely
complex image models were built and translated to a symbolic form. It was the
time of the great novels (Balzac, Dostoievski etc.). Reading such works was a
sign of cultural superiority. These books are not read nowadays. The main
reason is the evolution towards symbolic models. The effort of the brain to
understand and integrate the use of remote controls, cellphones or text
editors is perfectly comparable as intellectual effort with the understanding
of the great works of universal literature.
There are too many who have difficulties to operate symbolic models. There is
a fraction of the population who refuses symbolic models; this fraction seems
to be increasing.
