- Title
Vivid Abstractions: On the Role of Emotion Metaphors in Film Viewers' Search for Deeper Insight and Meaning.
- Authors
BARTSCH, ANNE
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the purpose of emotions in the social-moral reflection of film viewers. It explores the aesthetic devices that contribute to viewer appreciation including scenes of empathy and musical score. It tackles how metaphorical images, which represent emotion and reflect emotional concepts, were used in the aesthetics of the films "Titanic" and "The Birds." It says that film changes allow movies to excel emotional representations and stimulate abstract social-moral reasoning.
