This book demonstrates how social distress or anxiety is reflected,
modified, and evolves through the medium of the motion picture.
Tracing cinema from its earliest forms, the authors show how film
is a perfect medium for generating and projecting dreams,
fantasies, and nightmares, on the individual as well as the
societal level. Arising at the same time as Freud's influential
ideas, cinema has been intertwined with the wishes and fears of the
greater culture and has served as a means of experiencing those
feelings in a communal and taming environment. From Munsterberg's
original pronouncements in the early 20th century about the
psychology of cinema, through the pioneering films of Melies, the
works of the German expressionists, to James Bond and today's
superheroes this book weaves a narrative highlighting the
importance of the social dream. It develops the idea that no art
form goes beyond the ordinary process of consciousness in the same
way as film, reflecting, as it does, the cognitive, emotional, and
volitional aspects of human nature.
