| Abstract | This paper contrasts classical Aristotelian narrative, which encouraged intellectual reflection and came to dominate Hollywood film by the 1930s, with the pulsating images which began to appear in the 1980 as a result of MTV's influence on films. The discussion focuses on two major Hollywood films: "Grapes of Wrath" (1940) and "Top Gun" (1986). The classical Hollywood style film represented in "Grapes of Wrath" uses sequential narrative, shot framing and a natural editing pace; it demands sustained attention, intellectual reflection, and emotional empathy. The ultimate effect of "Top Gun," which uses minimal dialogue and sharp cuts between disconnected images that pulse on and off the screen in a rock and roll beat, is the reverse of the classic Hollywood style: devoid of complexity, almost non-existent in linear plot, one- or two-dimensional in character, and pleasurable without having any intellectually reflective opportunity. Sensual images are absorbed instantaneously, and the viewer has time only to feel their immediate and momentary impact. While the ability to process the visual image and absorb its meaning emotionally and tonally has increased, there is no comparable time for reflection. What is happening in film is part of a larger paradigmatic shift in perceptual process in which sensory stimulation alone has become the meaning. (Contains 11 references.) (AEF) |
