Let's make a symbolic model to understand the subject as follows:
- The importance of the symbolic models (thinking e.g.) increases
- A big fraction of the population has difficulties to evolve based on symbolic models (fundamentalism)
- Fundamentalism means to return to image models
- This return is possible only partially.
Because returning to image models affects an important fraction of the population, why is it not seen in painting and sculpture? The explanation is that the brain has lost a lot of its capacity to make and operate pure image models. The brain returns to image models, but it stops at the level of concept models.
Cinematography is one of the responses suitable to this situation. Thus, there are cartoons, based on concept image models. They are strongly attached to symbolic models. There are cartoons, in which symbolic models are more important than the concept image models.
Today's successful movies are image models, which try to develop and extend some of the incipient image models preexisting in the mind of the viewer.
We remind here that people have the tendency to expand their structure of models outside their mind. When the models can't be expanded to the external reality, there is the tendency to expand these models into a virtual reality. This is speculated by cinematography, depending on the profile of image models in different cultural zones.
From this point of view, movies can be very dangerous. They make these developments based on what people would like to happen and on the other hand, they favorize the fundamental tendencies of various social groups.
