Why thrillers thrive article.

Main points:

'Why do we go to the pictures? To see life reflected on the screen, certaintly - but what kind of life?'

  • 'thrills'
  • Nature
  • Shake ups
  • Sluggish & jellified if pictures are not attended
  • We are safe, secure, sitting in an armchair and looking at the struggle and turmoil of life through a window, as it were. 
  • Death
  • grim, tense, horror
  • shuddering effect running down audience 
  • no harm
  • cinema - leaves subconscious assurance of absolute safety, and yet surprise his imagination into playing tricks on him.
  • audiences sympathy is involed in danger. 
  • impression of grear danger, where no danger is. 
  • You see, with own eyes, which cannot lie!
  • skillful editing!!
  • scenes, which set the blood pounding through the veins 
  • thrives on audience
  • everybody is happy
  • horror
  • emotional jolt, exploit sadism, perversion, bestility, and deformity.
  • create unnatural excitement
