The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER VIII
2/30

A mark of the Fairy Play is the gesture of incantation, the sweep of the arm whereby Mab would transform a prince into a hawk.

The other Splendor Films deal with the total gestures of crowds: the pantomime of a torch-waving mass of men, the drill of an army on the march, or the bending of the heads of a congregation receiving the benediction.
Another way to demonstrate the thesis is to use the old classification of poetry: dramatic, lyric, epic.

The Action Play is a narrow form of the dramatic.

The Intimate Motion Picture is an equivalent of the lyric.

In the seventeenth chapter it is shown that one type of the Intimate might be classed as imagist.
