omologate dalle contraddizioni
degli agenti fino a divenir banali,
vecchiume trito e ritrito. Così,
per un complesso di accidenti
ineluttabili, unico autore
effettivo emerge il produttore
che permette il che e il come, e
unico moderatore, manipolatore
REMBRANDT - Cena in Emmaus
delle idee resta chi può esporre
o fornire il denaro. E poiché il
denaro per il denaro rappresenta
ormai l'unica e autoritaria
ideologia del secolo, l'opera va
fatta in questo contesto, senza
titubanze cioè, il più presto
possibile, soprattutto per gente
che non deve pensare.
Un'opera "di evasione", come
amano affermare i tenutari del
capitale, che possa allontanare
solo per pochi attimi le masse
dalla dura realtà del lavoro, quel
tempo sufficiente ad
un'equilibrata ricarica

Disagreement between the various agents, results in the homologization of
all ideas, to the point that they become utterly worn out and banal, after
which they are constantly rehashed. Thus, due to a series of unavoidable
accidents, it is the producer who emerges as the effective author, who says
what will be filmed and hew, while the person who either obtains or pats up
the money, becomes the sole moderator and controller of ideas. And as
money is now money's god, and constitutes the ruling ideology of the 20th
Century, the film is made according to this philosophy, without any
hesitation, that is, as quickly as possible and, above all, for people who
mustn't think! Escapist entertainment, as the people who hold the capital
like to define it, which allows the masses to escape momentarily from the
grim reality of work, but just long enough to enable them to sufficiently
recharge, so that they can continue to sacrifice themselves daily, to increase
productivity and boost company profits.
In the audiovisual field, this operation is carried out by constantly
developing equipment that does the job faster and more cheaply, arriving
at the maximum of technological invention which, in exchange for a
mediocre product, which is nevertheless acceptable to the public,
guarantees rapid realization, distribution and consumption
And this is why it is so difficult to improve the quality of the projection of
films in the cinema, in spite of all the polemics indulged in and provisions
made by the State! The problem is not so much the Exhibitor's negligence,
but rather a lack of responsibility, which causes him to react aggressively to
the negative stimuli of an economic system which, in fact, gives him no
other choice.
The love of beautiful images, of well-composed photography becomes a mere
pretext, and anyone who still actually yearns for those things of times gone
by, gives a little cry and falls into a dead faint, like the young maidens of
