Today I want to inaugurate this new category in NewsCinema, movie books, where we will surely discover many interesting books for all those who like, not only enjoy the cinema in an armchair, but also enjoy reading about it and discovering new things about the seventh art.
Today we will recommend a book titled Secret messages of the cinema de Gaston Soublette, a man who has been a tenured professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile for thirty long years, at the Faculty of Philosophy and Aesthetics, during which time he held various chairs related to the theory of art and the philosophy of the East, but also highlights one related to the symbolism of cinema.
In this book we will not find a simple film criticism, but the author goes much further, neatly touching the interpretation of cinematographic language in its ideological content, resulting in an analysis of several film classics, where we will discover a series of stimuli subliminals that filmmakers introduce to get the viewer to spontaneously adhere to a specific ideological orientation.
The classics that this book analyzes are the following:
Lights in the city
Casablanca
Pinocchio
Singing under the rain
2001 a space odyssey
