But at the same time he shows us how movies, offering a seductive escape from the everyday reality and its responsibilities, have made it possible for us to evade life altogether. The entranced audience has become a model for powerless citizens trying to pursue happiness by sitting quietly in a dark room. Does the big screen take us out into the world, or merely mesmerize us? That is Thomsons question in this great adventure of a book. A passionate feat of storytelling that is vital to anyone trying to make sense of the age of screens - the age that, more than ever, we are living in.</p>...2927894The Big Screen240283https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-big-screen-9780141949123/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3785430/ec80823d-75f9-4ac1-8abe-47816426133a.jpg?v=638919187261170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20129780141949123_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_<p>In this triumphant work David Thomson, one of films greatest living experts and author of <em>The New Biographical Dictionary of Film</em>, tells the enthralling story of the movies and how they have shaped us.</p><p><strong><em>Sunday Times</em>, <em>New Statesman</em>, <em>The Times</em>, <em>Guardian</em>, <em>Observer</em> and <em>Independent</em> BOOKS OF THE YEAR</strong></p><p>Taking us around the globe, through time and across multiple media, Thomson tracks the ways in which we were initially enchanted by this mesmerizing imitation of life and let movies - the stories, the stars, the look - show us how to live.
