Is it easier for skilled authors to manipulate movie viewers or book readers? Why or why not?"
My opinion is that movies are a more effective tool, in achieving the creator's purpose. Today in the modern world, they are a powerful means of communication. A large portion of the population attends the cinema, or watches television at home or on online. Consumers are constantly being influenced by film, in the form of movie trailers, ads, and billboards. These portals to entertainment have enormous potential to create change. Dramatic scenes that evoke emotion and feeling in spectators are one way to grab one's attention. Talented actors make it difficult to discern reality from fantasy, as they excel at playing their roles. They bring the characters within books to life, letting us gaze into a vast, diverse world of endless possibilities. There is no confines to imagination, or boundaries directors can't cross. Book-lovers wildest dreams come true, as they are transported to a land of proverbial bliss. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, their minds and hearts are being impacted by views expressed in the picture.
Directors drop subtle hints throughout the course of the 1-2 hours we spend watching a movie. They don't spread their opinions in an obvious or conspicuous manner. Instead, they employ clever tactics to express their hypothesis on a particular subject. An observant person will easily pick up on exactly what they are attempting to convey. For example, in Casablanca, an anti-German perspective is advocated. Elsa and her husband, Victor Lazlo, are trying desperately to escape to America, where he will be safe from the Nazis reach. Eventually, Elsa's ex-lover, Rick agrees to assist them in obtaining visas for travel.
He also is persuaded to join in Laslo's Czech defiance movement. Elsa's prospect is similar to most of the refugees who traveled to Morocco's grand city. They were all hoping to journey to the USA, where freedom and neutrality were abundant. Germany was seen as a ever-growing threat, whose occupation would soon span all of Europe. It's shocking the incredible difficulties the fugitives in Casablanca encountered, whilst striving to vacate. Unfortunately, many of them were forced to stay in Morocco for years, waiting for acceptance. If they were poor and penniless, this only decreased their chances of success. It took a great deal of cash to buy passports for passage and transportation to the grand United States of America.
Casablanca strongly pushes a negative view of the Germans, as a cruel and heartless race of human beings.
