Illusion of Movement

In my view, it makes sense to underline the illusion of absent movement that cinema offers us. The intermediate images which we perceive at the rate of 24 frames per second make us experience just as if they were real although they do not exist on the material level. However, it is impossible to separate the cinematic movement from the larger concept of screen-time that might be articulated as a kind of meta-time. In this relationship, the Deleuzian term movement-image appears adequate to describe its ambiguous nature shaping our perception of time as an artistic (artificial) image of reality, which Andrei Tarkovsky calls a metaphor of reality.
