« … the essence of the cinematographic movement-image lies in extracting from vehicles or moving bodies the movement which is their common substance, or extracting from movements the mobility which is their essence » (Deleuze 23).
Reading Deleuze raises more questions than it provides answers… Is the “extracted or pure movement” akin to human imagination, which is itself able to move freely from one thought (image) to another, effortlessly crossing the borders of time and space? Does this mechanism of memories and rêveries simply become a technological externalization of what was going in psyche since the very beginning of human existence? When watching a film, why are we feeling profoundly affected by particular images and movements which were artificially created by the authors?
