Reading from pp112-127

In the first chapter, Youngblood proposed his viewpoints of synaesthetic cinema from a sexual angel and used some films to analyse them. As for the second one, he introduced the concept of "extra-objective reality" into his synaesthetic cinema. Two aspects are fresh and interesting to me, actually, he investigated them because he could make the difference between the art and the life and then refine the nature of both to build up his own comprehensive thoughts. Just like what he said, mostly, our artistic work which intend to transmit our abstract emotion or expression, invariably and undoubtedly, bases on our observation and understanding of the real world we lived in. This is also a good thinking model or in other words, a crystal-clear self-awareness to define some laws which could be applied in our life. All in all, we should not only to learn how to conclude the important significance following our traditional common sense or breaking our of normal principle, but also try to classify why the superficial layer come out and respect some of our simple human behaviour. Existence due to its rationality. human is a creature who could possess two contradicted minds at the same time and what we are ought to do is just to utilize our controllable power and artistic way to express them, combining the science which from our knowledge and the human nature, whether good or bad all  together, then begin to analyse them once again, from any way you like, just feel free and comfortable, let your audience taste this feeling as well,by this way, I think even an artist makes an "illusion", people only feel more realistic characters in watching.
