“Bugs Bunny, imitating the conductor Leopold Stokowski in concert, will violently raise his arms in onetwelfth of a second (two frames of film). Every part of his body will be rock-still — save for Bugs’s quivering hand.
It is impossible for a living being to do this, but not for Bugs. He is truly Stokowski, more Stokowski than Stokowski was himself, because Bugs is the impression of Stokowski: his power, his arrogance, his supreme control over his musicians, perfectly boiled down to its essence. We laugh because it is completely unreal and utterly truthful in the same moment.”
I found this particularly interesting because it creates a parallel truth. Right next to our sensory truth, there is another layer of truth – perceived truth. An impressionistic truth.
Non-linear cinema will begin to have an effect of reality-tv.
That’s all I’ve got on that…
