The article presented some interesting thought I would like to possibly explore, such as how film/photography can preserve a person from the endless flow of time. The subject can never actually go back or relive that specific moment, they can only move forward, yet that moment can be replayed for eternity. So, essentially that person can revisit their past from an outsider perspective and witness themselves captured forever in that moment.
Also, the idea that film can never be entirely real, it must "surrender a measure of reality." How the viewer of the end product will never actually witness the real thing, the entire package, how reality is essentially lost once its lived the first time, much like the dinosaur sponges that never go back to their original size after they are used. This actually contradicts the first idea how viewing your past self will never entirely be true.
Lastly, I found it extremely interesting that Brazin predicted that by 2000, humans would have almost prefected "the art of reality", while fantasy films such as avatar, toy story 3, lord of the rings and inception are among the highest grossing films ever.
i also really enjoyed the line "life spilling over the border of the frame"
