The cinema as an experience esthetic

Abstract

The film can be considered in a broad sense, as a language, or rather, a fact of language. But this has a number of pragmatic functions (communication or knowledge) that are outside of the aesthetic experience, which seems to escape or go beyond that logic merely utilitarian. Textual analysis is exploring, building a theory first and then check on the specific study of a film. In this case we chose The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford, 1962).
