The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema



                                                            'Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. 

                        It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire' 

                                                                                   - Slavoj Zizek




Slavoj Žižek discusses how fascination of films in today society is reinforced by pre-existing patterns within the individual subject and the social formations in which people are being easily deceive.

Reality is not illusion, and illusion is entirely different from reality, therefore films can separate reality from illusions. Films controls images and by showing lots of spectacles, it’s the power of manipulating peoples mind in order to create a new dimension of storyline. A scene without dialogue in a film creates different perception of viewers, but in films it’s possible to make things clear by showing an organize illustration of scenes.
