Cinematographic Simulacra
Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Reality provokes and inspires us to create new worlds. Parallel universes are designed by our imaginative potential. This paper aims to show how film proves to be a perfect medium to support the spectacle of entertainment and visual imagination by projecting spaces of utopian and dystopian phantasmagorias. Through the analysis of certain films it is shown how these (film) largest levels of reality of Bodriar’s simulacra erase the boundaries between the real and the virtual world, both in time and space. The question is whether the increase in multiplied media and genre hybridity in the last decades of the twentieth century and the first years of the twenty-first century contributed to and supported the transformation of our conception of reality in a wondrous world.
