The Movement Image (Cinema 1) By Image, Deleuze follows Bergson to mean something both very simple and very broad — “the set of what appears,” how this set appears in constant flux between intersecting parts in relation to a whole. Each chapter is detailed in three numbered subsections with subheadings that indicate the subsection subject matter that is unabridged in the Contents. The tone of this work is objective, structured, logical and analytic. In his first book about film, Gilles Deleuze writes about the traditional meaning of the word "philosophy" as "the creation of concepts." As D. N. Rodowick - who wrote the first commentary on Deleuze's "[I]f the cinematographic perception-image consequently passes from the subjective to the objective, and vice versa, should we not ascribe to it a specific, diffuse, supple status […]? We will – in this way – be able to discover how a sign becomes the principle of the film, and so be able to say this film accords with such a sign".Gilles Deleuze, 'Portrait of the Philosopher as a Moviegoer' in "Cinema 1, The Movement Image" written by Gilles Deleuze is a 250 page text with detailed Contents, Preface and Translator's introduction. "...the American cinema constantly shoots and reshoots a single fundamental film, which is the birth of a nation-civilisation, whose first version was provided by Griffith." However, there is an interval between perception and action: This type of affection-image corresponds to the sign of solid perception of the perception-image and is called the "icon". Of course, perception is strictly identical to every image […] And perception will not constitute a first type of image in the movement-image without being extended into the other types […]: perception of action, of affection, of relation […] The perception-image will therefore be like a degree zero in the deduction which is carried out as a function of the movement-image”.Deleuze can thus align Bergson and Peirce, as well as his own ciné-system: everything you need to sharpen your knowledge of Cinema 1. Different conceptions of duration and movement can be seen in the four distinct schools of montage: the organic montage of the American school, the Deleuze sees a correspondence between Bergson’s philosophy of movement and the cinematic medium. … Such affects will pass into action: as impulses and symptoms of the world of primal forces; as behaviours which both reveal the world and attempt to resolve the world […] Such characters and such situations can be reflected upon and so be transformed through cinematic figures equivalent to metaphors, metonyms, inversions, problems and questions. Ironically, despite the generally high emotive content of cinema, this text is unemotional and devoid of the creative fantasy found in moving pictures. ""Cinema 1, The Movement Image" written by Gilles Deleuze is a 250 page text with detailed Contents, Preface and Translator's introduction. "Cinema 1" will impress the reader with its sophistication and far-reaching breadth of study for as long as the reader remains alert. Deleuze starts by critiquing Henri Bergson's theses and goes on to critique Peirce's classification of sign types in an approach to images. This academic study is researched and annotated. The body is comprised of twelve numbered chapters with titles describing subject matter of the chapter. Deleuze defines two forms of the action-image: the “We hardly believe any longer that a global situation can give rise to an action which is capable of modifying it – no more than we believe that an action can force a situation to disclose itself, even partially”.Deleuze sees a correspondence between Bergson's types of images and Peirce's semiotics.“claims the three types of image as a fact, instead of deducing them […] the affection-image, the action-image and the relation-image […] are deduced from the movement-image […] this deduction is possible only if we first assume a perception-image. Life or the virtual is univocal. 40-55), the end Claire Colebrook writes that while both books are clearly about cinema, Deleuze also uses films to theorise - through movement and time - life as a whole.Deleuze, commenting on Bergson's philosophy in his most well known text, Deleuze illustrates such claims by turning to the birth of the cinematograph, to the That which is within the frame (characters, sets, props, colours, and even implicit sound) is a relatively closed system, and can be treated as a purely spatial composition.
