The two strongest feelings：
1.I seldom read comics and I have always had misunderstandings about comics as the author mentioned.
But after reading this book, I really want to try to read comics.
2.As a filmmaker before,I always think about what kind of movies can attract the audience and interactive with their emotions.
I think I found a lot of answers in this book.Most of the author's views are based on art history, and the filmmaking is also based on art history.
This is why I think the same principle can be applied to filmmaking.And I think I found the reason why Marvel movies are so popular in this book.
I would like to talk more about this point.
1).Simplifying or cartoonizing characters as much as possible is an effective way to make it easier for the audience to enter your story.
This is why some ordinary-looking girls can become popular movie stars（at least in China).Because the audience can see themselves from her.
And once who "I" is becomes less important, what "I" says becomes more important.
However, based on my previous experience of reading comics, I always feel that they are too unlike me and feel sleepy.
why？
2）Closure(知觉封闭性）and its technology.
This is a viewpoint that I didn’t realize before, I want to read more about McLuhan’s related works
a.The most interesting thing I think, is the author conducted a quantitative study between each frame of the comic.I think it can also be used for transitions between scenes in a movie.
b.The balance between SUBTRACTIVE and ADDITIVE.
c.Method of controlling time with panel（p101）.
This reminds me of ” bullet time”(子弹时间） in The Matrix.It turns out that in movies we have so many (or even more) media methods to change the audience’s perception of time.Every innovation is a huge advancement that will be remembered in the history of film.
What’s more interesting is that we can find references from comics！
Duchamp’s “Motion Line” reminds me of “Bullet Time” in The Matrix.
3）Is emotion visible？
Comics have their own unique media methods. I feel shocked that such simple media can express emotions so vividly.And with more and more complex media means, we should be able to express emotions better.
Comics can be the basic reference.
As a basic and long-standing art form, comics inspired me a lot in filmmaking.I also have a more vivid understanding of art history from the author's interesting cases.
If the purpose of this book is to arouse the interest of someone who has no interest in comics at all, I have to say he is completely successful.I am eager to read the comics in different styles mentioned in the book!
