Title: Secret Cinema Gnostic Vision in Film Author: Eric G Wilson In the last twenty years or so, numerous mainstream movies have drawn from ideas and images of ancient thought to address the collapse of appearance and reality. In films like The Matrix (1999) and the Truman Show (1998), Gnostic myths have offered speculations on the real as well as conspiracy theories. The Cabbalistic motif of golem - making has provided such movies as A.I. (2001) and Blade Runner (1982) with mediations on the human and with parables of machines yearning for life. Pictures like Dead Man (1996) and Altered States (1980) have drawn on alchemical symbols to explore the possibilities of transmutation and to feature stories of the dead rising to life. Recent commercial Gnostic films are meditations on the conundrums of the post modern age and the timeless soul. The book has a blue illustrated cover and blue and white lettering to the spine. All four outer corners upper and lower on the front and rear cover have bumping and wear and tear. The plastic cover of the book has crinkling in the upper section of the front cover and spine. There is excessive underlining, notes etc throughout the book. The spine of the book has been cocked. The upper outer page corners have creases throughout the book. The front endpage as can be seen from the picture has excessive ink marks from note taking.
