When the motion-picture camera was invented, many early filmmakers
simply recorded stage plays, as if the camera’s value was just to
preserve the theatrical performance and enlarge its audience. To be

realized that the camera was more revolutionary than that. It freed
them from the confines of a theater. Audiences could be transported
anywhere.
And yet the stream back into theatres in the thousands to sit
uncomfortably on some teenager's chewing gum. Strange, innit?
