metaphors on vision

This was a fairly odd reading. It gave me the impression that it ended in the middle of its stride with an abrupt end and forced conclusion. With that said, the author makes an interesting observation and that being the thought that we lose the full perception of sight as we mature. The sight lost was a more perfect sight that could see beyond "reality", beyond labels, to see visions and abstractions as a natural occurrence. At least that's the conclusion I came to from the reading.

But I feel what truly discredits the author is when he states "In the present time very few have continued the process of visual perception in its deepest sense and transformed their inspirations into cinematic experiences." This statement is full of bias based on one man's opinion on a matter he himself defined. The entire reading is about how modern artists lack in as full a level of perception as previous generations of artists once had (which I could understand if he would've defended his point more completely). What I find bothersome however is in the statement I quoted he gives the impression that the modern use of true visual perception is only being used in cinema (which is the bias I spoke of). I'm of the opinion that no perception is typecasted into one type of media.
