simultaneous impulses. Film strip and sequence cannot but 
bow to this superior power. Our own youngsters have taken the 
TV message to heart in their beatnik rejection of consumer

     Since the best way to get to the core of a form is to 
study its effect in some unfamiliar setting, let us note what 
President Sukarno of Indonesia announced in 1956 to a large 
group of Hollywood executives. He said that he regarded them 
as political radicals and revolutionaries who had greatly 
hastened political change in the East. What the Orient saw in a 
Hollywood movie was a world in which all the ordinary people  
had cars and electric stoves and refrigerators. So the Oriental 
now regards himself as an ordinary person who has been 
deprived of the ordinary man’s birthright.
