Movie Stars and Their Effect on People

The star is a creation of modern cinema. Film recreates the dream world. What enabled film to manufacture the star was the close up, which suddenly separates actors from their contexts. We glimpse something of gretta garbo herself when we look so closely into her face. Never forget this while fashioning yourself as a star. You mus have a style or presence that makes you stand out from everyone else. Be vague and dreamlike, yet not distant or absent. Your opponent should be framed not merely as an enemy for reasons of ideology or competition, but as a villain, a demon. People are hopelessly susceptible to myth so make yourself the hero of a great drama and keep your distance
