Film Cameras and Cinema

James Joyce wrote the dead using free indirect speech sometime around 1910. He was trying to imagine what cinema could be like, he says. Ireland's first cinema was opened in 1909 on Henry Street in Dublin guess who opened it? It was James Joyce. technology of cinema here's the thing imagine it's fucking 1910 or 1914 or whatever you've never seen a moving image like it's impossible for us now to not imagine things from the perspective of video cameras we shoot videos every day on our phones I know what camera angles look like as someone who writes when I write a short story it's nearly impossible for me to not imagine a camera in my head as I write.
