Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1817 term, a willing suspension of disbelief, has survived and been used by film critics and others to describe what happens when a movie viewer watches a movie. This book makes an account for the concept and provides a contemporary analysis of film viewing process from a variety of critical and empirical perspectives.
Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Poetic Faith in Film is a study of the way we watch film. Anthony Ferri explores the way expectations influence what they see, feel, and experience. Using Coleridge''s term "willing suspension of disbelief" as a starting point, Ferri sets forth a fascinating study of the psychology of watching film. While film scholars and professionals have alluded to Coleridge''s term in a parenthetical or tertiary manner, this volume makes a definitive account for the concept and provides a contemporary analysis of the film viewing process from a variety of critical and empirical perspectives.Willing Suspension of Disbelief is valuable for film scholars and students of film.
