[Cinema] — We have learned in school the story of the Gorgon Medusa whose face was so horrible that the sheer sight of it turned man and beasts into stone. When Athena instigated Perseus to slay the monster, she warned him never to look at its face but only at its mirror reflection in the polished shield. Following her advice Perseus cut off Medusa's head. The moral is that we do not, and cannot, see actual horrors because they paralyze us with blinding fear; and that we shall know what they look like only by watching images which reproduce their appearance. The cinema screen is Athena's polished shield.
