The Conceptual Production of Facial Experience:Rereading Béla Balázs's Cinematic Microphysiogonomy
The complex meaning conveyed by the face in the movie opened Balazs Bella's eyes to the possibility of con-structing an organic perception of life in the movie.Balaz's cinematic microphysiogonomy needs to be interpreted in the complex context of the pre-modern experience of the"face",the interweaving of the formal representation of the mov-ie,and the aesthetic spirit of the subject.Balaz believes.as an unconscious heritage that showcases the vitality of hu-man life,the face reflects the soul of ancestors,making it possible to explore new forms of expression and spiritual development for humanity.The"atmosphere"generated by the subject's attention to the facial micro movement in the close-up shot is the key to understanding cinematic microphysiogonomy.At present,in the transformation of movie faces from"mechanical replication"to"digital generation",people should not only see the materiality of the face and construct a sensory world that is indistinguishable from reality,but also pay attention to aesthetic cognition based on sensory experience,reshaping the"indescribable"nature of the"visible"face.
