Filmový obraz jako médium otřesu myšlení
Cinema screen as a medium of rupture in thought

Summary/Abstract: The main objektive of the paper is to present cinema screen as a medium of rupture in thought. In this respect I refer to the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. In his writings about cinema, Deleuze says that after the Second World War the Italian neorealism came up with new concept of screen which he calls time-image. In the time-image is the main theme the time itself and we are exposed (as well as the actors in the film) to the purely optical and sound situation. These events lead to the sensomotoric break. The screen affects us and has the potential to produce a specific kind of “spiritual life” which exercises the highest activity of thought. But this highest spiritual activity is conditioned by the shock which is derived from the screen itself.
