THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA
prepared to pick out the best things and reject the poor things. This way, films can only influence for the good.
2. In reply to the second question, I can definitely say that I seldom, if ever, dream of films. I dream a good deal, and being rather interested in Dunn's theory, take a good deal of notice of what I dream. I have never had a nightmare following any of the 'Horror' films, and have only once dreampt (dreamt) of being mixed up in any shooting. Admittedly, it is very difficult to draw a line, as films are very muddled and impossible things at the best of times. However, I have never knowingly dreampt (dreamt) about a film after seeing it.
Here are a few facts about myself. I am 1 9 years of age, a girl, and English. I work in an Accounts Department as a Book-keeper and Wages Clerk. My father is a Motor Engineer, and we live on the outskirts of a largish seaside resort. I hope I may say that I am intelligent, and take a very great interest in modern progress.
38. Mrs. . . .
In your issue of Picturegoer of last week, you asked if any picture (film) had influenced any decision. Well I most certainly think they do, I will relate you mine. I am the mother of three daughters, a widow, and had brought up my children, as I thought, in the proper way, however one, like very many more, in this present war, formed an attachment for a married man, and left me. No one can imagine what a blow this can be. I was very bitter and felt I would never forgive her, I went to see the film {Dear Octopus) and a scene in which the same sort of thing had happened, the daughter returns penitent, the mother forgives her with the words that impressed me. (She would rather lose a conviction than a daughter) which changed my views.
I am 50 years of age.
39. Mr
With regards to your enquiry about films influencing persons I have found that some films definitely do.
I found that the film Between Two Worlds did influence me in my personal decisions.
Before I saw this film I felt very depressed at times, so much so that I even considered committing suicide. I felt that life wasn't worth living, and that little daily disturbances worried me to distraction. But after seeing the film I had an altogether different view point. I saw what happened to those who did commit suicide.
