Notes
Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr.24 cm.Non-figurative metaphor - used often in film where literal images have a metaphorical dimension. (|Could be seen as a parallel to performative metaphor) - p. 184"very oridanry real-world scenes can povey powerful metaphorical messages." (p. 185)"Many mainstream films employ metaphors that are embedded nonfiguratively in the 'text' of the narrative. In this way, metaphorical and litral levels of meaning are made to coexist on film to a greater degree than is thought to be the case with literary works." (p. 185) (|e.g. the diving scene in The Graduate)
