"some people did understand the mechanics of film production. his problem was with things like classical editing practices that masked many of the processes of filmmaking. In thinking about Nazi propaganda films, there's a huge change from expressionist cinema, where it's undeniable that there's a lot of manipulation going on... I don't think it's necessarily the whole medium of film that scares benjamin, but, rather, the way it can be mobilized (to aestheticize politics) when put into the wrong hands."
