The article discusses the three major parts in performance art. These three parts are: play, symbol, and festival. The play are the characters and their movements in the piece. The symbols are things that relate to the piece and give it feeling and emotion. The festival is how the piece draws an audience, a community of people that it speaks to, together. These three parts in performance art can also be found in movies thus making movies art as well. There are movements and actions of characters in a film, there are objects, settings, music, etc that all show symbolism in certain scenes of the film. Lastly, movies draw an audience and bring a community of people together. When people see a trailer of a movie on tv that "speaks" to them, something that they find interesting, they go to the movie theater and watch it. These examples show how video is an art.
The emotion of the scene that I've posted from Inception is set through the three major parts of the art. The actions, words, movements, settings, tone of voices, etc of the characters all help in giving the audience the sense of emotion that the filmmaker was trying to portray. The filmmaker's use of symbols also help in adding to the emotion.
