What Makes a Great Movie? Notes on Casablanca

Via Scoop.it – Story and Narrative

But then I thought of a book I happened to be sampling at the moment, Thinking, Fast and Slow by Princeton psychologist Daniel Kahneman, who won a Nobel Prize in economics. Kahneman brings together a lot of recent research in economics and psychology to analyze the way humans make decisions. We all have evolved what Kahneman likes to call System 1, the intuitive part of ourselves that we use without even being aware that we’re thinking. System 1 tells us within a millisecond of walking in the door that our spouse is ticked at us, or that 2+2 = 4. It’s the system that puts the illusion in optical illusions, and the one that tells us to start moving when we spot a tiger bounding over its cage wall in a zoo. When Allen Ginsberg said, “First thought, best thought,” he was really saying , “Trust your System 1.”
