問題詳情

B. Passage 2     For some time now, it has been possible to imagine a moment when you will be able to watch whateveryou want whenever you want in the setting of your choice. The handful of websites that now offer streaming ordownloadable feature films offer a glimpse of what is to come.    One of the intriguing promises these websites hold is a kind of virtual cinematheque. The retrieval andpreservation of film history has been a project of many decades, accelerated and democratized by the rise of theDVD, which has put hundreds of old films in easy reach of the multitudes. Now, with the Internet that extends thepromise of comprehensiveness and universal accessibility, it is possible to expect that before too long the entiresurviving history of movies will be open for browsing and sampling at the click of a mouse for a few dollars.     Besides making the established home viewing habits a bit easier to indulge, the on-line viewingexperience also makes possible the rise of on-line video as a form of first-run distribution. That is, as more andmore movies that find their public not at the multiplex or the art house, but at your house, the tyranny of featurefilms will erode. It is nearly impossible for a film that runs less than 70 minutes to be booked into a theater byitself, or for, say, a 17-minute movie to be given a block of television time. But on-line screen time is moreflexible and may thus reward filmmakers for brevity or at least economy of expression.
