Reading this I hit a point where I read under all his embellishments to the underlying fascination. His underlying fascination is with the psychological effects of sensory deprivation and also over-stimulus. Religion uses this effect in its rituals and so do films, as he states. The effects of attending a film showing and emerging back into the real world has happened to me in many other situations like movies, and concerts. It is a unifying force when a group of people experience the same phenomena and realize they are not alone in their experience. In part this is a driving force in religious practices or cult rituals. By controlling what stimulus people received you can change the impact it has on them. A "persuasive" tactic like this is used in many ways in our entertainment forms by way of cinematic tropes, musical motifs for certain characters or situations and in the lighting used. It is recognizable, but often overlooked because it is nothing new to the audience after growing up seeing these methods over and over again.

The closest combo clip I have to illustrate my point is: http://youtu.be/IovKwhJ00GY
