the reason why movies fail to move

I think has something to do with the McKee-ization of cinema.
Everyone's got the formula down pat, the herky jerky elaboration of plot
So that the elements are an afterthought, plug them in
Kind of like how Henry Kissinger viewed people, or populations, whole countries
as elements of realpolitik to be manipulated
the currency must be a given, gotten out of the way
But it's cinema that's being done away with by this calculation
Things learned, discovered about human beings on the screen
Felt.
This I know and feel to be true, and hold out hope of expressing
The field is wide open
The soul hasn't been ministered to for ages and languishes.
