You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies.

Watching a movie from beginning to end is like reading, because even though what you see are images, they are telling you a story. ↗

Anticipation of movement, through muscular innervation and memory, by its retention of nerve impulse images, extend the present to the limit of a second or so. ↗
