Page 35

The page preserves a quotation about cinema as illusion and public overreaction, making it read like a note toward the manuscript's own thinking about performance and spectatorship.

Because it is explicitly quoted and attributed, the page feels more like an inserted citation than original composition. Still, the choice of quotation is revealing: it matches the archive's recurring interest in artifice, emotion, and the social power of staged images.

A copied-out citation rather than original composition: 'The mayor explained in a proclamation that the / cinema was & machine of illusions that did not / merit the emotional outbursts of the audience,' attributed 'From One Hundred Years Of Solitude / By Gabriel Garcia Marquez.' The chosen line matches the notebook's recurring suspicion of artifice and staged emotion - cinema as illusion-machine - imported here as borrowed thinking about spectatorship.
