Devotion to Cinema as Devotion to Religion

In Devotional Cinema, Dorsky compared all of the devotion of an organized religion to that of the cinema. His reasoning for this is that film has grown in such power that it may equal the power of religion, in the sense that it could completely change the reality of a person upon walking out of a theatre, for example.

For all this power that he stated the theatre has I must agree that it does have a great deal of power of people. They are pulled into all of the worlds and realms that the cinema creates, giving them nothing more to focus on afterwords. Even the grandiosity of it all seems to create a cathedral like air. This I wonder, if the the film industry should be more carful with what they put out than what it makes at the box. It seems that something to say is still bigger than the money behind it.
