"The flow of the universe in time": the visuals of Romanticism and the metaphysics of cinema
The purpose of the study is to showcase the agile status of visuality in the romantic worldview, which could allow a specific symbolic development, in which cinema, as the newest of the arts, at the same time turns out to be the oldest and most universal way of revealing the existence of the universe, thus compelling the deepest philosophical potential in its very nature. The methodological basis of the research is typological hermeneutics, in this case, related to the modelling of dynamic connections of cultural universals. The characterology of the mobile status of visuality in romantic culture is described. The dangers of total visualization have been discovered. From within the global cultural crisis of the New Age, at the end of it, the deepest soteriological possibilities in the field of metaphysically meaningful cinematography are revealed. At the same time, this experience gives an unprecedented opportunity in human history to touch the elusive being of cosmic time itself.
