I keep rereading your question V, it seems like your asking if it's one or the other. Like your asking if cinema can be narrowed down into a finite catagory. 'Cinematography', The art or technique of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film(dictionary). So why we go to see it isn't as important as it's there. However, I still can't shake the fact that people don't like stories that they can not connect to in a realistic sence. Even if the only way to get something to show up on film is fake, it represents, and apears very real on film (when Roderick wants it to of course). And that's what's important, not what's left when you take the magic away.
