Spectacle is instrumental in the artistic expression of movies. It is also a seismic factor that influences people to watch films, as an aesthetic activity. When the concept of spectacle was first proposed, it referred, in most cases, to the visual impact of movie images. As the art of cinema matures, in addition to the audio-visual part, the effect of spectacle in the narrative plot is gaining mounting attention. This paper focuses on the presentation of spectacle aesthetics in three dimensions: audio-visual, storytelling, and narrative.
