- According to Cavell, the value of a culture lies not in its "great art" but in its transformative capacity, the same capacity found in the "moral perfectionism" of Emerson and Thoreau. (Warshow xxxviii) The Democracy of Cinema In The World Viewed, Cavell's starting point was the popular nature of cinema, which he connected to a certain relation to ordinary life: an intimacy with the ordinary.\n S. Eliot and Henry James . . . are great artists, unlike those who create the comic strip Krazy Kat and write Broadway plays and make Hollywood movies, the latter say things he (also) wants to hear, or rather things he (also) can and must understand his relation to; this relation manifests the way he lives, his actual life of culture.
