How does Bordwell refute the theory that ideas such as reflexivity and pastische in film are a modern phenomenon?
He provides examples of studio films that were self-reflexive at the alleged 'end' of the studio era; such as Singing in the Rain and Citizen Kane.
Name some sources of the 'classical cinematic expression' that came from outside the media of film.
Popular literature and drama: Psychological casualty, planting/payoff, rising action
Theater, painting, graphic arts: spatial vantage points, pictoral comparison
What is does Bordwell state is his ultimate goal for the book?
To emphasize the craft of storytelling by studying finished films and use them to understand the underlying plots and visual styles.

I was hoping for questions about parts people might not understand. But my bad for not being clear.
