Abstract

In the year 1955 the writer Juan Gil-Albert published a brief text entitled Contra el cine in which, as a mature man and author, he approaches the subject of cinematography. Francisco Ayala had already written on the theme in a series of articles published in 1929. In Ayala's texts the confrontation of the young and the adult reveals divergent perspectives in relation to a common centre of interest.

Ayala and Gil-Albert share only the subject to be realt with and both of them, despite the fact that they were born in the same year (1906), differ as to the mood of the work published as well as in their points of view, approaches and conclusions. It is precisely in the approach to the same subject that the difference between the two writers is evident. While Ayala appears as a lover of cinema, an enthusiastic fan of the movie theatre show since his childhood, Gil-Albert rebels against the passive condition of the spectator.
