DISCUSSION: The main point is the author’s opinion on screening early nonfiction films together: he thinks it’s a bad idea since the original intention isn’t to show them together.
___________
- CORRECT. The passage’s main idea is that showing early nonfiction films together goes against the film’s original intentions and thus is a bad idea.
- Exhibiting paintings was brought up in the first paragraph as an analogy, and isn’t the passage’s main point.
- We’re not concerned with whether or not the films received the critical recognition they deserve.
- The artistic goals of early nonfiction films vs. contemporary cinema aren’t addressed.
- Authentic restorations are mentioned in the last paragraph when the author criticizes the inauthentic way films are exhibited. But it isn’t the main point.
