ABSTRACT
The same value that is acknowledged today regarding cinema as a didactic tool also demonstrates how much it should be feared as a means of perversion for the minds of the young and susceptible. And, if we turn our minds to reflect on the enormous disproportion that, at present, exists between films on educational subjects and those with supernatural, dramatic, or sensational themes, we come to the unhappy conclusion that, if we were to place on either side of a weighing scale the good and the bad that have been brought about up until now by this wonderful invention, the scale would plummet to the side of the bad.
