The aesthetic impact of a narrative film can be measured by electing information from the spectator about how much he/she has enjoyed it. But the latter depends on the extent of pleasures derived by the spectator from the beauty of the discourse of its sensory stimuli emanated from the screen for impinging on his sense organs from the beauty of the discourses of its actions and events and their logical and dramatic forms and also on the extent of pleasures derived by the spectator from the beauty of the discourse of its surface and deeper level of meaning. But it is also true that the spectator's experiential cognitive and affective impact of all those discourses are conditioned on his past exposures to such discursive stimuli and their consequent past cognitive and affective responses. But as the latter are dissimilar and different from spectator to spectator due to their different kinds and degrees of ideological orientation inter spectator variation to such discursive stimuli would also be markedly visible for all kinds of narrative films. This fact calls forth the need for adoption of a statistical and O.R. strategy which would be empowered to manipulate ideologically conditioned spectator's response by suggesting means for controlling ideological orientation of the stimuli by investing them with different kinds and degrees of codedness. 204 pp.…
