This article was extremely hard to understand and I got a little bored reading it. I did my best to summarize it. This is basically what I understood. In Esther Leslie’s essay, she states that Walter Benjamin thought that film is a place where there “arises a new region of consciousness” through which people get to grips with the ugly hopeless world, comprehensively, meaningfully and passionately.

Ultimately, the particular photograph or film sequence is an extraction of a moment in time. The optical unconscious is a way of seeing. Optical unconscious is the way of seeing what the human eye cannot.
