The Real Defintion of "KINO"

Kino is a state it is a transcendental sometimes even metaphysical 'instant' of cinema which refuses dialogue or plot for pure emotion or an expression of feeling. A notable example would be this long shot which slowly pans into Batman in Christopher Nolan's 2008 (The Dark Knight) as he stands on a radio mast(55:20) as the music builds a sense of post 9/11 unease into a crescendo. In fact The Dark Knight has another of these moments as Joker hangs out of the police car licking his lips accompanied by a pulsating nihilistic droning, these are the only instances of Kino in Capeshit, other instances of Kino in modern cinema include, but are not limited by:
>The scene in No Country for Old Men where Chigurh crosses a bridge and shoots a single bird
>The ENTIRE 'Lacrimosa' sequence in The Tree of Life
>The opening scene of The Revenant
>The opening sequence of There Will be Blood
>Samsara
Attempts of 'Pseudo-Kino' (far more likely to be referred to as 'Pretend-Cinema) are few are far between but occur more often than people expect examples include, but are not limited to:
>The Stock Exchange sequence in The Dark Knight Rises
>Superman's funeral scene in Batman v Superman
>The ENTIRETY of Nicholas Refn's Drive
>Macbeth (2015)
>Mad Max: Fury Road
The only reason I'm talking about this is because I'm a tad annoyed at /tv/'s irreverent and patently inauthentic use of the term to perpetuate meme culture when there are notable and valid uses of the term which in educating yourself to such I believe will greatly progress in depth cinematic discussion on this board.
Cheers.
