walter benjamin questions

my first question is from section 8. benjamin is giving an example of how the audience identifies with the actor through what the camera portrays. in this paragraph is he trying to show an example of exhibition value which he mentioned earlier, but i felt he never really explained?

my second question is from the epilogue. i understood the whole reading pretty well, but the epilogue really confused me. i don't understand how he relates facism to reproduction and the other things in the reading. so i guess my question is, how does fascism relate to the reading?
