Book review 1-8 「THE CINEMA」
Would you often go to the theater? Do you like watching movie? Would you prefer watch movie at home or theater? I think millions of people all over the world still go to the theater although they have TV and DVD player at their house. This book is written about how the movies all begin, and how the movie had grown up.
The first moving pictures were simple “shadow shows” or “shadow plays” and slide glasses. These became very popular in Europe in the 18th century. But 1820, photography was invented and were used instead of the slide glasses. These pictures did not move. In 1890, Edison and Dickson had management to take moving pictures in 1893. The world’s first film studio was built by Edison in New Jersey. In 1911, the first Hollywood studio was built by the Nestor Company. The American film workers came to California because the weather was good, and Californian workers were cheap to employ. From 1913, many movie companies have gathered into Hollywood. For example, UNIVERSAL, 20th FOX, COLUMBIA… Hollywood was a good place to “get into the movies”.
The first movies were silent. And many actors and actresses were a round as a movie star. Charlie Chaplin-one of them was very busy making audiences laugh. The dawn of the golden age of the cinema began with the talkies. From 1920 to 1940, many masterpieces were produced, and they are still kept in our mind, for example, Stage Coach(1939), Anna Christie(1930), and Gone with the wind(1936).
In 1932, the color film was invented and the movie became more popular amusement for people. People have built the movie theater that is called “Picture Palace” and enjoyed it. The Academy Award was born in 1929. So, to flourish of the silver screens has been became lustrous honor.
Now, movie industry is a one of the biggest industry all over the world. And many movie skills are improving more and more. For example, Animation, Computer graphics, Special effect, and Make-up.
We are enjoying watch movies at home. But, TV can’t catch sound, graphic, and power of the movie. Many people are thinking that only place to watch a films a theater. (374words)
