Some Facts from the History of Hollywood
People remember “The Birth of a Nation” as one of the most famous Hollywood silent films. They first showed it in 1915 and it took nearly three hours. The film was about American history. A lot of people who had never been inside a cinema before saw this film.
The Golden Age of Cinema began with the talkies — when the actors in the film were able to talk. In 1927 A1 Jolson, the Russian-born Hollywood actor and singer, said a few words and sang six songs in the film “The Jazz Singer”. The public loved him.
In 1932 they introduced a new camera which could make colour films for the cinemas. Soon big audiences enjoyed colour films.
One of the most popular films of all times was probably the colour film “Gone with the Wind”. The audiences first saw it in 1939. The film won eight Oscars. They still show this legendary film in cinemas and on television all over the world.
Cinema uses special effects when it is too difficult or dangerous to do something in the usual way. A good example is the popular film “Jurassic Park” (1993).
The big dinosaurs in the film were not real, of course! They made lots of models of each of them. Today, they use computers more and more in special effects.
In some cinemas which people call IMAX DOME theatres they use a big, 30 metre screen, and put the audience right in the centre of everything that is happening in the film.
