their jobs and struggled to live a decent life. The Great Depression hit people hard which resulted in people turning to movie theaters to dream of a better life and forget about their problems outside of the movie theater. Studios such as MGM, Warner Bros, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, and RKO created movies, shorts, and B-movies to distract everyday people from their tough life at home. The movies, actors, and directors that were presented in 1939 are what made the year so remarkable.…
Most people would agree that Steven Spielberg is a talented film director who has made some of the greatest,influential, and most iconic films of the past few decades. While all that may be true, I have much more to say about him. To me, he is much more than just the average film director, he is like a close friend. Even if I have never met the man in real life, I still feel a strange fondness for him whenever his name gets mentioned in conversation. I love him for reasons like his empathetic…
Exam- Question 1 During the mid to late 1950s, television networks and major film studios were not willing to work one another. There were a number of reasons why these corporations. One early problem for the motion pictures studios attempt to sell films to television was their issue with exhibitioners. Exhibitioners threatened they would boycott studios who sold features to television or studios who moved to telefilm. They were forced to take the threats seriously because the exhibitioner’s…
My familiarity with The Golden Age comes primarily from a film made ca. 1986 by a British company, if I remember correctly. It aired not long after on A&E, back in the days when Stacy Keach hosted its weekly performing arts program, and my homemade VHS tape subsequently got a lot of use. (Well, parts of it, anyway. Mostly the bits with Gediminas Taranda.) By then the ballet’s original Compere, Vladimir Derevianko, had left the USSR, so that part was played by Mikhail Tsivin, but otherwise the…
Within the 1920’s there were new forms of entertainment being created as well as existing forms of entertainment being greatly expanded upon and reinvented which quickly became the norm of entertainment for the public. Movies were being produced very early in the 20’s but had no audio and instead played a song over the film. Movies were helping in educating teens as they provided a whole new way to teach, being a visual aid with moving pictures as opposed to text or audible learning. Due to the…
When I was 8 years old I had asked my dad what some of his favorite movies were. Instead of telling me he handed me a box of movies he had purchased over the years and said I should look through it. After looking through it for a few minutes I had stumbled upon a movie with 2 men standing and staring at the camera, one was holding a gun and they were in a bowling alley. That was the first time I had came in contact with the Big Lebowski. The Big lebowski's comedy and great Characters make it…
Buster Keaton and the decline of the silent film era 1 Silent Films Introduction. The mental image that many people have of a silent film is of a simple, black and white film, perhaps grainy and distorted in image, depicting a time long gone. With modern, dialogue driven narratives in film, it is easy to forget that dialogue is not the only way to drive a story, dialogue does not necessarily need to be spoken out loud in order to be effective, and that many actors had built careers out of…
The new Batman v Superman movie is one that has many fans skeptical. The replacing of Christian Bale with Ben Affleck is a move that could doom this movie from the start. It is not fair to judge a role before the movie is actually seen, but Affleck just does not seem like the king of guy who could pull of playing Batman. LEGO BATMAN IS MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE NEW TRAILER I have watched many movies where the trailer was amazing, but the movie sucked. A lot of the times when this happens, the…
