Hello! Long time no see
this blog. Today I’m going to introduce you about this book. The title is “Hollywood”
of FACTFILES. This tells us the history of Hollywood like how to make Hollywood,
which movie is first, who is the most popular actor in each time, and so on.
First, I will tell you this outline.
Every year millions of
people come from all over the world and look up at the famous sign “HOLLYWOOD”.
Why do they come there? Hollywood is a famous and special place. A lot of
people come to see the hand and foot prints outside Grauman’s Chanese Theatre.
After visiting there, they go to Universal Studuios, and perhaps to see a movie
star or two. Most of all, they come to be in the most famous place in movie
history.
The first half of this
story tell us the history of movie. The story of the moving picture began in
the nineteenth century because a number of different invention appeared.
Eadweard Muybridge made a moving picture of horse in Palo Alto. This is first
movie. Of course, audiences couldn’t listen any voices. This was called “Kinetograph”
and the “Kinetoscope”. However there were a big moving picture camera and the
Kinescope projected the moving picture in a box, so only one person at a time
could watch these pictures. The movie invention gradually improved and the showing
time became long. At last, in 1923 the short movie which have voices and sounds
was made.
Speaking of Hollywood, I
remember some actors and actresses. This book say that the most popular actor
in a long line of Hollywood actors is Charlie Chaplin. HE arrived Hollywood in
spring of 1913and his film Making a
Living came out in 1914. He was not only an actor but also he wrote stories
and music for films, and he was a director! His sense of existence was soooo
big! He was a first star of Hollywood.
Like this, this book tells
readers some interesting story, so I wasn’t bored about reading this book. If
you like watching movie, you should know this history, and I’m sure that you
like this book too.
