HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood, in California in America, is the film centre of the world. You can visit the film studios
there, and see the houses of famous film stars. They look fantastic among the
palm-trees.
In Hollywood in the 1900s the first films were interesting adventures (приключения),
funny comedies and love stories. Were they different from the films of today?
Yes – they were black and white, and there was no sound! These films were very
popular and many people went to the cinema. Charlie Chaplin was a very famous
film star of those times and today we keep smiling and laughing when he is on
the screen.
In the 1920s film
directors started to make “talking” films and the cinema became more popular.
The first news films (кинохроника)
and documentaries were interesting and people liked them a lot. At those times
cowboy films became very popular too. Lots of American boys and girls loved the
characters of the cowboy films because all cowboys and cowgirls could ride
horses, fire the guns (ружья), they were very
brave and strong.
In Hollywood today directors make many different kinds of films. The most popular films now
are cartoons and science fiction films. When directors make these films, they
can use many special effects. For example, in the film “Who framed (подставил)
Roger Rabbit?” there was a cartoon rabbit and a real actor. With special
effects the films are more exciting (волнующие,
захватывающие)
and sometimes more frightening (страшные).
Today directors make cartoons with the help of computers. They are new and
children watch them with great interest. For example, “Flick” and “Ants”.
