                                    “THE ROOTS OF CINEMA”

 

 

It may be said that the birthday of cinema was on the 28^th of December 1895 at the

“ Grand Café” in Paris. Louis Lumier had used some ideas of the great American inventor Thomas Edison and showed the first film of moving photos. Louis was the owner of one of the largest factories producing photographic materials in Europe. So he was rich enough to exploit his invention. Lumier named it cinematograph. Cinema or movies appeared in the USA in 1898. And it was the integral part of the American culture throughout the twentieth century. But the real birth of American cinema was in 1908 when “ Patent Cinema Company” was formed. It included 8 cinema-making firms. They were located in “Hollywood”.  It is the name of a Los Angeles district and the symbol of American cinema art. The 20s were the great era of  the silent film with stars like Rudolph Valentino, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton . Unknown actors could became famous in a day, poor people became rich all a sudden and Hollywood became the “town where all dreams come true.”
