There is no such person today on earth, probably,who would not know what Hollywood is. Everyone will tell in every possible detail about the colossal film factory, where the largest number of films in the world are filmed and filmed at the time. However, there are hardly any people, even those who live there, who know what Hollywood is, in full.
The place where the brightest stars of Hollywood live,where you can meet Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt or Kevin Costner right on the street, has existed for a very long time, since the first conquerors - the Spaniards, persecutors of the aborigines. After the liberation of the territories from the Indians, there were two ranches, greenhouses and fields with various crops: even pineapples and bananas were grown, as well as grain and maize. What is Hollywood of the nineteenth century? This is farming.
In 1886, both ranches acquired one master andthe name that exists to this day. On the united ranch, there were apartment houses where housing was rented or sold, so gradually streets and boulevards were formed. On the main street, naturally, the houses were more prestigious, tall and spacious. The owners of the ranch turned out to be patrons of art, they created and supported libraries, schools, churches. Hollywood flourished already by the beginning of the twentieth century.
One disadvantage of the city is the lack of drinking waterwater, only because of this he was not destined to live apart, from Los Angeles Hollywood depended very much. The first western film about cowboys was filmed here in 1911, as old taverns in the picturesque streets of the city kept the spirit of the old Wild West. That's when the world first heard what Hollywood is. The climate and a certain bohemian atmosphere in the relations between the residents contributed very much to the birth of the cinematic capital.
Since the release of the first film, not a decade has passed,as the city was filled to the brim with restaurants and banks, clubs and theaters. The film industry began its rapid development. Housing quickly divided into a respectable, where Hollywood stars lived (directing and acting), and ancillary - for employees of the service. The central part of the city was lined up and re-established, this area ceased to be residential. The buildings were transferred to the aegis of cinematographic commerce.
So, according to Charlie Chaplin, with whom they can notto compare even the most famous actors of Hollywood, the men of the brightest talents and the most exceptional appearance, this factory makes movies only after making money. People from all over the world wanted to walk at least on these pavements, where their idols walked, and every girl in the depths of her soul was sure that she would definitely become a star. Actresses of Hollywood dictated fashion to the whole world, not only how to dress, but also how to look, sigh, play with their eyes - they were truly elegant bitch, according to Ilya Ilf, who visited Hollywood.
The famous Soviet writer asked for forgiveness forthe word "bitch", but in the same apology he added ten more words, for which he had to apologize. Actors of Hollywood from actresses did not lag behind in the fashion laws, all boys wanted to become as courageous and rich, also thoughtfully dressed and by all means to throw money. In the ratings of the kinrod was in solidarity with the previous ones and Berthold Brecht, saying that he earns money by selling in Hollywood lies.
Gold rush to the beginning of the twentieth century is alreadythe money was almost exhausted, and the whole of California became practically a backwater in relation to industrial centers. Cinematography again raised this state to a height, perhaps even greater. Hollywood movies are easy to shoot and profitable, because there is no need to go far - even from the subject matter this does not depend, because nature in California is the most diverse from the geographical point of view. Everything is close: the sea, mountains, beautiful canyons, dense forests, scorching desert.
Here, on this small patch of territory, you canto take pictures of landscapes of any continent of the earth, even maps corresponding exist - which locality best corresponds to this or that corner of the planet. In addition, the film, lighting equipment and their quality in the early years of the development of cinematography left much to be desired. Shooted only in the sunlight. With the sun in California in general there are no problems, in these places the number of sunny days is one of the most significant in the world. Money flowed into the city, and with them appeared in huge numbers, both women and men of Hollywood (for their fees). Rapidly lined with elite mansions for the stars, and the city ascended in its glory.
Attentive movie fans have long noticed that alreadymany decades in a row for a good Hollywood film instantly, like mushrooms after a warm rain, there are on the screens of dozens and hundreds of movie clones on the same subject, with the same special effects. That is promoted by the rules that all American directors, even the most eminent ones, are compelled to observe.
1. Profit. The movie is shot purely for her, and not because I want art and a trembling approach to it.
2. People like it.Sometimes the film is frank squalor, where there is no coherent plot, but it is spectacular - many explosions, blood, sex, humor and so on. For such qualities, the people usually ask for supplements.
Too gloomy films - for an amateur, which is not somany (see the first point). The association insists on the presence of jokes in the film, even if they are low-grade and out of place: for a half-hour of the duration of each picture, the director is simply obliged to insert at least a few pieces, and he resents behind the scenes.
And the filmmaker will not provide humor - hirewill not receive. The viewer for this reason easily determines the genre identity: there are absurd falls in the picture, fallen pants or loudly released gases - this means a comedy. If all this is missing - it means drama.
Continuation of the film - the trouble of Hollywoodcinematography. If you suddenly managed to make a cash picture, you can foresee a hundred percent true that it will follow. Very rarely, the second and subsequent parts of the same film (like books) are obtained in accordance with the quality of the previous one. It's just again the first point - to fill the pockets on the viewer's interest.
There are exceptions:sequels "Back to the Future", "Godfather". But an example of failure: "Alone at home." And many more. There are films that do not fit the story into one series, so the material is divided into several. There are quite a lot of wonderful works: "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings" - where the subsequent series can be even better than the first. The prequel is the prehistory. Recently, they have become very popular, because they are profitable. There are incidents when good directors shoot the first sequel to the same picture, and after a while prequel, as happened with the famous "Star Wars".
The latter term denotes a branch.For example, in the canon, the secondary heroes of the main movie in the spin-off are becoming the main ones. Very lucrative genre, and therefore popular. A remake is a new version of the old picture. It is also used often, but the viewer usually likes the first option. The old story with the new (and often not the best) performers is usually annoying, like the day before yesterday's heated food.
To screen in Hollywood everything can decisively -from the comic book to the phone book. Ordinary art books the directors of Hollywood, apparently, do not like to read. Read the writers. And it's not a fact. The main thing is again the first point, for which you need to properly indulge the target audience. Removed "unnecessary" storylines, jokes are inserted. The same "Harry Potter" - a great example. In the book - a fairy tale, in Hollywood - a typical action movie with jokes. Here in the horror genre there are positive examples: Stephen King is usually screened correctly.
In Hollywood, in order to celebrate the newstar, there is the Alley of Glory. In 1958, at once eight new stars were laid at a time, while without an individual ceremony. In 1960 Alley passed an innovation course, and along with the stars of Ronald Coleman, Olivia Borden, Preston Foster, Luis Fazenda, Edward Sedgwick, Bert Lancaster, Ernest Torrens, others appeared. The first to join them were the names of Stanley Kramer and Joan Woodwart.
The stars on the Alley also have their own categories.All five different stars managed to earn Gene Autry. In four categories, four people were noted. Three stars have women - Gail Storm, Dinah Shore, Marie Wilson, Jane Froman and Joe Stafford, the other twenty-five are male actors. Charlie Chaplin is the only genius, not present on the Walk of Fame, although he was twice nominated: leftist convictions and communist views failed. Also have their stars here are two US presidents - Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
Actresses of Hollywood in the majority shinean extraordinary appearance, a vivid femininity, and in each hides some mystery. The actress, with whom Hollywood began, is Elizabeth Taylor, the first film queen. Made the refined style of the bygone era eternal: Greta Garbo, Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh - did not look like their predecessors, and none of the followers could ever compare with them.
And now, reviewing the movies with actress NicoleKidman, many viewers are surprised how such a huge soul and such an inexpressible talent nest in this amazing puppet shell. Well, the symbol of all and all the femininity of the world - Marilyn Monroe, a phenomenon that will always fascinate and amaze. And yet - Demi Moore, Kim Bessinger, Julia Roberts ... Do not list all the names of icons, before which for centuries the praying girls will pray.
