I really enjoyed reading this section about the evolution of Hollywood and motion pictures. It's interesting to read about society's reactions to them during the different decades of the twentieth century when they first appeared. The movie industry was always affected by some event that was happening in the world or the United States including the depression, World War II, communism, and Vietnam war. At the time of World War II, President Roosevelt wanted the movies to try to help win the war and to ban the codes that were being put on the movies to explain and describe the war and all that was involved with it. So even if some think historical films do not always depict events in the most realistic or accurate ways, they always have a role to play in American Society -Amy V. | I really enjoyed reading this section about the evolution of Hollywood and motion pictures.

| + | It was very interesting to see the progression of the film industry at it's earliest stages until what we know of today. I think understanding the beginning of it can help understand why and how it is now. The connections are more evident when you think of how newspapers and radios were the main form of mass communication 100 years ago. I guess when you think of the growth of the United States, films begin to make a whole lot of sense! - Victoria Y. | ||
