❹ 求英文的電影史

A sense, is an incomplete film history is the history of three-quarters of the film. Who constitute a large number of the nation's precious memory by destroying the image and key and forgotten, into the mainstream of history to write the "missing persons."
I used the "missing persons" and have a al meaning: one sense refers to the physical disappearance of the film (war, political burned, technology, the loss of people, changes in natural conditions, etc.), they are taking time through archaeological , to locate and repair to reproce, in which one of the few substantive breakthroughs; one refers to the sense of writing and rhetoric of the disappearance of (ideological writing film history, history of science rational deviation), which is the largest Chinese film history the "characteristics": This is a been repeatedly torn film history, a number of rare in this kind of preposterous history have surfaced, such as the ghost.
Following these films we will never be able to see some figures that we had never heard of --
Early silent films
From "dingshangjun" began, the Chinese film proction boom continues. To 1926, the National 175 size film company, procing a large number of funny short films, scenes of life films and so on in 1922 is now only one of the "labor of love" (also known as "throwing fruit geo") be retained and become part of our to see the earliest images of China. Around 1927, a grand and spectacular scale of "costume dramas" campaign launched a film of a commercial crisis. Today we see the first one ishouyaodirector in 1927's "Romance of the Western Chamber." Lai Man-wai, who is also the strong financial support of the shooting was a "large" " has also been. 20 era has been an "advocate for the film movement", resulting in a large number of excellent works. Lai Man-wai, studies in recent years, more and more obvious its outstanding contribution to China's film will not only be regarded as "Father of Hong Kong film", but also by critics of the tree as "the father of Chinese film." In Shanghai in 1920 proced "Health" as China's first successful commercial film. Most of these films were lost in the war and the impermanence of things.
"Soft films"
This is a group of beautiful film, which embodies the well-ecated population was the most fun of intellectuals and members of the public pleasure. March 1933, Liu Naou, Mr Lester Jammu and others founded the "Modern Film" magazine, as a modernist writer, they claim, "the film is to the eyes eat ice cream, which are open to the soul of the sofa chairs to sit." They insist on film "film" in nature, the introction of "Anthurium Night," "the embodiment of girl" and "humanitarianism" and "pink dream" and other films. But at the time it was the left-wing critic of the severe criticism, even the mainland later rejected orthodox film history. A long time, they only left-wing films as the family exists, even if these "soft film" part of film criticism in the years to survive, in fact from the film history has been "disappeared." From the present to see a few films, we can feel that these films were well received by European and American mainstream films of the impact of interest, pay attention to the form of skills and a sense of the audience pay attention to the effect. In the film toward the market today, we should re-evaluate the film and even encourage these positive experiences, to re-examine those most familiar with the city's film writer's ideas, to complement our film ecological imbalance. This work should never be re-used and "The Left" In contrast to old ideas.
Early types of videos
Such as "streets", "Long live the Mountain" and other comedy films, some mainstream films ignored the history of the martial arts, the Genie film "hongliansifire" (1928). "Onehouliansifire, 'let the immeasurable number of Jianying, 'out into the martial arts film theater door wall', 3 years, 1 Set 1 Set to continued film continues, as many as 18 sets of and more. "from 1928 to 1931 showing a total of 227 Chinese martial arts film Genie. They definitely was the largest film proction varieties, however, has not made film history in its rightful place. In "the development of Chinese film history", they are as "dross" and was critical. So far, we have never seen the seriousness of their evaluation and analysis. Perhaps, you can look forward to a century of film history major renovation project will consider this matter. Unfortunately, a lot of video it is precisely the disappearance of the former generation of the hands of those who made history. This film history "biblioclast" behavior has not yet been clarified.
the "Confucian movie"
Really have systematically explore in depth the expression of film culturepossibility of noise in that era, probably only one person. Cultural decision temperament, temperament determines form. We tend to over-expressed in the form of stunning him, but ignore that he is trying to become a "movie of Confucianism," the worldly passions. Early in 1948,in another movie of my leisure time 3 months finishing the "Springtime in a Small Town", released after the response is not soon be forgotten. In 1983, the Hong Kong Arts Center and the Hong Kong Film Culture Center organized the "age of 20-40 Chinese Film Retrospective" order "Springtime in a Small Town" heavy drums. Since then, the film become China's film instry recognized classic. One Hundred Years of Film in the world, the film not only was named Chinese Film 90-year, one of 10 classic works, but also by the Hong Kong film critics as the world's hundred years of film history, one of 10 classic. Participation in his life director and procer of 21 films, only the existing 10. By the Center Stage starring "City Night", "Life" and "Xiangxue sea" has been less than a watch, and he shot on the battlefield of the war documentary "North Jingjhong recorded the battlefield" and dedicated it to "gold-plated city", "Hole pedant, "" beautiful rivers and mountains "have been separated. Only the war film "Bounty," starring Mei Chinese first film opera film "Sengsihen" and "Springtime in a Small Town." In 1980, the British Film Institute's warehouse found the "Family" of the pieces, pieces from this period, we can Glimpse into the "movie of Confucianism," a series of works of Vision: gentle, the ideal harmony between man and nature in this life , and this reflects the inherent qualities of elegant form and fun. In the orthodox "history of the development of Chinese films" China, the world attention was a pioneer of Oriental films only a few lines of Gray's comments.
Missionary Movies
A large number of "Gospel director" (many of them are amateur director) filming of "Missionaries of the film", because proction of crude and means of a single, but also e to the lack of attractiveness of commercial films, it is difficult to enter the film historian's perspective. But they record the value, beliefs and values, and even the value of narrative, there are places worthy of study. Many big Hollywood director, in fact, can also be seen as "good news director." Of faith loyalty, devotion to truth, of viewing the effect of extreme importance, it is Hollywood movies from the Gospel learn the outcome of the film. This video focuses on some of Hong Kong and Taiwan, also had a number of major directors, such as Kuan Hsin-hui, such as Xian Qi Ran. And the early Chinese movies, it also uses the film to do good tradition, the most typical is "Chuan Wu Xun," the. Although the film before and after the addition of the occasion's "turned a deaf ear to" article, but the tablets to see is a grassland in Shandong hunchbacked hunchbacked lone in the "Saints" image.
李香蘭and "Young Man" movie
This is a piece of history, "no man's land." As we have referred to large rivers and mountains of the Northeast that year for the puppet "Manchukuo", we do not consider this land of film proction is truly "national cinema." Chinese film history has so far only in the Lee Road, a new book to be involved in these films. August 1937, "Pictures Corporation Manchuria Association" was formally established, referred to as "the full video." It is the puppet "Manchukuo" management filmmakers, distribution and screening of the specialized agencies. Man Ying-proced video is divided into "public entertainment", "Kai Man" and "current" three videos. "Kai Man" film is the direct embodiment of the film thinking of national policy-chip types of the early video shot over the "progress of States", "Concord Youth," "bright Earth" are of such films. In the feature film proction in order to plot a strong, relatively short promotional video-based entertainment. Japan surrendered in 1945, full meal Masahiko Gan Ying-chairman of the suicide, "full video" The ensuing disintegration. "Young Man" in which the existence of 8 years, shooting a total of 108 feature films, ecational films, 189 documentaries. Film part of the information was lost to the former Soviet Union, the Japanese found out bought back after the film, into a 30-episode video tapes, on sale in Japan. After representations to the Japanese side, in May 1995, Japan agreed to give some of the information the Chinese government. "Man-Ying" period is representative ofLiXiangLan, she was born in China of the Japanese, starring the "Man-Ying" period, many of the film, she sang the "Tuberose" has been popular in the South and the North river, was the film instry and music particularly dazzling star. After Japan's defeatLiXiangLan,charged with "crimes traitor," a death sentence, because the identity of the Japanese booklet proved to be recognized. February 1946, was acquitted after the Nationalist government returned to Japan. To resume in 1947, whose real name is Yoshiko Yamaguchi, Japan back to the performing arts sector, and was active in Hollywood.
"The people holding the camera"
In 2003, the China Film Archive in Shicheng found a number of shots in the 20th century era film information 30,40. The video has been finishing as many as 61, all taken in the 20th century on behalf of three to four decades. The videos were recorded in different regions in China, people of different ethnic customs and geography of the humanities and the living conditions of interest. The photographer shot the film is a film record of the pioneers in China - Sun Ming by. He is a film ecation in Chinese universities pioneers, founded China's modern higher ecation in the history of the first film professional, and independent record of 49 shot film, the auspices of the Department proced a record of more than 100 scientific and ecational films and movies, bbed the 66 foreign films, complete video of up to 50,000 feet. However, 50 In the late 20th century, Sun Ming, as the history of the name from the film mysteriously disappeared. He filmed the movie "farmers Spring" in July 23, 1935 held in Brussels, Belgium rural film won the top award at international competition section 3, this is the first Chinese film in the international film festival awards. Unfortunately, the film copies have been lost. In 1998, the first Taiwan International Documentary Biennial display for the first time another documentary from the unknown author Liu Naou by shooting a two-volume documentary "human vol" and "Volume." After several years of efforts, Taiwan Film Archive refresher grandson of Liu Naou Mr. Lin Jianxiang provided documentary Liu Naou 5 volumes, including "human vol", "vol", "Landscape vol", "Guangdong Volume" and "Tokyo Volume . " The first two volumes of a documentary, probably taken in 1933 to 1934. Liu these himself referred to as "holding the camera man" films, the basic content is displayed Liu Naou family life in Taiwan temple grand parade, Fengtian scenery sidelights, ships left the port situation, Guangdong scenery sidelights, the army will such as fuck. Possession of these early documentaries over the years in various Chinese Film Archive of the basement, silence so far.
Experimental film pioneer
China open to any one film history, we can not find apart from the mainstream narrative film other than film types: We have always thinking of the film as a tool for expression and ecation, pure forms of pondering as bourgeois style. Form is the content of this argument which in reality never truly be understood. These films include: the film's U.S. game, civil non-film works experimental works of the artist's image is being "disappeared" of the contemporary independent film (the sixth generation, civil images). At present, only founded in August 2003 in Guangdong Film Archive video collection that these "outside the system" films. However, how the collections, we can not tell, because it is not open to the public.
The above is only able to find some "missing persons" part of the track. Chinese films of the damage and loss of information, no matter how immeasurable not be overemphasized. At present, China Film Archive collection of Chinese and foreign film near 25,000, of which the previous 1949 film collection is rich in an era that proced 15% (less than 400). Most of the early films were destroyed in the war either, or the loss of civil society, and ultimately disappeared, or simply is the "destruction" or "possession of silencers," the. For those survivors, if not timely protection, probably also inevitable "disappearance" of the fate - most precious film storage life is already in a critical state, flammable, faded, such as preservation of technical problems has not been cooking. Advanced foreign technology had not been extended to film restoration.
In recent years, the Film Archive has become "the missing person was found" major "field": This shows that in the physical sense, a lot of videos and have never left from our perspective, we are still treated as some closely-guarded secret of the name and age Like used to years of time to wait for them go away, so, in the grand narrative of history, the difficult to see their names. This is a humiliation. Humiliation is not the parties, but our children and grandchildren of these unscrupulous humiliation. Film is such a perishable and fragile lives. Of the above "does not exist in the movie" The concern, in fact, is the respect of video memory. After all, they in a generation, a group of people, and even a person's life to live existed. One day, we can finally be forgotten ring this time "to reproce."

關於美國電影
長期以來，美國只把電影看作是娛樂手段，把好萊塢當成生產故事和幻想的工廠，因此首先注意影片的商業價值。但是，70年代前後，美國電影學術研究有了很大的發展。1967年，在華盛頓和洛杉磯兩地成立了美國電影研究院（AFI）。電影資料館遍布全美，其中重要的有紐約現代藝術博物館、羅切斯特的伊斯曼電影數據館、華盛頓國會圖書館、伯克利太平洋電影資料館等。8大影片公司於60年代先後解體或轉產之後，影片和檔案大量捐贈給上述資料館和各大學的電影研究中心，對研究本國電影傳統、保護本國電影文物起著很大作用。

二十世紀的好萊塢：到1900年，好萊塢已經有一間郵局、一張報紙、一座旅館和兩個市場，其居民數為500人。10萬人口的洛杉磯位於市東11公里處。在好萊塢和洛杉磯間只有一條單軌的有軌電車。1902年，今天著名的好萊塢酒店的第一部分開業。1903年，此地升格為市，參加投票的177位有選舉權的居民一致贊同以「好萊塢」為之命名。當年下的兩條命令是：除葯店外其他商店禁酒，及不準在街上驅趕數量多於200的牛群。1904年，一條新的被稱為好萊塢大街的有軌電車開業，使好萊塢與洛杉磯間的往返時間大大縮短。1910年，好萊塢的居民投票決定加入洛杉磯。原因是這樣他們可以通過洛杉磯取得足夠的飲水和獲得排水設施。
1907年，導演弗朗西斯·伯格斯帶領他的攝制組來到洛杉磯，拍攝《基督山伯爵》。他們發現，這里明媚的自然風光、充足的光線和適宜的氣候是拍攝電影的天然場所。1910年代初，導演大衛·格里菲斯被Biograph公司派到西海岸來拍電影，他帶著麗蓮·吉許、瑪麗·璧克馥等演員來到了洛杉磯。他們後來想尋找一塊新的地盤，於是向北出發，來到了一個熱情的小鎮，那就是好萊塢。Biograph公司發現此地條件不錯，於是在回紐約前又陸續拍了好幾部電影。漸漸許多業內人士都知道了這塊寶地，到好萊塢的電影劇組越來越多，美國電影業移師好萊塢的大轉移開始，好萊塢向成為電影之都邁進。
1911年10月，一批從新澤西來的電影工作者在當地以為攝影師的帶領下，來到一家叫布朗杜的小客棧，他們將租到的客棧改裝成一家電影公司的樣子。這樣，他們創建了好萊塢的第一家電影製片廠——內斯特影片公司。
從那以後，許多電影公司在好萊塢落戶，著名的電影公司有：米高梅電影公司（Metro Goldwyn Mayer，簡稱MGM）、派拉蒙影業公司（Paramount Pictures, Inc.）、二十世紀福克斯公司（20th Century Fox）、華納兄弟公司（Warner Brothers）、雷電華公司（Radio Keith Orpheum，簡稱RKO）、環球公司（Universal）、聯美公司（United Artists）、哥倫比亞影業公司（Columbia Pictures）。
