Article: History of hollywood film instry
The first movie studio in the Hollywood area, Nestor Studios, was founded in 1911 by Al Christie for David Horsley in an old building on the northwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. In the same year, another fifteen Independents settled in Hollywood. Hollywood came to be so strongly associated with the film instry that the word "Hollywood" came to be used colloquially to refer to the entire instry.
In 1913, Cecil B. DeMille, in association with Jesse Lasky, leased a barn with studio facilities on the southeast corner of Selma and Vine Streets from the Burns and Revier Studio and Laboratory, which had been established there. DeMille then began proction of The Squaw Man (1914). It became known as the Lasky-DeMille Barn and is currently the location of the Hollywood Heritage Museum.
The Charlie Chaplin Studios, on the northeast corner of La Brea and De Longpre Avenues just south of Sunset Boulevard, was built in 1917. It has had many owners after 1953, including Kling Studios, who proced the Superman TV series with George Reeves; Red Skelton, who used the sound stages for his CBS TV variety show; and CBS, who filmed the TV series Perry Mason with Raymond Burr there. It has also been owned by Herb Alpert's A&M Records and Tijuana Brass Enterprises. It is currently The Jim Henson Company, home of the Muppets. In 1969, The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board named the studio a historical cultural monument.
The famous Hollywood sign originally read "Hollywoodland." It was erected in 1923 to advertise a new housing development in the hills above Hollywood. For several years the sign was left to deteriorate. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce stepped in and offered to remove the last four letters and repair the rest.
The sign, located at the top of Mount Lee, is now a registered trademark and cannot be used without the permission of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which also manages the venerable Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Sign as it appears today.The first Academy Awards presentation ceremony took place on May 16, 1929 ring a banquet held in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. Tickets were USD $10.00 and there were 250 people in attendance.
From about 1930, five major Hollywood movie studios from all over the Los Angeles area, Paramount, RKO, 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros., owned large, grand theaters throughout the country for the exhibition of their movies. The period between the years 1927 (the effective end of the silent era) to 1948 is considered the age of the "Hollywood studio system", or, in a more common term, the Golden Age of Hollywood. In a landmark 1948 court decision, the Supreme Court ruled that movie studios could not own theaters and play only the movies of their studio and movie stars, thus an era of Hollywood history had unofficially ended. By the mid-1950s, when television proved a profitable enterprise that was here to stay, movie studios started also being used for the proction of programming in that medium, which is still the norm today.
Ⅱ 求討論電影《刮痧》中文化差異的畢業論文
從《刮痧》看中西方文化差異
電影《刮痧》講述的是一個在美國生活了八年的中國家庭，因為孩子的一次意外發燒，剛來美國，不懂英文的爺爺用了中國傳統的刮痧治療方法為小孫子治病，但在醫院里被護士發現了因刮痧而留下的血痕，懷疑是其家人虐待孩子所致。於是，兒童福利院便把孩子的父親許大同告上了法庭，在法庭上，許大同因為無法解析刮痧是中國的一種傳統治療法，又因為律師的曲意刁難，許大同最終被判決與孩子隔離，並且搞得失去了工作、朋友和與妻子分居，幸虧許大同的朋友去了一趟中國，知道了刮痧是一種治療方法，為其作證，故事也就有了完滿結局。許大同一家在美國的遭遇，在很大程度上反映了華人在外國生活的種種不適，而這些不適很大程度上是由於中西文化的差異造成的，隨之而來的必然有隔閡，對立與沖突。首先是醫學領域的認識差異。刮痧是故事沖突引發的導火索，刮痧療法在中國民間很常見，是中醫的一種治療方法，確實能夠治癒一些常見病。但是，這種療法搬到美國，就成了大同對孩子施以暴力的罪證。二是法律觀念的不同。在西方社會里，法律存在於每一個角落，每一種糾紛都通過法律途徑來解決，而每一件事實都是要講求證據的。如美國的法庭及兒童福利院雖被大同的滿腔激情，真摯而忘情的訴說所震懾，卻仍要求有「愛的證據」，以供法庭判決。而中國人比較看重的是人情冷暖，尤其是對於親情特別看重。三是對尊重的理解不同。在故事開頭，許大同因為自己的兒子沒有向老闆的兒子道歉，便用手打了自己兒子一下，老闆看了覺得不可思議，許大同對約翰解釋這一舉動說：「我為什麼打我兒子，那是出於我對你的尊重，那是我給你面子。」這樣的解釋讓這個典型的西方人迷惑不已，他並不知道眼前這個東方小夥子的這一耳光竟然是出於這樣的邏輯，作為西方人的約翰，他是無法理解這個東方爸爸打他兒子時的那種復雜心情的，他只知道，打人是違法的，這是對人權的不尊重。這兩種截然不同的觀念，說明這樣一個道理：由不同國家和不同民族文化背景形成的觀念上的差異，在相互交織、碰撞中必然發生尖銳的沖突。四是對愛，對家庭的理解的差別。這也是《刮痧》中沖突的本質所在。許大同對付美國社會的生活和工作都游刃有餘，這並不意味著他在成長中濡染的中國傳統文化觀念就已經煙消雲散。在許大同的心裡，家庭也是他的精神支柱。他所做的一切，都是為了這個家的幸福與團圓。三世同堂，其樂融融，是他奮斗的動力和意義所在。為了爺爺能在美國拿到綠卡，他還把給孩子刮痧這事稱是自己刮的；為了兒子能回家寧願分居；為了爺爺能看一眼孫子，偷偷把兒子從福利院了帶出來；在法庭上，許大同愛子心切，甚至和對方辯護打了起來；為了給孩子送聖誕禮物，不顧危險爬到九層，完全有可能「墜樓而亡」…… 愛就是付出和負責任，可能會表現為嚴厲，表現為分居，甚至表現為欺騙，表現為劫持……正是這種愛把孩子和父親以及這個家和二為一體，這種愛超越了其自己的尊嚴，平等，自由和選擇自身幸福的權利。 而在西方人眼裡這些都是不可思議的，甚至是犯法的！這部《刮痧》，讓我們意識到了中西方文化差異是如此之大，若不在了解雙方的文化前提下，引出的問題確實令人頭疼。看來世界的大同文化要經歷長時間的碰撞，相互交織，尖銳的沖突，磨合，才能融合與發展的。

Ⅳ 英語畢業論文--寫一篇有關電影評論的文章
The Analysis of the Professional Leon(此文是這個殺手不太冷的影評) The Meaning of Life—Hope The Professional Leon which is directed by Luc Besson is an attractive and affecting movie. It is a story about a professional killer and a 14-year-old girl. In my opinion, this film reflects the influence of hope in people』s lives. Life is a magic thing. It is like a thick forest and when we walk through it, we need hope to lead us. Hope can change one』s mind. Hope can change one』s life.The first reason is the change between the settings from the beginning to the end. The film began with the oppressive cityscapes: roads, streets, alleys and then the screen turned dark. They are the characteristics of Film Noir. Besides, the protagonist Leon appeared from a black shot which is a special close-up. In addition, the following shot are fighting in some rooms. The whole beginning leads to a mood of cold and oppression. However, at the end of the film is a scene of orphanage. The sunshine illuminated the trees and the grass. The scene is bright and warm. Then the shot got far and far. This showed that life was going on and the sunshine brought us hope to live. The world turned peace again, and the mood turned soft and cozy. Therefore, the change of the beginning and the end showed the dark had gone and everyone got their hope. In this film, there is a symbol of hope-Leon』s evergreen. It ran through the whole film. The protagonist Leon, at fist, was a typical killer who was skillful and cold. The evergreen for him is the hope of life. It meant Leon』s valuable memory-the girl he loved. Everyday he cleaned the leaves of the evergreen carefully. He thought the evergreen was quiet and happy, so he took care of it as his most valuable thing. Actually, he lived in his memory and what he must protect is the hope-evergreen. For Leon, there was no meaning of the reality until he met the girl –Mathilda. When the girl implored Leon to open the door, he hesitated. Yes, of course. It was because everything would change since he opened the door. Actually, Leon was a simple, kind and attentive man who was not good at express himself. We can know that from watching old movie and ironing clothes. After accepting the girl, Leon chose the responsibility in his heart. His life changed because his hope changed. His living purpose was to protect the girl and revenge on Stan. Furthermore, his good-side was stimulated by the girl』s love. They were interdependent as a special relationship. I fact, Leon was not a killer any more since he met Mathilda. He was a real man. Another hope is reflected by Mathilda』s attitude of life. Mathilda』s family was inharmonious. She couldn』t feel love in this family, so she became unyielding and mature at an early age. She hated her relatives except her little brother. If she didn』t met Leon, her life would be out of imagination. When Leon opened the door, a light shone on Mathilda. This light of life is a symbol of change. Since she lived with Leon, she felt care from Leon, and she fell in love with him. She wanted to be with him forever. The hope of her life is Leon. She took care of their「home」and took care of him. When Leon ordered her go, she was in agony. She knew that she wouldn』t see him again. She was afraid that the hope of life would disappear. At last, she planted the evergreen near the orphanage, and the evergreen became her hope. She got a new view of this world, and she would cherish the memory of Leon who saved her life and soul. This story is a fairy tale of killer. The killer managed to protect his hope as the expanse of his life, whereas he died in comfort. Maybe, there is another dark world concealed near us. However, it is because the shine of hope has not illuminated it. And the meaning of life is the process of seeking hope.
Ⅳ 英語畢業論文 美國電影中文化的透視
用中國人的眼光去刨析美國的文化不是一件簡單的事情,東西方的文化碰撞已經存在幾千年了,美國看似2\3百年的建國史,實際上是歐洲殖民歷史的延續,從歐洲的某個地方到中國時差大約需要8小時,於是便引發了8小時的文化差異,了解了這一點,再結合類型影片和藝術影片這兩個主要的支流或許可以屢出個頭續;至於中國這么一個龐大的國家,我們或許只能用現實主義來LIAOYIZIWEI了...
