In
1927 rise the first movie with sound by Vitaphone:
“The Jazz Singer”, directed by Alan Crosland and
with Al Jolson starring. The
way of making cinema had to be rethought. Actors had to
learn to speak correctly and there were some who saw
their careers finished, because they didn't have a voice
that combined with themselves or because it was
ridiculous or unpleasant. An example was one of the
biggest stars til the time, Mary Pickford. The
crash of New York Wall Street in 1929 and the beginning
of Great Depression had their influence transforming
cinema in an escape to quotidian problems to many
americans. Hollywood dedicate to make movies with
several genres like, fantasy, comedy, musical and
terror. This time was perfect to the birth of several directors like Frank Capra (It's a wonderful life, 1946), John Ford (Fort Apache, 1948), George Cukor (The philadelphia story, 1940), Josef von Sternberg (The blue angel/Der Blaue Engel, 1930), Orson Welles (Citizen Kane 1941) and Hitchcock (The man who knew too much, 1934).
There were also some new actors like Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Claudette Colbert, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, and Humphrey Bogart who became miths.
In
1935 is launched the movie “Beauty”, by the north
american Rouben Mamoulian, first colored movie using
technicolor process. In
Europe, countries with totalitary governments point
their cinematographie to politic publicity with movies
that lose in artistic quality. In URSS there is an
exception with S. M. Eisenstein with films like
“Terrible Ivan”(1945). The
beginning of World War second, the national publicity,
the war documentarys became the more produced. |
