Introduction
I am a pupil of 7th form. I study many
interesting subjects at school: English, Maths,
Literature, History and others. I try to do all
my best at school. One of my favourite
subjects is English. Also I’m a cinema goer
and I like watching films on TV or video. I
want to improve my English and so I decided
to write an essay about cinema and my favourite actor – Jim Carey.
I think that watching a good film is the best relaxation. It is thought-
provoking and entertaining. Now a growing number of people prefer watching
films on TV to attending cinemas. There are wonderful comedies, love stories,
science fiction, horror films, detective stories, and historical films on. There’s a
variety of films available today. It is difficult to live without cinema. One fact is
clear for everyone: cinema makes our life better. Cinema helps us to forget
different problems. When people watch films, they have a rest. Some films take
people into another world. I think it is a pure world, where usual problems do not
even exist.
Cinema is a great power; it helps us to understand our complex well.
Cinema can leave nobody indifferent. It is so powerful that it provokes complex
feelings. We meet a lot of people. Everyone has his own opinion about something
and like most of us I have my own opinion too, for example, about cinema.
Cinema is a necessary and
important part of my life. It is my
essence, my mode of life and my
happiness. Cinema helps me to cope
with difficulties and with
incorrigible problems.

The History of Cinema
Cinema means the same as pictures and movies. In Greek the world
“kinema” means “movement”. Cinema has been with us for over 100 years. It was
born at the end of the 19-thcentury. On the 28th of December, 1895 the Lumiere
brothers made their first three-minute films which were demonstrated to the public.
Since then a new era has begun – the era of cinematography. It rapidly
spread all over the world was crazy about Charlie. He was created and performed
by the famous English actor and film
director Charles Spenser Chaplin. His
Charlie, small and clumsy yet kind –
hearted, generous and brave, has attracted
the hearts of simple people in different
countries. Sometimes they would stand in
long queues to see a film their favourite
actor. The first films in the West were
mainly melodramas or comedies.
But the moving image has been
around for a lot longer. The magic world of
film comes to life before the visitor’s eyes
at the Museum of Moving Image in
London. Later cinema became the most
popular entertaiment all over the world.
Pioneers of Russian cinema are Protazanov, Gardin, Bauer and, later,
Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko. Their fist films were much alike the films in the
West. But in twenties in Russia they very often were historical films or screen
versions of the best novels. This tradition was successfully continued. Consider the
screen version of Leo Tolstoy «War and Peace»a real masterpiece of cinema.
This version is a recognized masterpiece of Sergey Bondarchuck as a
director all over the world. He was invited by foreign cinematographers to be a

director and producer for battle
scenes in the film «Waterloo». He
managed it excellently! I`ve
watched it not so long ago over
TV. But the «War and Peace» was
made for the screen in the cinema!
When people think of
cinema they often imagine
Hollywood, they probably think of
film stars like Marilyn Monroe, Gary Grant and James Dean. Indeed, there was a
time when Hollywood was the most famous place in the USA, if not the world.
The Hollywood story begins at the end of the last century.
1887. A man called Harvey Wilcox bought a large ranch in a district north-
west of Los Angeles in California. His wife called the land «Hollywood».
1902-1904. The first cinemas («nickelodeons») opened in the USA.
1911. Two brothers from New Jersey build Hollywood`s first film studio.
1912. Film makers from the east coast of the USA came to California, first
in small number and then in thousands.
1912. The Hollywood film industry was born.
In the 1950s and 1960s Hollywood became more international. Famous stars
like Maurice Chevalier from France, Marlene Dietrich from Germany and Sofia
Loren from Italy came to Hollywood. Even today many international stars like
Gerard Depardier and Arnold Schwarzeneger make films in Hollywood.
A big film studio, like MGM or
Warner Brothers, brought to life a lot
film-stars. They could make or break
a star.
The Hollywood studios
produced different types of films.
