    Cinema plays an important role in society as an accessible form of popular art and entertainment. It has evolved over a hundred years from early silent films to the blockbuster films of today.

    Cinema

    Cinema plays an important role in the life of any society. It is an available popular form of art. Lots of
    people find going to the cinema one of the best ways of spending their leisure time.  No matter how large
    the place you live in ,there's most likely to be a cinema there.
    The history of film spans over a hundred years, from the latter part of the 19th century to the present day.

    The Lumiere Cinematograph allowed large audiences to watch 'moving pictures'. Its
    debut took place on 28 December 1895 in a Paris cafe. That day Louis and Auguste
    Lumiere showed several short films. They were all documentaries and one of them
    was called “Arrival of Train at Station”. By 1905 movie-making wasn't just an
    interesting idea – it was a successful new industry. And by 1915 it was an industry
    with a capital – Hollywood, USA.
    While World War I was fought in Europe, and for several years after, these cinema
    pioneers made thousands of black and white films – comedies, tragedies, fantasies,
    romances and historical dramas. This was 'the silent era' – the era of Charlie Chaplin,
    Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Douglas Fairbanks and Buster Keaton. It was called
    'silent' because there was no recorded sound. Instead, the actors' dialogue appeared on
    cards shown every 15 or 20 seconds.
    A revolution was coming, and its name was The Talkies
    Recorded sound ended the silent era in 1927. That's when Al Jolson both spoke and
    sang in 'The Jazz Singer'.
    In 1932 Technicolor arrived. The next 20 years are often called Hollywood's 'golden
    age'. In the ’30s and ’40s millions queued every week to see films produced by the
    top studios. These included Paramount, RKO, Warner Brothers and most successful
    of all – Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
    Pioneers of Ukrainian cinema of the beginning of 1900th years preferred the screen
    versions of popular Ukrainian performances “Natalka Poltavka” , “Soldier-magician”
    and “Servant”. Then the attempt to create films on the Ukrainian historical theme, as
    well as on the theatrical basis (“Bogdan Khmelnitsky” under Michael Staritsky’s
    play) took place. Kyiv film studio of A. Dovzhenko – one of the largest and the most
    modern in the world for that time. Now in Ukraine there are screen versions of
    classical creations of the national literature –“Taras Traysilo”, “Nikolay Dzherya",
    “Borislav is laughing”. In Odessa the shoots of many films which were put by
    Moscow film directors were held. Sergey Eisenstein's film “the Battleship
    Potyomkin”. “Prometey”, “Zaporizhzhian Cossack beyond Danube” performed by
    Ivan Kavaleridze. Special role in Ukrainian motion picture formation was played by
    the films of A.Dovzhenko “Zvenigora”, “Arsenal”, “The Earth”. It is also interesting
    that Dovzhenko who was in the numbers of UNR Army, then made the film
    “Arsenal” “From the Other Side”.There were films which have the great spectator
    success till now: “The Spring in Zarechnaya Street»” (directors Marlen Hutsiev and
    Felix Mironer), “The Thirst” ( Evgeniy Tashkov), “For two hares” ( director Victor
    Ivanov). Ukrainian cinema of 1960-70th years is presented by the names of the world
    size: directors Sergey Paradzhanov, Yury Ilenko, Leonid Osyka, Nikolay
    Mashchenko, actors Ivan Mikolaychuk, Yury Shumsky, Gnat Yura, Konstantin
    Stepankov, Nikolay Grinko, Bogdan Stupka.
    The Best Ukrainian Movies are Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors and Brothers, the
    Final Confession by Serhij Paradzhanov, The Guide by Oles Sanin, Maidan by Serhij
    Loznytsia.
    The main genres are the western, crime (gangster), horror, the musical, science
    fiction and comedy. Other genre categories include action/adventure, thrillers epics
    (costume dramas), war movies, and the women’s picture (melodrama).

    The most popular world fastival are the Berlin Film Festival(“Mug” Malgorzata
    Szumowska, “The heiresses” Marcelo Martinessi), the Moscow Film Festival(“War
    and Peace” Sergey Bondarchuk, “Mimino“ George Danelia), San francisco film
    festival(“Last train home” Lixin Fan “Crime After Crime” Yoav Potash  ), Venice
    Film Festival(“Foxtrot”Samuel Maoz, „Paradise“ Andrei Konchalovsky).

    My favourite actress is Sandra Annette Bullock /ˈbʊlək/. She achieved success in


    the following films: “Miss Congeniality”, The Proposal and “Ocean’s”. She was
    awarded the Academy Award for Best Actressand the Golden Globe Award for Best
    Actress in a Drama for playing a Leading role in the biographical drama “The Blind
    Side”, and was nominated in the same categories for her performance in the thriller”
    Gravety”.
