Question

Cinema is the largest entertainment industry the world has ever known. It has

provided romance and escapism for millions of people all over the globe since its very

beginning. The movies offered a panacea in the years of the Great Depression in the US;

were the opium of the people through World War II. It was Hollywood, California,

known as “the Dream Factory”, which eventually supplied most of "the stuff that

dreams are made of".

However, although Hollywood has dominated the worldwide film industry for

almost a century, it is not the only "player" in a truly global market. What makes cinema

the most international of the arts is the vast range of movies that come from more than

50 countries. More and more countries, long ignored as film-making nations, have

produced films that have entered the international consciousness.

Certainly in the last few decades, creative cinema has spread from the US and

Europe to Central and Eastern Asia, and to the developing world -the most amazing

example of which is Iran. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea have produced films

of spectacular visual quality as well as absorbing content. There has also been a long

revival of cinema in Spain and the Latin American countries.

In the last decade of the 20th century, computer-generated imagery (CGI)

explored new ways of expression on the big screen, while digital cameras enabled more

people to make features than ever before. With the emergence of videos and DVDs, and

the downloading of movies from the Internet, films can be viewed in a variety of ways.

Yet, whatever technical advances have been made it is the intrinsic quality of the film -

the direction, the screenplay, the cinematography and the acting -that continues to

provoke and delight audiences. (1. Retire do texto em inglês 4 grupos nominais
