问答题 《复合题被拆开情况》 Movies are probably the most popular form of entertainment today. Today’s full-length movies began with short motion pictures developed in France in the late 1800s by the Lumifcre brothers. However, the world’s first full-length film, The Story of the Kelly Gang, came from Australia. This silent film, which showed the life of the notorious criminal Ned Kelly, opened at the Melbourne Town Hall on December 26, 1906. It was over an hour long. The film industry has come a long way from its humble beginning, and today millions of dollars are spent producing and advertising movies. Some of the most expensive movies ever produced include Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Titanic, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In comparison, the most expensive Bollywood film ever made, Devdas, cost only $10 million to make. However, when you compare the cost of an older movie with the value of money at the time it was made, Cleopatra remains the most expensive movie ever made. Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra in this film made in 1963. One of the reasons why this movie cost so much money was because Ms. Taylor had 65 different and very expensive costumes in the movie. This movie, if made today, would cost a minimum of $275 million to shoot.
