单选题 Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following
passage. Film is a medium that might have been
especially made for America, a vast country which, by the beginning of the
twentieth century, had a large immigrant population, many of whom could hardly
speak English. These people would have had little use for the theatre, even if
they lived within easy distance of one, or for most of the books they could buy
because they did not have enough English. But themovies--the silent
movies--these they could all understand, so what America had more than any
European country was a huge captive audience, a large proportion of them pretty
well uneducated. And what these people wanted were simple stories in
which, irrespective of the fact they couldn't understand the captions, the
action told all. In feeding the growing demand for screen
entertainment, America was greatly helped by the First World War. Between 1874
and 1918 the making of films was not exactly high on the list of any European
country's priorities. Films continued to be made but not to the same extent as
before, and to fill the gap in foreign imports, America had to increase its Own
production. By the end of the decade, with Hollywood now firmly established as
the center of the industry, America was well on its way to monopolizing the
world market. But if by the beginning of the 1920s America was
the world leader in film production, it was not then—nor has it been since—in
the lead when it came to developing film as an art form. Hollywood is not
interested in art; it is interested in money and the two rarely go together. To
Hollywood film is, and really always has been, and industry. There is nothing
about this attitude that should make us look down on it. Hollywood quickly
recognized film as an entertainment medium with a unique ability to put people
onto seats and money in the pockets of producers, distributors and cinema
managers and, mostly, let it to others to develop its potential as an art
form. Generally speaking, the efforts to extend the boundaries
of film to--show that it could do more than car chases, romance and
clowning--were being made elsewhere. In the 1920s in Germany, for example,
expressionism was an artistic movement which used fihn as a medium.
Expressionism is described in the Oxford Companion to Film as "a movement woes
main aim " was to show in images man's inner world and in particular the
emotions of fear, hatred, love and anxiety. " These days, most serious--and
sometimes not so serious--films attempt to do something like that as a matter of
course. Meanwhile Russian film-makers were developing advanced
techniques in editing and montage—using scenes to give background
information, ideas and intellectual points. Hollywodd was not slow to learn from
its foreign competitors or to take on and adapt their ideas, but with regard to
the style and content of film-making, it was and still is far more in business
of learning than of teaching.
