Cinema is one of the best types of art and cinematography is considered to be one of the rare wonders. It has appeared in the end of the 19th century. Cinema is a combination of different types of art: music, theater, literature, painting and else. Every decade has brought something new for the cinema. For example, in the 30-s the main genres were musicals, gangster stories, mute comedies and horror films. The 70-s were the times of political movies and French comedies. The 90-s brought lots of westerns and spy films. Whereas, nowadays, we have so many new genres, among them thrillers, adventure films, underground, science fiction and many others. The first movies were mute and black-and-white. The sound was invented in 1926. Approximately in the 30-s the first colour movie appeared in the USA, and in the 60-s in our country. The most powerful cinematography is in Hollywood, USA. The majority of world famous films were shot there. Cinemas as entertainment have also appeared a long time ago. People have always liked going to the cinema. It was a perfect idea for a date. Besides, cinema was the only place where people could see new films. Today we have all kinds of possibilities. We can watch new movies in the cinema, on TV, on DVDs, online and else. Before the appearance of DVDs, people used to watch films on video tapes, which is now considered to be a bit old-fashioned. Cinema is also a powerful force in contemporary life. Many famous actors and actresses set the fashion, so the society depends on cinema a lot. British and American people are very fond of cinemas. They are considered to be real cinema-goers.
