In the early 1900s all you needed was a projector, a sheet to use as a screen, some chairs, and you’ve got a movie night. The Early movies were pretty weird compared to now, it was silent with funny music, now there’s movies that come at you, literally. There are also some movies that were re-enacted in this generation. The history of film began in the early 1900s and has been changing since.

People went to the movies for thrills and laughter. Audiences especially loved the slapstick comedies produced by Mack Sennett at the Keystone studios in Hollywood beginning in 1912. Famous movie actor Charlie Chaplin got his start at Keystone when Sennett hired him as an actor.

These days the movies are 3D/4D and coming at you. 3D and 4D movies are so advanced technology that they come at you by wearing a type of glasses and has evolved our 21st century. The 1900s it was just a projector and a screen, but the thing that makes early movies so special is no dialogue. You’re probably wondering wait, what? but the funny music and funny actions are what everybody came to watch. Would you rather have to watch movies now or movies then?

Mr.Hurley an art teacher at Unis middle school sat down to talk to me about the early movies. He said “I’ve watched some of the movies back then but I’d certainly rather watch movies now, they were weird compared to know they would use a film tape and record the sound then the film and put it all together.” He also said “the movies were certainly special it was a thing that people have never seen before and would pay some good money to watch it.”

So do you still think you’d ever watch a movie back in the day. Their very unique and something our 21st century probably have never seen before. But now movies are growing and changing like something we’ve never seen before.
