Moving Pictures: The History of Early Cinema

When the husband strays, it is the other woman (Sushmita Sen) who is blamed for the same and is demonized all through the film. The husband is absolved of adultery and he returns to his legitimate partner i.e. the wife at the end of the story. The significance of the title i.e. Biwi no.1 is because the wife is successful in bringing the husband back to the domestic arena – seen as the victory of the „traditional‟ (wife) over the „modern‟ (mistress/vamp). Such a portrayal has strong moral connotations associated with it. . | Discovery Guides Moving Pictures The History of Early Cinema By Brian Manley Introduction Magic Lantern 1818 Musée des Arts et Metiers http en.wikipedia.Org wiki File Magic-lantern.jpg The history of film cannot be credited to one individual as an oversimplification of any history often tries to do. Each inventor added to the progress of other inventors culminating in progress for the entire art and industry. Often masked in mystery and fable the beginnings of film and the silent era of motion pictures are usually marked by a stigma of crudeness and naiveté both on the audience s and filmmakers parts. However with the landmark depiction of a train hurtling toward and past the camera the Lumière Brothers 1895 picture La Sortie de l Usine Lumière à Lyon Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory was only one of a series of simultaneous artistic and technological breakthroughs that began to culminate at the end of the nineteenth century. These triumphs that began with the creation of a machine that captured moving images led to one of the most celebrated and distinctive art forms at the start of the 20th century. Audiences had already reveled in motion pictures through clever uses of slides and mechanisms creating moving photographs with such 16th-century inventions as magic lanterns. These basic concepts combined with trial and error and the desire of audiences across the world to see entertainment projected onto a large screen in front of them birthed the movies. From the actualities of penny arcades the idea of telling a story in order to draw larger crowds through the use of differing scenes began to formulate in the minds of early pioneers such as Georges Melies and Edwin S. Porter. This Discovery Guide explores the early history of cinema following its foundations as a money-making novelty to its use as a new type of storytelling and visual art and the rise of the film industry. 2011 ProQuest Released July 2011 1 Manley The History of Early Cinema Prehistory of Motion
