Cinematography is one of the wonders of the modern world. In 1895 the Lumiere brothers gave the world’s first real cinema show in Paris to an audience of 33 spectators. The first film they showed was “The Arrival of a Train at a Station”. Moving pictures seemed so real that the audience was frightened to death by the train rushing at them from the screen.
Not long ago millions of people used to visit cinemas each week. Cinema houses were often packed full and one could see people queuing up in front of the box-offices. Now with the price of tickets far from reasonable, the growth of video production, flood of thrillers empty of serious contents, the cinema is rapidly loosing its popularity.
Cinematography is truly an art of our time. It’s complicated and multi-faced as the 20th century itself. Everyone can find something to his liking in the broad variety of its genres. Those who seek pure entertainment and rest to the mind prefer musical comedies, detective films, thrillers, horror-films and westerns. Other people consider that movies should be rather a thought provoking and earnest art.
As for me, I really enjoy going to the cinema: it’s one of my favourite pastimes even though I don’t really do that often. When I want to go to the cinema I usually see in the programme what films are on. Then I phone my friends and we discuss what films to see. We prefer feature films but also enjoy cartoons and popular science films. I particularly enjoy films where you become so involved in the story that you forget where you are.
I’d like to tell you about the film which has been a hit with the public for 20 years already and on the eve of every New Year it is shown on TV. I guess you know I’m talking about the film “Light Steam to You, or the Irony of the Fate”. This film is very relaxing; it is for entertainment of heart and mind. It is Eldar Ryazanov’s film released by the Mosfilm studio. The action takes place in St. Petersburg of our days. Such famous actors as R. Myagkov, B. Brylska, Ju. Jakovlev are co-starring in the film.
