All the 'wood' n

Of course everyone knows only Hollywood and yet it follow the Boolywood and Nollywood.




Hollywood is the first place where filmmakers gather from around the world, especially European ones because of WWII. Hollywood is who shows us the American dream, educates Americans and sets standards for the way of life around the world. Movies pass several stages as western, classic novels, films noir, films of the female revolution, hi-tec technological films, films composed of families, and that they recently 3D. Hollywood  makes huge profits for each film that comes out in the market but they are also expensive and their promotion takes a big part of the money.  

Bollywood with a domestic overproduction has become enjoyable for the rest of the world. Sweet romantic scenarios that convey the values of a society as education, mutual respect and traditions. And although we know many of the Hollywood actor had problems with the persecutions from fans and keeping their live private the Indian actors have the same problems even worst. Bollywood actress pass the fame to their children who continue their empire and was a little to say that if Americans have the president of the saint in India are actresses. 

Nollywoodi, tell me you have heard about it? Nigerian cinema is which insists on its success and has managed to rank with wood side end. In Nigeria they make a law that wouldn't allow foreign films to be shown through television and 2/3 of the population decided to make himself these films. So they begin to shoot with digital cameras and assemble and launch them in direc in tv,not in cinemas. Nigerian cut the classic movie premieres chain will go on pay per view platforms in the countries where they migrated more as uk. After platforms would be televisions that will buy these films and will eventually be out in the market with a price of about 1 dollar. Bad movies or good movies they do not cere much, but they are getting better with the time and  their rates are vine growing.

America of the 70’s

During the  70’ the things continue to evolve and change. The people started more and more not to trust the government and 'the radical' ideas of the 60' earned ground among the people. Starting from tripling the participation of women in decision-making of the country and among disadvantaged minorities and Gay-t to gain equal rights.Cultural life flourishes in America the events and changes that happened,  inspired music, literature, films and fashion. We have 
   We have the innovation of new technologies such as the use of floppy disc, e-mail, the laser printer and video recorder with VHS tapes which will make possible the distribution of films for everyone to watch from home. 
A new sound will emerge after the death of Elvis Presley and the split up of  Beatles. Will be Pink Floyd, Bee Gees, Elton John, John Lennon (who was also an activist against the war in Vietnam) and Bob Marley music starts to internationalize Regge.                                              

3D Cinema

End finally we can see movies in 3D, but with this movies we can spot different reactions to the 3D fenomena.
1. Those people who experienced it with the same reaction like the one of the Train in Lumiere cinemas at the beginning of the time,
2. Those people who wanted to take the 3D glasses home,to see if the magic will continue.
3.Those people who didn't care and were surprised from the reactions of the others.


 Then after 3 movies they would calm down. They learned that nothing bad would happen to them,the glesses would work only in the cinema so they returned them back .
After the big surprise and getting use to this movies some other types came up. If I would ask anyone have you seen a 3D movie lately they would reply:
- No I have already seen one of them!



Not every movie is worth it to watch in 3D,especially those with live action people and no supernatural heroes. I do love to watch only animated movies in 3D but at this movies there is another problem,the kids and the mother that comes with them that has to tell the story so the kids would understand it.

I thought I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow's leaders, not their wives!" -- Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts), Mona Lisa Smile

During this film girls are presented as individuals who need to be able to provide a marriage. The story is based entirely on war and feminism though most of the characters are married. While I see this movie, a question arises: How did we become like we are?

The answer is found in women played by Julia Roberts. Thanks to her throughout history such companies' expectations for women have changed. I myself want to define this film as a feminist film,this film shows feminist movement in both its forms and in the form of mass meetings and in another form which is also essential in such work and dedication that Watson has for himself and people around him. Of course we can not imagine today ourselves in situations that exceed characters in film but also in himself back in a way we pupil Watson and draw inspiration and lessons. Every time I've seen this film I felt that I grew a little.

America of the 60's

  60s will begin with the movement of the civil rights activist the most known M.L.King  and Rosa Parker (mother of modern days for African-Americans). After the assassination of M.L.King would be his wife Correta S King that would continue the movement for women's liberation and will take the name 'Black Power. 
                                    

The women will begin their revolt in socio-political life. Now labeled only for their role as mothers, wives, those seeking gender equality household. So in factories, institutions, military academies and air and open doors for women. 

Here we look at and most profound change among women in America and Albania. Although American Propaganda was the land of dream and freedom or equal opportunities. it was so  only for men but white men. All others as women, minorities and sexual colored fought and were sacrificed to achieve equality in society. 
 1964 launched the Vietnam War, the postwar while children are now teens and want to see the world as a revolutionary. Girls were screaming  after Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and starts and Beatles mania. 

Miniskirts will seize the trend of the time, what. It will have an impact around the world until nowadays is 60 years invention of Barbie doll which returned to perfect the female model as early America and then throughout the world.Meanwhile a new generation is raising who is against the war and this will be the Hippie's. This move crowned with the festival wood stock protests. Hippie keep itself free drugs as a way of expression, rock, freedom in choosing Religioni and sexual freedom. Television will become with colour and finally  the first man on the moon by Apollo 11.

Cinema of the 50's

Hollywood would enterto  a classic period of his post and starts to feel the threat of television but nevertheless finds a way to gather people in cinema. In these years will notice an influx of men in cinema generally and for all for the same reason. A beautiful and sexy blond,men will be attracted to she was Marilyn Monroe. She returned the desire of every man acting not because of how much more to her appearance. Cinema turns her into a sexual desire and in an object for men in her films like "marry a millionaire 'and' Men prefer blondes' she puts a price for every women. Every woman can be bought with a diamonds because diamonds are the best friends of women, I have promoted Hollywood-50s headed by Marilyn Monroe. He was leading this belief was great inventor and producer of aircraft but Howard Hughes movie. Was this man with a problematic character who bought the most beautiful women of the time like Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Anita Akbar and Kate Hepburn. The relationship with his women we be passing more beautiful in his films and this was not an intimate relationship or erotic but affiliation actors belonged to him and that I kitted with gifts from more expensive, many actors like Anita Akbar not played ever movies while leaving the production of Hughes. Although the fame of his films came to my generation. Either all girls worship Marilyn Monroe and her relationships with men in that has represented it in the cinema. Newspapers and magazines in Albania still talk about glorification of women in this period. Huges so would be quite proud of the beautiful brain wash that made women around the world and for so many years. So time and very few have realized that the brilliance of the diamond that a man gives a woman  is like a letter of ownership that we take when we buy a property, even if the relationship in pairs to go wrong a woman will look diamond and to forget everything will just just like a lawyer looks at his papers 

Movies in theater or from your PC?

I love going in theater to see movies is one of my favorite things to do but some times is not worth it.
Since I live in Tirane a weird thing happens when a movie is in theater at the same time you can watch it with good resolution in the internet. when my friends
invite me to go for a movie I want to check it first if i would like to spend my money to watch it or no. Then of course I like to watch it in theaters and I spend my 500 lek with pleasure to see the movie in 35 mm.
When I go there the movie is screening from the laptop of the projectionists! I mean are they serious...
If you go to ask them they tell you that they could affording only one print that is already late from the world premier and that is only available in one theater and the others do the screenings from a laptop. Well you should have told me that when I was buying the ticket mister. Now I have to know first where they are screening with 35 mm and go and see the movie if I really like it after I have seen it in my pc.
  

Women during communism

Once women accepted the challenge to do the heavy work with heavy machinery now she should be accepted and the highest leading role  and in medicine . they use to say 'women I have long hair and short mind' indeed I heard it for the first time In the movie 'old wounds' but this statement is not just a saying but it is the essence of the writer's thoughts on women in general people .To persuade people that Albania needs to be built and that women and men will work equally was easier than to say that a woman will hold the responsibility for their lives and well-being of the country .  of old wounds is determined in her profession and the suffering this prejudice while managing to fight it. In the movie 'Kapedani' a woman is a chief. Women was seen as a slave who must stay and serve only at home. One other movie which I have seen is the movie 'A long Year'. Here experiencing silent struggle of a woman whose husband was sick at the same time she has to fulfill her duty. The society here is a barrier because a wife should take care of the sick husband not go to work. The film proposes a solution other main character is able to do it all and  succeeds in challenging all those who do not believe that she could do it.

The imaginary Albania of Hollywood

Hollywood screenwriters are very happy that Albania is not very known and they can imagine it as they wish. I imagine these screenwriters sitting in a table and thinking: What to add something interesting and fun to the script ... Let's through a bit of Albania cause ultimately people will not realize that we are talking bullshit.
Let's take the movie 'My Mom's New Boyfriend'  with the Albanian underground restaurant.

1.Albanians do not keep the chickens  in the middle of the house. Well we do sometimes  during New Year's eve but it stays in the bathroom , like in these movie below: 'In our home '

2. Belidancing is not the Albanian traditional dancing,you could have  googel it and find something  like: Lily Cingu. 

Liliana Cingu

But then the film would not have half naked women dancing I understand that.

3.I have not heard of us eating alligators. Birds like chickens, ducks I eat also lambs and cows. In Albania are no Crocodiles but now I am thinking that  probably we might have eaten them.

4. Graski - It looks like they have mixed the word Raki (Albanian Brandy) and Gezuar (Cheers), but I don't think that they gave it so much thought

 In the end, it turns out that the Albanian flag was the only Albanian thing there that charmed up the scene.

America during 40's- 50's (Noir)

America of the 40's - 55's

  America will emerge in the 45 world war after use bombs of mass destruction (nuclear) Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But social economic life in America was concentrated on women's work because they had already replaced men away at war. Emigrates to America and a large class of intellectuals who fled from Europe because of Hitler's genocide and fair to honor a director that will mark the next era of the Hollywood Film Noir.

American cinema of the 40's - 50's

Barbara Stanwyck Fred Macmurray
Double Indemnity

The cinema of these years and the first half of the 50's will get involved with a new concept of film as a noir or Black. In the center of this film would have "Femme Fatale 'or otherwise in poor said a woman who is ready to kill.
 Femme fatale  uses her charm and sensuality to deceive men in order to achieve wealth, independence and power and sometimes all three together are reached up killing them standing in their path. So they violate every norm of society to achieve selfish purposes.

The film will portray noir fatale as mighty independently to punish after being destroyed at the end of it and the male that loves. All these films have at their center a woman among them will be singled out, 'Double Indemnity'  wife is much younger than her husband begins an idyll of love with the agent of insurance for killing her husband and gain wealth insurance of his life denouncing and agent at the end.

Joan Crawford as Mildread Pierce

'Mildread Pierce' - A woman who sacrifices everything to raise her children in life mundane, fulfilling every whim but in the end her daughter becomes a killer when fancy her to be married to the man her mother is not fulfilled .
'Sunset Boulevard' - film cult of Hollywood's which is at the center Norma Desmond a star of silent cinema that was left by the time the castle of its old and that itself it would do everything to return before reflector cinema camera and doing murder to live a moment of fame. Film noir was the only one to respond from the situation in Europe is and its exact origin of German director.
