ep01
1. 1985-1918 The World Discovers A New Artform
1）Lumiere lumined/illuminated the world. 现实向
2）梅里爱，找到了电影的另一极。【泪目
2. 1903- 1918 Thrill Becomes Story
1）剪辑与story telling
2）摄影机找到自由后，电影挣脱了剧场的阴影，演员被推到了最令人瞩目的地方——Stardom。
1910，Florence Lawrence, the very first movie star. 炒作，成名，悲剧，she set the pattern of stardom.
Hollywood upgraded the stardom, using luxurious costumes.
3)法外之地Hollywood
4）镜头语言的发展：交代人物，空间的关系
5）Hollywood was built by WOMEN, IMMIGRANTS and JEWS, people who were not accepted in any other professionals at that time.
Half of the films before 1929 were written by women.
When talking film era came, the price of making film skyrocketed. Wall Street came into the business. Money created more jobs. Film was considered as a real business. Men wanted the job now. (Cari Beauchamp
6) D. W. Griffith: film needs to show wind in the trees. (a step to blur the real world and the imaginary world【how beautifully written here.
一个国家的诞生（power of film, to infulence the real world）；党同伐异（meanings behind the screen）
Griffith's gate. 【我并没有真的去过Hollywood Blvd。。。
ep02 1918-1928 The Triumph of American Film And the First of its Rebels
核心是讲好莱坞的崛起和现实主义电影对摄影棚电影的反叛
【真的很喜欢看导演之间的纵向联系=v=，得看多少电影才能架得起这么一个影像宇宙
说到好莱坞它的厉害之处（studio system在全球的繁殖也是资本主义production line的缩影），也不得不提它的短处。片子里提到了部分导演没有“最后剪辑权”的问题。【值得思考
卓别林《城市之光》《大独裁者》
德莱叶《圣女贞德蒙难记》极简 --- 拉疯
ep03 1918-1932 The Great Rebel Filmmakers Around the World
反好莱坞entertainment romantic cinema（soft lighting, shallow focus, makeup, dream-like）
第一波：德莱叶（现实主义）
第二波：刘别谦（film comedy）
第三波：法国 阿贝尔·冈斯impressionist influence
第四波：德国 罗伯特·维恩《卡里加里博士的小屋》 expressionist influence表现主义 德国刚刚输了第一次世界大战

（所以这一章基本上在讲现实主义电影对好莱坞浪漫主义电影的矫正，为啥我还是觉得这么好莱坞中心呢= ，=）
（以及，看到阮玲玉被给予这么高的评价，还是很感动的）
