A Bittty Note of World Cinema

Before the twentieth century, people were able to view moving pictures.Those "moving pictures" were then named "films". At about the same time, films were actually very short. Subjects usually included views of a couple of people having breakfast, a kid palying with a banana, a man dong exercises, a pig eating an egg, or even just several houses, all very simple ideas. In other words, the early films were extremely "physical" and casual. The people started expressing their feelings, nervous or anxious, and their thoughts in films. Later, conversations and interviews showed up in films, people call those films "documentary". With the diversity of contents, it appeared genres, but few films lasted more than an hour.
