Movies in the 1930's
(The Golden Age of Hollywood)
The 1930's introduced many new things some bad, some good. The movie industry is and was considered to be one of the better things. Even though it was the time of the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash, Hollywood still prospered. However, the attendance to the movies declined. The 30's ended the silent black and white era and introduced "talkies" and some color movies. Now, if you were to compare the movies back then to the movies now you would see an obvious difference. First off, the actors weren't that good, they really over acted. Secondly, the quality wasn't all that good either. Lastly, they didn't have all the technology we do now to make all the cool effects.

The Wizard of Oz. A popular movie now and back then.
From most of the movies that I actually know from the 30's I actually like. I think this was a really good thing to happen for the time period. With all that was going on with the economy I think that movies would be a really good distraction.
