‘In contrast to Hollywood films, the British Cinema has been labelled as amorphous and uninteresting and lacking in social relevance. ... 3) is this a fair assessment of British Cinema and films of the period?
British cinema could be considered amorphous in the 1930’s as in many other decades, compared to Hollywood for firstly one geographical reason. Hollywood is essentially a town of filmmakers and film studios where the closeness of financial and creative institutions allows trends in film to spread throughout the community from production to production. ...
Yet on the other hand the Hollywood films of the same era could be considered amorphous also as films such as Snow White and the seven Dwarfs and The Wizard of Oz were released around the same time as films such as Gone with The Wind and The Bride of Frankenstein. These films are complete contrasts to each other with different storylines, genres, and stars. ... Perhaps if it is referring to the production quality of the film being amorphous then it could be considered a bad trait for British cinema as viewers would be instantly put off from watching certain films if they associated them in that way. If on the other hand Landy if referring to the genres being amorphous then that has surely got to be a good point for British film as a whole as “variety is the spice of life” and this would pick up the British film industry by appealing to a wider audience who might not have watched a British film if it was of a genre such as a documentary, for example.
Hollywood’s film production has through many years been concerned with commercial and financial gain rather than artistic and creativeness. Hollywood movies are essentially mad to make money where as in British films; people who love films or want to get a message across make them. Due to theses facts Hollywood films would form trends, as they would try to create the profit a previous film had made by emulating it in a certain way.
