                            ART IS  LONG. LIFE IS  SHORT

 

   I.  Listen to my story and answer the questions.

       Theatre, cinema and TV films have become an important part of our life.

       Theatre is a wonderful  combination of arts. Cinema is a marvelous invention

of the 20 th century. At theatres people can see dramas, tragedies, comedies, operas, ballets, puppet-shows and other performances.

       The cinema (or movies as Americans call it) is the most popular form of

entertainment.

        In the cinema you can see all kinds of films from  the earliest Charlie Chaplin

comedies to popular science films, including love stories, musicals, comedies,

detective films, and,  of course, feature films.

         Not so long ago people went to the cinema and theatre frequently, but  now

they prefer to stay at home and watch  video and  films on TV.

          

 

 

Answer the questions :

1. What  is the most popular form of entertainment in the USA and in the other

countries?

2. What  can you see at theatres?   3.   What films can you see in the cinema?

   II. The   world capital of filmed  entertainment Los Angeles has been a lot of things over the  past 100 years.

        In 1911 the first studio appeared in Hollywood.  Hollywood got the name of the factory of dreams. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Paramount, United Artists, Universal are film companies in it. Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers are American film companies. Movies (films), including those on video-cassettes, remain the most popular art form in the world. There are some film genres developed in all the countries. Guess them listening to the following:

P1.    1) Charles Spencer Chaplin became the most widely recognized figure in the world. He emphasized the development of character and plot structure, in contrast to the simple reliance on gags and gimmicks. (comedy).

P II.  2) A film about life in the American West in the past was the first American genre to be developed and has  remained a staple of the  American motion-picture

art and industry. (Western)

P III. 3) They have evolved into a major American genre, since wars have occupied  so  much of contemporary American history. The Second World War has been the subject of the greatest number of American films in this genre.

(War films)

P IV. 4)  Horror films (thrillers)/ In the 1920s the creation of  a monster who gets out of control or is coming to life from non-human beings who survive by killing the living provided the basic story lines of  countless films. These films as a genre is associated with the name of Alfred Hitchcock.

PV.    5) These   films  include first of all the James Bond series. Hitchcock’s films of this genre feature ordinary people who accidentally become involved with spies or other evil doers. (Detective and spy films)

P VI.  6) These films increasingly suggested that  the dangers of the future stemmed from what human beings were doing in the present. (Science fiction)

P.3. Later on in the 19^th century two other playwrights became famous – Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) and George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). Even now people greatly enjoy G.Swa’s play “Pygmalion” which is very popular in many countries.

T.  Listening Comprehension:

  There are today about 200 professional theatres in Britain. The centre of theatrical activity is of course London, where there are some 40 principal theatres in the West End and several more in the suburbs. Among the companies receiving government grants are the Royal Shakespeare Company , the National Theatre  Company ,the English  Stage Company ,the Covent Garden Opera House and the Mermaid [`mә:meid].

    There are many theatres in Russia, but the most famous of them are in Moscow. The Bolshoi and the Maly Theatres are famous all over the world. Late in 1988, a Detective Theatre appeared in Moscow. It is directed by Vasili  Livanov ,an actor, producer and writer. It was he who played the title role in the television serial “Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson” and this work brought Livanov and his partner in the film actor Vitali Solomin round to the idea of creating a theatre.

 All theatres differ from each other. They have their own plays, their actors and actresses. But on the other hand all the theatres have a box-office, a cloak-room and almost all theatre performances begin at the same time in all theatres  all over the world.
