Pre-Code Hollywood
Watching pre-code hollywood you can see how the movies from the US from that era were not far away from the european movies in terms of brightness.<p>Once i knew about this i understood why most of the hollywood movies turned out into the brain damages in comparison to the european cinema.. this together with plot based movies + capitalistic objectives being considered above artistic values and originality, turned things worse.<p>The only reason some US movies have artistic values is or because the film-makers are defiant of the system, rule-breakers, managing to bend the system into their favor or the money-making machine captivated some talented foreign film-makers.. But of course giving the system keep draining and eating itself, its never enough, and there are no roots nor a organic and sustainable growth.<p>But the system works in a sort of vampiresque form, so once there are no more talent to suck, or the talents are not &quot;selling out&quot; anymore, all the system goes down with time..<p>I love to watch the cultural and cinema areas because there are a lot of lessons to learn from the perspective of technology, because our fields are not that much different once you see the patterns..<p>I always tough that the US capitalism need some sort of balance to not always become imbalanced because its giving too much focus on profits.<p>Technology companies that were once inventive turn into to &quot;give more profits to the shareholder&quot; machines and eventually lose what actually gave them the edge anyway. Apple for instance didn&#x27;t learn its lesson and its repeating the same errors of the past unfortunately..<p>I know it was about &quot;pre-code&quot; and &quot;what it have to do with it?&quot; right? But i focus on this to learn about how technology can blossom and other controversial things like &quot;what the nazis did right&quot; (*) in terms of technology to understand more about this..<p>(*) - My current answer to this is that the nazi were there just in time to collect all the science that have been promoted since the XIX century. So basically the nazis were there to collect and use all that scientific prowess to forge their war machine (of course they were also masters at giving people meaning and big goals&#x2F;dream big).
