Hollywood – nine big white letters against the Hollywood Hills. Every year millions of people come from all over the world and look up at this famous sign. Why do they come? Most of all, they come to be in the most famous place in movie history – exciting, wonderful Hollywood!
I read Hollywood. This book has eleven chapters. It shows town,
movie’s history, awards and changes of Hollywood. My image of Hollywood is
movie’s town and Hollywood Sign. I didn’t know Hollywood well. Also, I didn’t often
watch the American movies. This book made me interested in Hollywood and movies.
I introduce about what I was
surprised at while reading this book. First, it is the origin of the name. Hollywood
is named from a villa by Daeida Wilcox because she loved this villa's name and she
could not forget it. Next, it is movies’ history. Early movies were silent and
very short, but they were popular at this time. I couldn’t image these movies.
If I have a chance, I want to watch them. Then, it is Oscars. I knew the awards’
name, but I didn’t know these contents of awards. I was surprised that now
there are more than twenty Oscars. The most famous Oscars are for the best
actor and best actress, and the best picture. But there are other Oscars, for
example, for the best costumes, best hair, and so on. On next Oscars, I will
watch TV to know the other Oscars and know what will be chosen.
This book introduces some famous movies, for example, the Lord of
the Rings, Titanic, Gone with the Wind and Jaws. However, I have never seen most
of the movies before. Especially, the movies which I am interested in are Titanic
and Star Wars. I know these titles, but I have not seen both of them. I read the
book of Titanic in English before, and I knew the most famous scene in Titanic
movie. I am going to rent this movie and watch all of it. Similarly, I do not mean
I don’t know about Star Wars at all. I tried to rent DVD of it before, but I didn’t
know which one to watch at first because it has a lot of series. Next time, I
will choose one of them and watch it!
Now, I know about Hollywood
and American movies’ history. I will try to watch these movies on this book. Also, I
want to visit this nice place someday!!
