    History V. Hollywood In The 1920's

    History Vs. Hollywood: The Roaring Twenties was a time of jazz and flappers and good times, however, other aspects of the twenties life were arduous and troublesome. The youth of America was lied to by the government and their parents during the 1910s and World War I. With the reintroduction of the car, the youth rebelled against their parents and standards previously created. Other minorities also began to change. The women of the 1920’s wanted more rights, which they received when Congress amended 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. When women gained the right to vote, they had more freedom than ever. Another aspect people do not think about in the Roaring Twenties was the innovation of the radio. The radio connected the disillusioned youth, women, and all minorities and the majorities together. The radio was enjoyed by nearly every household, and it also entertained them(Sterling). In 2002, director Rob Marshall combined the important topics of the 1920’s into the musical titled…

    Fiction Films In The 20th Century

    Fiction films are often stigmatised by historians, as they distort the truth, causing problems when trying to use them as a source. Their wildly varying content matter, inaccuracies, and bias make them hard to use. Film does not simply suggest a worldview; it states, and we experience, its existence as truth, which is the fundamental power and danger it poses to the observer.

In this way, film is best considered as one stage in the ongoing history of communications. As a historical medium, therefore, fiction film can be very valuable, as despite fictitious content, it still has the potential…
