The role of cinema as a “dreamland” is especially known in times of crisis of society. For example, the famous “great depression” in the U.S. 30′s gave birth to an incredible massive interest in movies. Every week 85 million Americans visited 17,000 cinemas. An informant, a propagandist, an entertainer and teacher – these are the main lines in the film culture of the twentieth century. This film is the ideal commercial product of mass consumption, which had some impact. It was criticized for being undoubted dominance of democratic, dynamic, prone to spectacular plots and “friendship” with “low genre”.
Today there is no doubt that the story movies are not only art, but also – along with the architecture, caricature and commercial design – “the only visual art, living an organic life.” Whether we like it or not, but cinema forms more than anyone else the opinions, tastes, language, clothing, behavior and even the appearance of the public, more than 60% of the population.
The culmination of the film criticism goes to the first half of the twentieth century, and comes as a result of the conflict of traditional “cultural expression” and the new visual culture. With the development of film language, the evolution of the genre, the emergence of vanguard cinema and “intellectual” cinema, the emergence of the leading national film industry and an increasing number of films, recognized real masterpieces, the debate about the status of cinema in the culture system are no longer relevant. It is known that the modern cinema – is a complex dynamic system, capable of creating cultural products of various qualities.
Every visual language has a number of initial functions in the system of culture: information, advocacy, entertainment and compensatory.
Cinema itself is a system and has a complex structure, realizes all the functions of mass communication – awareness, education, organization behavior, entertainment, and communications – but in a particular way.
Contact with the works of art is made by the laws of communication. The essence of communication is seen by psychologists in “mutual exchange of the active individual personal content”. Especially it should be emphasized the moment of “interaction” in this process. In fact, the contact of the film and the audience is not built on the basis of the transfer and assimilation of information, but on the basis of empathy, active involvement of the viewer in the screen world.
Genesis of cinematic art also forms the patterns of socio-psychological, cultural and historic plan. There is a problem of clarifying the relationship of cinema not only with the phenomena of artistic culture, its place among other arts, but also awareness of the role of cinema in society, its ability to influence public consciousness.
