sfilmmakingculminated（达到顶点）forthefirsttimeduringthe1930sandthe1940s,andmanydistinguished（出色地）filmscameintobeing,suchasCitizenKane（《公民凯恩》）,GreatDictator（《大独裁者》）,WaterlooBridge,GonewiththeWind,Rebecca,Casablanca,etc.,provingtobetheclassicsinthehistoryofworldmovies.

Inthe1950sAmericanmoviesexperiencedanalltimelow.Thiswaspartlyduetothecompetitionoftelevision,butalsobecauseofthecollapse（溃败）offilm-makingmonopoly（垄断）andsimplyrepeatedfilmpatternswhichcouldnotcaterto（满足）thepublic'

Inthe1960sHollywoodbegantoadjustherselftothecompetingsituationbycooperatingwithtelevision,producingmotionpicturesandotherthingsforTV.From1970son,HollywoodcombinedthenewtechnologyofvideotapeandDVD-withfilm-making,whichhelpedkeepitinthecompetitionofculturalconsumption（文化消费）.Meanwhile,Americanfilmartistsshotfilms,likeJaw（《大白鲨》）;

Withsocialdevelopment,humancuriositywasstimulated（M$Kgreedinessandfascination（被激发）withthealienworld（异己世界）.Directorslikedtopursuehightechnologytomakesupermovieswithlifelikeeffectsonsound,picture,color,etc.TheaudiencealsoenjoyedthevisualandpsychologicalstimulationfromthesciencefilmslikeStarWars,Alien（《外星人》）;
