Movies began as epic spectacles produced by large film production companies as entertainment for the masses, a theater for the proletariat, if you will. Then from the silent “moving pictures”, we saw theater legends as living, breathing, and speaking icons of beauty, strength, and coolness. The modern movie was born.
