”A Short History of the Movies traces the evolution of the motion picture art from the little filmstrips that indiscriminately recorded anything that moved to the richly complex films of today that both excite the emotions and stimulate the minds, of those artists who saw something very deeply and very clearly about human experience and who possessed the art and craft to translate what they saw into something that we could see. The book studies the themes, the imaginations, the techniques, the visual qualities of those artists who might have become novelists or painters or poets but became filmmakers instead. Unfortunately, to find the artistic individuality, the creative intelligence, the ’mind’ at the center of most films is an impossible and artificial exercise. For this reason, this short history also calls attention to those facts of film that turn potential artists into hack mechanics. Who is the ultimate creator of a film? The director? The producer? The writer? The photographer? The editor? How independent is the film’s creator from the demands of audience on one hand and the demands of his creditors on the other? The relationship of a director to his film is vastly different from the relationship of a poet to his sonnet. And yet whole canons of films – by Griffith, Chaplin, Keaton, Renoir, Hitchcock, Bergman, Antonioni, Truffaut, and so forth – reveal that a single artist’s mind can be as clear, as consistent, and as compelling in the film form as in a canon of lyric poems.”
