To What Extent did the U.S Between 1930 and 1980 Increasingly Influence British Cinema Culture
Britain and America have always had a very close relationship that could have stemmed from a number of different things. The English discovered America, they both speak the same language and the fact that America helped Britain in the first World War may have played an important part in why the two countries are so close. Due to this close bond or the 'special relationship' between the countries, over time we have influenced each other endlessly but perhaps none more so than the influence that America has had over British cinema between the 1930's and 1980's.
Since the late 1800's and early 1900's, Britain has made a great deal of films and continues to do so today. Britain has an impressive film industry but America's is even better and has far much more money invested in it. British films are much more low maintenance than American films and seem to deal with more everyday stories than America whose films tend to be based around a heroic. Patriotic theme. The two film industries are very different which is perhaps a reason why the films produced appeal to people in the other country. The reason they are able to appeal to one another is that they share English as their main language. This means that the films can be easily understood and no subtitles need to be used to translate the language.
