History, history, history.... why? Since I see the beginning of every chapter is going to obviously begin with a not so brief history in ANY given subject I'll try not to complain every time but I probably won't succeed. Surprisingly, the history in this chapter wasn't so bothersome other than the fact that half the time I really didn't understand. That's sort of a trend with this book though so again I'll try not to complain. I feel like the author is sort of trying to rush through the history as well, spitting out dates and names from left to right. I mean, sometimes I get what he is trying to say but most of the time I don't. On a more positive, less complaining, note this whole time period where movies had no sound, editing, or even captions amazes me. It makes me think about the people who much have lived in those times. I compare movies back them to flipagram and it's weird thinking that people were actually amazed and entertained by that for a whole 12 minutes. Speaking of 12 minutes, there was a time when a whole movie only lasted 12 minutes? What? Also, why were people such sticklers? I mean what's the harm in a little on screen lovin'? Was the Kiss so sensually erotic that there had to be a law made against it? Prohibiting the use of certain words and costumes? Sounds a bit over dramatic to me. Lastly, what the heck is the deal with communism?! To my understanding it's just, in a pretty small nutshell, a society that shares everything. Why put people in jail for believing in that?
