Thank you for that. I've been waiting for someone to finally do a series of videos over film's history and now there you are! This was really well done guys :)
Adolph Zukor doesn't get his due credit. Glad he did here. He also lived to a very old age . . durable. It is interesting how things evolve. MGM was the unquestioned king of the studios for several decades. Then was the upheaval in the late 50's and 60.s. By the 70's, MCA/Universal, with a very successful TV production facility took the hill. Warner Brothers, via Time Warner and large cable assets also reigned, while MGM fell into near impotence. Today, Disney, which was once just a niche, also ran, is the powerhouse.
@@sharmisthaandbooks you do know that India too had its studio system? They start the documentary with the history of how films started. Anyways if you think they are right then fine.
@@ananddeepdasgupta6430 yes we have history of how films started and that's not what we call studio system. Studio System is always referred to Hollywood capitalized studio system. It has a specific definition in Film History and Phalke's contribution is not part of studio system history. Any Film School in India will have elaborate discussion on how was Raja Harishchandra made and how Phalke became father of Indian Cinema. But Studio system is a socio political construction that dominated Hollywood industry and transnational market to oppose that Neo realist independent filmmakers came forward.
No one had "complete control" over anything. You used that phrase about four times in the first two mins of this video. I know using it makes this seem dramatic, which tells an interesting story, but it is also fiction.
Thanks for the watch and comment Alique! Unfortunately, I can at times be too liberal with my diction. The gradient of control isn't exactly the most defined... if you take a hard deterministic approach, then yeah, nothing--not a people, not an industry, not any agent--has "complete control."
Wonderful and great All Thomas Edison. Adulph zokor producer. DW Griffith And Harry solter Charlie Chaplin. Charles Spencer Chaplin director writer and producer greatest star. I watched movies Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock and Garry Cooper little and John Wayne and many more
I know this video is old as fuck, but I just really have to wonder why Americans have to jump at every chance to put nazi ideology next to the soviets as if they weren't complete polar opoosites and the latter hadn't pulverized the first during WWII (while America imported nazis and subtly adopted their ideology, aside from the jew-hating part)

Hi ! Great video ! It helps me a lot for my paper ! Could you give me the sources that you have used for this video ?
+Alexandre Wavrant Thank you! There were many sources, but most of the information came from Oxford History of World Cinema.
Im pretty sure Potemkin was co-directed by Gregory Alexandrov
❤️❤️❤️
They are definitely pointing a gun at and making the other guy read cards
And now Hollywood has revived it
Wow nothing about Dadasaheb Phalke and Indian Cinema?
It's about Hollywood studio system.
@@sharmisthaandbooks no not entirely. It is about the history of cinema
@@ananddeepdasgupta6430 the caption says so. Rise of the Studio System
