Билет № 17 Movies. My favorite actor.

The movies are truly an art of our time. It is the greatest aesthetic and educational force in the world today. The invention of the photography in 1828 played a very important role in the development of the cinema. Cinema was born in 1895. The first movie theatres appeared in 1904. And in 1907 the literature works started to be widely used for the movie scripts. The movies are a powerful force in contemporary life. Cinema is also used for educational purposes. The news on TV helps to know what happens in the world each day. The cinema is also the means of entertainment. As for me I like to go to the cinema to watch the films with my favorite actor J. D. on TV. I like his acting very much. All his characters are bright individuals. And it seems to me Johnny Depp plays them brilliantly .Johnny Depp was born June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentuky. In his young years Johnny wanted to become a musician. He even played in the band. But his musical carrier was not as successful as his actor one. After several small roles Depp landed his first legitimate movie role in the horror film “Nightmare of Elm Street”. The film had a great success. In 1990 Depp starred in the 50s-kitsch musical, Cry-Baby, which became a cult hit and succeeded in changing his image. I think that after a working day one can relax watching some good movie. Nowadays people can’t just imagine their life without the art of cinema.
