Positive
America is renowned for it's film industry and of course, Hollywood plays a large role in that. But this isn't just about Hollywood as it doesn't just represent film but glamour and making dreams come true, along with other things. A century ago, it was rare to have a brand new, feature length, ground breaking movie with special effects in every scene to be released on a near weekly basis in our cinemas. However, America (Hollywood) was the country that made film the way it is today. The image above of the Warner Brothers Pictures film company I feel has a positive reflection of America, as it is just one of many widely recognised symbol of what joys and entertainment Hollywood has brought to our screens for the past century.
Behind the Scenes...
In relation to Hollywood and it's movie successes, there is still the shadow that lurks behind every stage door that many of it's actors and actresses get absorbed into. The 'Celebrity' can have both good and bad connotations, to me it is generally bad. Take the image above for example, the actress, Miley Cyrus, has become a household name, though many knew what lay ahead for her. The actress made her debut appearance as the leading role in Disney Channel's 'Hannah Montana' - (The story of a girl who was a superstar by night and normal Nashville girl 'Miley Stuart' by day). The image on the left is Cyrus at the young age of 14, in the image across is her today (19). She has clearly left her Disney past behind and taken on a more explicit and adulterated appearance. Miley Cyrus isn't the only household name to have plummeted from fame to shame - Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are just a couple more. I feel this image has a negative reflection on America as it shows, although many aspects of Hollywood are brilliant, it can also twist and ruin the lives of some who let the fame get to their heads and let the money slip out of their hands.
