The film method of history in this paper have to take into account both film and print as source material for film history in the modern sense, as palimpsest, parchment and hieroglyph, clay tablet, and manorial Roll are sources of information about the past. Sometimes we refer to the film as a kind of documentary.
Cinema has changed the way we see history. Cinema has changed the way we think about history. The film has made us see history from our point of view, at least in the first instance.
The film is not just the history. It is also the history that it is the film that makes possible. In addition to history, the movie has made possible other kinds of information: statistics, genealogy, politics, medicine, religion, philosophy, history, sociology, literature, and other kinds of texts that can be used as sources for the study of the human condition. These are the kinds of texts that cannot be understood by reading from history itself.
The cinema has also revolutionized what kinds of film are available for us to watch. Some people have turned to author films for the entertainment of their taste; others turn to documentaries. However, the two most popular forms of film are the documentary and the drama. These forms of film are both the historical and the modern, but they have different features. It would take another essay to cover the differences between them.
Dramatic films provide an experience of life, as in a drama. But drama can also be used to describe something that happened in the past. For example, an actor playing the title role in a play can give an account of his or her experiences in a drama, but he or she might do so in a way that the actor does not necessarily identify the particular events in his or her life as the drama is being told. In this way, the play can be described as part of the history of the actor.
The movie is the film. Movies can be either fictional films or historical films, but mostly they are ahistorical. meaning they take place in the past as history and do not tell us anything about the future.
The film has also changed what kinds of films are available for us to watch. In the past, there were only a few kinds of films available for people to watch, and some people never watched any of the films they saw because of the quality of the films.
The film has also changed the kind of actors that can act in movies. Now actors can be almost anything, and they can change roles at will. This is an advantage, because the movie can be used as a kind of documentary. and the actor can give a different perspective on a given historical event.
