Lets Think ...

Entertainment out of home is changing more and more, now go to watch a movie it could be an amazing experience... the 3D is now a big move, most of the movie that are comng now are going to be 3D or Imax, not just movies now atracctions parks have differents kind of entertaiment like virtual glasses and you enter to a virtural world. Every day this industry of entertaiment is growing more and more, which is good because the people are not going to stay in their homes they are going to feel very atractive by this games.

The entertaiment in-home, I think that have more impact. The consolas are better and more dinamic. The project Natal (click to watch video) is the most waiting consola of Xbox. Consist in a software which read your moves, thats mean NO MORE CONTROLLER.
Good or bad? well thats depend of the people and how the abuse of this experience. With games like this is more dificult to people go a outside to have fun.

Film & Culture Heritage

Similarities & Differences

These industries have differents structures, Film industry is more complex to produce a film or movie because these need a production and facilities to make it, Culture and Heritage are monuments and museums already there. Both are entertainment for people and you can enjoy it.

Convergence and Future

Probably the convergence is afecting more the Film industries for good and bad. We all know how easy is download a movie from free. But also now we can enjoy 3D movies and feel us more inside the films. Maybe For Culture and Heritage Industry is a good thing because convergence promote more these sights in different parts of the world and that help the industry grow more.

Charles Chaplin

Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London in April 16th 1889. Influenced in his theatrical family, Chaplin continue in this world of entreteiment. Few years later his parent get in divorce, Even as a child he found success as a performer, making his stage debut in 1894.
He finally agreed to appear before the cameras at the expiration of his vaudeville commitments in November 1913; and his entrance in the cinema world took place that month when he joined Mack Sennett and the Keystone Film Company. His initial salary was $150 a week, but his overnight success on the screen spurred other producers to start negotiations for his services.
By the early 1920's Chaplin was making his own films with actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Having control of his own films lead to classics, such as 'The Kid', 'The Gold Rush', 'City Lights', 'Modern Times' and 'The Great Dictator'. These films made him the most popular and successful film star of his time.

His performances as "the tramp"—a sympathetic comic character with ill-fitting clothes and a mustache—won admiration from audiences across the world.

On screen, he was a beloved figure of fun; off-screen, however, his liberal political views brought accusations of Communism and close official scrutiny, while his notorious private life heaped opprobrium on his head.

Chaplin was accused of being a communist by senator McCarthy, and a file was produced that supposedly detailed his subversive political activities since 1922.

In 1952, Chaplin visited Europe and was not allowed to return to the US; he settled in Switzerland. He made a film, 'The King In New York', in 1957, which was full of criticism of McCarthy and American society in general.

He was allowed to return to the US in 1972 to receive an Oscar for his services to film. He died in Switzerland aged 88.

The importance of regulations in the film industry is that someone should see what kind of film will show to the public and see if is according to the audience before it is displayed, such as parents of children should be aware what content has the movie.
