History of Hollywood from 1980 to 1990

The Hollywood studio system grabbed two decades of American film history. Eight large companies controlled all sectors of the film industry, which tried to get the maximum economic benefit possible. The whole success is based on the development of an established product, with a narrative structure and staging that would attract public attention. By leading industry ad campaigns launched their stars and their stories, ready to be consumed by the public (Trice, 2001,, 111).

Depending upon the returns of films generated in the North American market during the 1980s and 1990s, De Vany and Walls have demonstrated powerfully, over the course of a series of articles, that the distribution of returns to film production are stable, yet highly skewed, with thick right tails, and are characterized by infinite variance, meaning that the outcome of the film production process, whether measured in terms of box-office revenues or profits, is essentially unpredictable.

The film is simply a milestone in film history and will always remain so. Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet were in their best roles. It is one of the best love stories of all time. In April 1912, 2200 passengers travelled in the largest ship of its time, the Titanic. According to the customs of the early industry strictly separated, the mob rushed into the small cabin of the 2nd and 3 Class deep in the bowels of the ship, while the finer gentlemen strolled to their private promenade deck. Among them, the 17-year-old aristocratic Rose with her mother and her fiancé, the son of a wealthy industrialist. In America, let them marry. Outwardly calm and befitting it is eating Roses inside, because her future husband is a hot-tempered pig who sees the young woman now than its possession.
