commercialism. This implication of film culture in the commercialism existed when the Great
Depression caused major economic and infrastructure loss. Therefore, some filmmakers and
businessmen thought that making films are one of the assets of economic development.
Franklin Roosevelt established The National Recovery Administration, where film
productions hired societies in working, as well as creating several big movie productions which
created oligopoly and money trusts. From these policies the Hollywood development has
formed a major impact in Hollywood films. In addition, many film productions strive to get
more income for every productions. As a result, one of the classic approaches to commercialism
is to segment stories, stars and camera movement into the target market. However, due to
some decreases of viewers, MGM made B movies into more luxurious.

as a highlight of their film. It proves that there are some long lasting famous actors in several
leading movie productions. For instance, Greta Garbo, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Katharine
Hepburn, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Marie Dressler. All of them are the stars of MGM, and
because of them, MGM gets more income, especially for the theater. In addition, movie
theaters also made some sales promotions during ‘low season,’ by adding popcorn, and buy 1

until movie distribution and sales. Also, due to the long development, US has the power to
distribute films by doctrine people for almost the entire world. Due to the story, camera
movements invention and star quality, as a result Hollywood films can be one of the most
