Can we say that cinema is a product of "white culture"?

No one is saying SHADOW PLAY (NOT PUPPETS) is where the CINEMA got it's start. What one is saying is CHINA and/or INDIA were using SHADOW PLAY 200 YEARS BCE or before the BIRTH of CHRIST (BCE stands for BEFORE the COMMON ERA) as a way to TELL STORIES (which is what both SHADOW PLAY and CINEMA do).

Then later on SHADOW PLAY turns into the use of the PUPPETS in INDIA.

But since CINEMA was actually the use of PHOTOGRAPY (a string of STILL PHOTOGRAPHS all strung together to create the ILLUSION of MOVEMENT taking place), that also means technically speaking CINEMA also got its start from PHOTOGRAPHY.

Cinematography is the illusion of movement by the recording and subsequent rapid projection of many still photographic pictures on a screen. Originally a product of 19th-century scientific endeavour, cinema has become a medium of mass entertainment and communication, and today it is a multi-billion-pound industry.


No one person invented cinema. However, in 1891 the Edison Company successfully demonstrated a prototype of the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures.

The first public Kinetoscope demonstration took place in 1893. By 1894 the Kinetoscope was a commercial success, with public parlours established around the world.

The first to present projected moving pictures to a paying audience were the Lumière brothers in December 1895 in Paris, France. They used a device of their own making, the Cinématographe, which was a camera, a projector and a film printer all in one.


By 1914, several national film industries were established. At this time, Europe, Russia and Scandinavia were the dominant industries; America was much less important. Films became longer and storytelling, or narrative, became the dominant form.

The First World War greatly affected the film industry in Europe, and the American industry grew in relative importance.

"Is that even POSSIBLE???"

Yes, ABSOLUTELY...

YOU SKIPPED HUNDREDS OF YEARS IN THE MIDDLE...FACT.

This^ .It's intolerant racism disguised as moral indignation.If a white person made these same remarks they would be labeled a bigot and vilified by the media.It doesn't matter what color the faces of my co-workers are because i don't view them as colors i view them as people.

IT'S RACISM UNDER THE GUISE OF "WHITE PRIDE".

a vast majority, "white"

Since I graduated with HONORS when I got my DEGREES, no offense has been taken.

Because we also learned about the PROCESS of PROJECTION in PSYCH 101.

In case you're not familiar with it, that's when someone accuses someone else of being the way that they are THEMSELVES.
