...This incident marked a turning point in the social appreciation of film, and writers and theater people began to cooperate.German cinema took its first steps from "Kientopp" (activity) to "Kino" (film) and then to "Filmkunst" (film art) before the First World War. From Talkie Movies...This "hopeless adventure" was a huge success as a measure to overcome the crisis, and talkies inadvertently spread throughout the world. The conversion of movies to talkies was a fundamental technological innovation, and required huge investments in patent royalties for sound technology, machinery, and equipment, which rapidly promoted the sophistication of film capital through ties with finance capital, completely changing the industrial structure of film, and leading to Wall Street directly controlling Hollywood (In Germany, too, a phenomenon occurred in which heavy industry capital in the Ruhr region, which had an interest in film, took control of Ufa through the Hugenberg Foundation). Stars who could not adapt to the new "world of sound" (for example, stars with good looks but bad voices) and directors were doomed to failure, and because it was a major revolution that required a complete rewrite of the silent film system, while new talent was brought in from the theater world, there were fears that it would lead to the "canned stage play" seen in the early days of film, and there were also strong voices of opposition to the destruction of the visual art unique to silent films that had been developed over the past 30 years, such as those of Chaplin and Rene Clair. *Some of the terminology that refers to "Woofa [company]" is listed below.
