Chaplin began his career in cinema at the Keystone Film studio. It was headed by the patriarch of American comedy M. Sennett, whose school also went through the famous comedians B. Keaton and G. Lloyd. However, the real "godfather" of American cinema of the beginning of the 20th century. certainly was D. W. Griffith (1875–1948). His films, among which the Birth of a Nation and Intolerance should be especially noted, enriched not only US cinema, but also the entire world cinema with new means of expression, improvement of the specifics of montage (parallel montage). Extremely interesting experiments are taking place at the same time and on the other side of the ocean - in the countries of Eastern Europe, in particular in Russia, where directors Ya. Protazanov, V. Gardin, E. Bauer, whose work was connected with the flourishing of the melodrama genre, are actively working.

A premonition of an inevitable tragedy permeates the work of the masters of French cinematography, in particular the films of "poetic realism" by J. Préver and M. Carnet - "The Embankment of Mists", "The Day Begins"; paintings by J. Renoir - "The Great Illusion", "Rules of the Game", "Man-Beast". Therefore, it is no coincidence that the number one actor of the French cinema of this period is Jean Gabin, whose hero defies history and is doomed to death. This gave the well-known theoretician and film historian A. Bazen reason to call Gaben a tragic modern hero.

The last three decades of the 20th century. become a prime time for outstanding artists of our time: F. Fellini - "Rome", "Amarcord", "A ship sails..."; M. Antonioni - "Zabrisky Point", "Profession: reporter"; L. Visconti - "Death of the Gods", "Death in Venice", "Ludwig", "Family portrait in the interior" (Italy); I. Bergman – "Snake's Egg", "Autumn Sonata", "Fanny and Alexander" (Sweden); A. Kurosawa - "Seven Samurai", "Shadow of the Warrior", "Wound" (Japan); A. Tarkovsky - "Andrii Rublev", "Solyarke", "Stalker", "Nostalgia" (Russia).
