隨著好萊塢一年一度的電影學院獎（Academy Awards），也就是「奧斯卡」頒獎典禮於本月下旬舉行，我們想將二月設為#美國電影月，通過每日的關於美國影片和美國電影行業的帖子討論美國電影。
美國電影，是指由美國製片商在美國製作的電影，其對世界電影史有著深遠的影響。美國電影產業歷史可分為四個主要階段：無聲電影時期、經典的好萊塢時期，新好萊塢時期和當代電影(1980年以後)。自從1920年代，美國電影行業的獲利便為世界之冠，尤其南加州的好萊塢，為全球數一數二的最佳電影製作地。
#US Movie Month – American Films
With Hollywood’s annual Academy Awards or 「Oscars」 award ceremony later this month, we would like to dedicate February as #USMovieMonth to discuss American films through daily posts about American movies and the U.S. film industry.
American films refers to the movies produced by American producers in the United States which had had a profound impact on the history of world film. The history of the American film industry can be divided into four main stages: the silent film era, the classical Hollywood era, the new Hollywood era and the contemporary movie era (1980 onwards). Since the 1920s, the American film industry's profit has been the highest in the world, especially films from Hollywood in South California, which is the one of the best film making areas in the world.
