Abstract

In the years between the two world wars, the cinema already had a meaning that no one could deny. This fact was highlighted by some of the most important Romanian journalists of the era to which we are referring. However, while some journalists saw in cinema the gentlest way in which thoughts and feelings could be communicated, others talked about the negative influence it had, for example, on children. Some of the journalists who were part of the second category even believed that the cinema is the one who reveals to honest people the ways towards depravation. In order to accomplish this paper there were analyzed articles published in publications such as: Flori de crin/Lily flowers, Revista generală a învățământului/General Education Review, Revista Fundațiilor Regale/The Royal Foundation Magazine, Curentul familiei/Family Current, Gândirea/Thought, Adevărul/Truth, etc.
