1939 is considered by many to be the greatest year in Hollywood history. It is true that just looking at the Oscar nominations this year, the star-studded list, "Gone with the Wind" sweeping the awards ceremony is an expected ending - maybe Clark · Gable failed to get the best actor disappointing some people. While we say the Oscars love mid-sized good movies, history also shows that every few years there is always a coveted mega-block crown crowned. Therefore, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", "Exotic Mandarin Ducks", "Between Men and Mice", "The Wizard of Oz", "Flying Over Mount Guanshan", "Wuthering Heights"... each of them is a classic in the history of the shadows, but when it comes to "Oscar picture", that is really not as good as "Gone with the Wind". The emergence of lens coating technology in the late 1930s improved the light-collecting ability of the lens, making photographers dare to close the aperture and create a greater depth of field. Huang Zongzhan did this very early on. Gaudio had audaciously created exaggerated foregrounds of proportional distortion when he made "The Merry-go-round." This stylistic tendency towards wide angles and depth of field was reflected in almost half of the nominated films at the time, until Greg Toland won for Wuthering Heights.
