From the 1920's to 1948, the movie industry as a whole was at the peak of production and popularity, and the five biggest studios producing them (nicknamed the Big Five) controlled almost every aspect of the industry.

Memory plays the most important role in the The Glass Menagerie, because the figure narrator of the play, Tom Wingfield, tells the story through his own memory. Because the story is told through Tom’s memory, it is therefore non-realistic, sentimental, dimly lighted and takes a poetic licence. What this means is that whilst Tom may omit some details, he may exaggerate other details in accordance with his emotional connection to the memory. However, despite all of this, Tom tells an honest story.

The realistic facet becomes an afterthought against the creativity of the movie maker and viewer alike, and today there is an expectation that the viewer will be “wowed” beyond imagination.

What became known as the Silent Period, 1885-1930, saw immense experimentation and new ideas blossom in terms of film editing which developed as different visionary individuals who still influence how we edit today, shaped it.
