Read the passage and choose the best answer.(1) The world's first film was shown in 1895 by two French brothers, Louis and Auguste Lumiere. Although it only consisted of short, simple scenes, people loved it and films have been popular ever since. The first films were silent, with titles on the screen to explain the story. Soon the public had their favorite actors and actresses and, in this way the first film stars appeared. In 1927, the first "talkie", a film with sound, was shown and from then on, the public would only accept this kind of film. Further improvements continued, particularly in America, which produced 95% of all films. With the arrival of television in 1950s, fewer people went to see films, but in recent years audiences have grown again. More countries have started to produce films that influence film-making and there are currently many national film industries. 27. What is NOT true about Louis and Auguste Lumiere? A.
