Hollywood y el Star System	Hollywood and the Star System
En Estados Unidos, el cine tuvo un éxito arrollador, por una peculiar circunstancia social: al ser un país de inmigrantes, muchos de los cuales no hablaban el inglés, tanto el teatro como la prensa o los libros les estaban vedados por la barrera idiomática, y así el cine mudo se transformó en una fuente muy importante de esparcimiento para ellos.	In the United States, cinema had an overwhelming success due to a peculiar social circumstance: being a country of immigrants, many of whom did not speak English, not only the theater but also press and books were prohibited to them by the language barrier, and so silent films became a very important source of entertainment for them.
Viendo las perspectivas de este negocio, y basándose en su patente sobre el kinetoscopio, Thomas Alva Edison intentó tomar el control de los derechos sobre la explotación del cinematógrafo.	Seeing the prospects of this business, and based on in his patent over the kinetoscope, Thomas Alva Edison tried to take control of the rights of the use of the cinematograph.
El asunto no solo llegó a juicio, de Edison contra los llamados productores independientes, sino que se libró incluso a tiro limpio.	The case not only arrived at court, with Edison against the so-called independent producers, but even had a good shot at winning.
Como consecuencia, los productores independientes emigraron desde Nueva York y la costa este, donde Edison era fuerte, hacia el oeste, recientemente pacificado.	As a result, the independent produces emigrated from New York and the East Coast, where Edison held power, to the West, recently pacified.
En un pequeño poblado llamado Hollywood, encontraron condiciones ideales para rodar: días soleados casi todo el año, multitud de paisajes que pudieran servir como locaciones, y la cercanía con la frontera de México, en caso de que debieran escapar de la justicia.	In a small town called Hollywood, they found ideal conditions for filming: sunny days almost the year-round, a multitude of landscapes that could serve as locations, and proximity to the Mexican border, in case they had to escape from the law.
Así nació la llamada Meca del Cine, y Hollywood se transformó en el más importante centro cinematográfico del mundo.	Thus was the so-called Mecca of Cinema born, and Hollywood transformed into the most important center of cinematography in the world.
