Il 06 Ottobre del 1927, 83 anni fa esatti, usciva nelle sale americane il film che cambiò radicalmente il mondo del cinema, segnando così la nascita del cinema sonoro sincronizzato: Il cantante di Jazz (The Jazz singer) . Diretto da Alan Crosland, il film in realtà non è interamente sonoro: se si escludono infatti i 9 brani interamente musicati e cantati, le parti con dialoghi si riassumono in poco più di un minuto. Nonostante ciò il film venne sin da subito considerato il punto di svolta per un nuovo cinema, riscuotendo un enorme successo di pubblico, quest'ultimo attratto enormemente dalla novità.
Il cantante Jazz was nominated for an Oscar for best adaptation, while Warner Bros. by the Academy received a special award "for having produced the pioneering and exceptional first sound film, which has revolutionized the film industry" (source Wikipedia) .
In the film there are many stereotypes, one out of all the idea of \u200b\u200bblacks seen as funny characters, only capable of performing in hilarious gags. Just the star Al Jolson, he performed on stage with her face overly made-up black and her lips painted white (figure taken in a well-known candy spot of the '80s, you remember?)
