Classic Hollywood movie style and genesis?

Unlike art historical periods like the Gothic, the Renaissance, and the Baroque (the full stylistic characteristics of each of these periods are quite obvious even to the layman), classic Hollywood cinema possesses a style that is, by and large, intangible and difficult for the average viewer to detect. Much of its invisibility is a product of the skillful technique of American cinema, as if it were a storytelling machine. Much like the industrialized, assembly-line production created by Henry?6?1 Ford, and the economically rational way in which automotive products and other consumer goods are produced as much as possible in business, American cinema rapidly evolved into an efficient storytelling mode between 1910-1920, with every aspect of the production operation contributing to the fluidity of the storytelling process.

As a result, stories were told to audiences effortlessly and efficiently. They may seem to have no root, they appear incredibly on the screen, in the movie theater for the audience's real-time consumption and entertainment, and in front of them as if they grew naturally on their own. But in fact, they were created, produced following the classical principles of clarity, simplicity, beauty, order, economy, and coordination. As a result, the classics generally avoided complexity, subjectivity, and over-emotion, striving to achieve the Greek ideal of medenagan, or "without any excess".
