I’M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT MOVIES
ANALYSIS – New Hollywood
As you probably already know, the criteria for your next analysis is to find a film that mimics the hallmarks of those made from roughly 1967 – 1975 (defined as the New Hollywood) and what is often referred to as the Golden Age of Filmmaking. What you want to look for in your movie is listed here:
Demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of the quintessential New Hollywood filmmakers (approximately 1967 – 1975) by comparing the hallmark styles and techniques of those pictures (use One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest or The Graduate) with a relatively current (released in the last three years) film. Some of the things to look for would be:
- Theme of rebellion
- A hero fighting the system and losing
- Story lines emphasizing the loss of innocence
- “Anti-Heroes†that the audience is rooting for
- “The Establishment†as the enemy
- Downer endings
- Popular music soundtracks
- Often stylish, fast-cutting, consciously showy filmmaking
