Week 5

How were young filmmakers in the late 1960s and early 1970s different from previous generations of filmmakers in terms of the following: how they broke into commercial film making, how their films were financed, and who was in charge of the studios?


Because of the success of Bonnie and clyde and the Graduate, which were directed by young directors, studios began seeking younger directors, producers and other talent to appeal to a younger generation. Most studios were had been bought by conglomerates and would only put out little money for these films.


Give two specific examples of how Part II disappoints the viewer (according to Berliner) and how these disappointments “work” for the film.

the "inevitable disappointment with movie sequels" that the audience has prior to and while viewing the film is due to the nastolgia for the old plot and if that thought is upset the film succeeds.

The films length and confusion led people to link it with the first and say that it was just a continuation of the first film.
