They quote Matthew Bernstein talking about independent production units during the Classical Hollywood period that give rise to the thought that the unanimous shift to postfordism occurred when there were already and all along non-fordist films being made.
What films is this talking about?
Can the shift be clear when and where it started? because it seems like so many lines are blurred and crossed by earlier films acheiveing things that the latter films were called "new" for, and latter films doing what older films were classified as older for.
they note that the classical period not only refers to aesthetic qualities but the Historic role of Hollywood as a template for worldwide filmmaking.
Shouldnt we take into account the impact of hollywood on other countries? Maybe not too much for this class, but it is maybe still a bit relative to see how influencial a film like jaws was on other countrie's films?
Question for the Timeline drawn in Class.
Do Bordwell and Thompson (if thats what that last timeline was refering to) say that there has been no post-modernist films. well, they dont call it modernist films, its just Calssical style with innovations. But do they not think that films have changed since 1960 in a more drastic way? what do they say for the whole Film, video-game, books, and other merchandising strategery that is used for films now days?

Re: Bernstein: Let me look at that again, and I'll follow up with another comment.
Re: Hollywood influences: I think Bordwell is agreeing with you, if I understand your comment.
Re: Post-1960 changes: The Bordwell book will describe the changes he sees in narrative and in style. The first half of the book will discuss continuities and changes in narrative and narration. The second half of the book will describe changes in the visual style and the continuity system, which he describes as "intensified continuity."
In a nutshell, they do not agree with other critics and historians about the degree to which the multi-media landscape has changed film form. But that will be at the center of the debate that we will explore over the next few weeks.
