Thanks for this wonderful breakdown. The Parallax View is more relevant than EVER today. I'm making a short film based on the recruitment sequence & your deep dive is an excellent roadmap to replicating the tension that this movie holds throughout. THANK YOU!!!!!
The score by Michael Small is kind of, sort of, inspired by the improvisational pieces that Keith Jarrett released at around the same time. The most famous is, of course, his Köln Concert from 1975. But his earlier Bremen and Lausanne concerts were released already in 1973 and may very well have been heard by Mr Small. Thanks for a good breakdown of this minor masterpiece by Alan J. Pakula. Cheers 🍺
The excessive analysis of films in this way may create a film-maker's mythology but is reducing their art to post facto trivia. Question: does it increase or reduce the probability of another great film being made this Century?
Any part of history can be reduced to trivia sure, but all of these videos I make are for specific classes. And haven’t there been great films made post-1974? There are loads, right? 🐷
At 1:42 I couldn't help but notice you missed the most important factor for the paranoia that would follow... The JFK assassination followed by further assassinations of political figures. The 'guilt' you speak of is a modern interpretation and has no bearing on the early 70s political thrillers. Also, you give the impression that movies were popular again during this New Hollywood Wave when cinema attendances were still hugely down. It was really the _Godfather_ that revived the U.S. cinema again in 1972. Also, I feel I need to correct you on the source of the movie. It was based on the book by Loren Singer which revolved around the JFK assassination and the surviving people who witnessed it caught on film. Yes, the plot was changed to incorporate Watergate and the break-in, but it still has the same title and elimination of key witnesses to something they shouldn't have seen.

@@libbylang29 what a sweet and thoughtful comment. Much appreciated! Good luck with your film; hopefully I’ll get to watch it sometime. 🎥🎥🎥
An excellent video on one my favourite films. Michael Small was a truly unique composer and practically created the soundtrack to the paranoid 70s.
Thanks for checking it out! ☀️⭐️🎱
Best explanation so far about Juxtaposition in films. (Better than my prof)
Thank you!
Really interesting video, thanks 👍
Thanks for checking out my channel I really appreciate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️

@@stefanconradsson very interesting! 😀 thanks for checking out my channel!
That was a great vid. I could have easily watched another 90 minutes but your clear handling of the material made that unnecessary.
Thank you for the compliment! Thanks for checking out my channel 🦁🎊🪐
Great video on an amazing film!
Thank you very much!
TRES Heavy!

Indeed!
