It is simply wrong to mark "Jaws" as the begining of the "New Hollywood" era. The Graduate (67), Bonny and Clyde (67) and Easy Rider (69) are the movies in which the new critical character and style of the young generation were first introduced.
They never said Jaws maked the beginning of New Hollywood. They said it marked the beginning of the blockbuster. I do agree though that they're not very clear on this point, not least because Jaws is the first New Hollywood film they refer to, rather than Easy Rider, Bonnie & Clyde etc
Can anyone help me, i have an essay that requires me to talk about two films "That encapsulate the end of the new Hollywood" I'm really struggling to find books/articles that focus on the 'end' of new hollywood. I cant think of films that fully encapsulate the end of new hollywood as everyone has different views on the 'end'. Any help would be appreciated.
Apocalypse Now and Raging Bull are seen as artistic high-points for the end of the movement, whereas Heaven's Gate was seen as a commercial low-point that put an end to this movement. Read Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, very informative about this whole era
How To Watch Movies Firstly, I’d like to say I’m by no means an expert on film and visual culture but my essay focused on the conditions available to create the “new Hollywood era”. I likened it to an eco system that once unbalanced would be destroyed, and that if the films created during that time were replicated in another era they wouldn’t have been as iconic. I argued this because of the restrictions that forced Hollywood to change from the 1950’s style, financial issues forced studios to hire younger, cheaper directors. This is pivotal as they looked towards Universities and these fresher directors took over with better technical training after studying film and many of them obviously being trained by Roger Corman( massive part of my essay dedicated to how Corman influenced directors thus fathering the new Hollywood movement). These directors made cheap films aimed at a more youthful audience. That, coupled with societal changes happening within the 60’s onwards helped create that magic sweet spot of new Hollywood. I then concluded with an argument about money flooding back into Hollywood gave licence for lawyers and money men to influence once again. The directors lost some freedom and eventually the era of blockbuster took over with a focus on advertisements and sales rather than artistic, niche films. Really hope this makes at least some, sense, I haven’t had the chance to read my essay back so it’s largely from memory! Also written the comment on my phone so it’s not ideal.
@@derriet6806 That's quite interesting. I'd never heard about the financial situation that helped make it possible. What I've read (which is incomplete) suggests a lot of influence from the French New Wave. The Blockbuster Era is a bit of a bummer, but the movies that came out of that first wave of blockbusters in the 80s weren't half bad. There's still a lot of really good stuff in the 80s. I definitely have to learn a little more about Roger Corman, I didn't realize he was so influential.

I'd actually consider Jaws s the END of the era, not the beginning...
+5Xum jaws can be considered the start of the blockbuster cinema how we know it today.
Exactly... and the "new Hollywood" era is the era from Bonnie and Clyde on, it starts to end with jaws, but fully ends with One Through The Heart...
They never said Jaws maked the beginning of New Hollywood. They said it marked the beginning of the blockbuster. I do agree though that they're not very clear on this point, not least because Jaws is the first New Hollywood film they refer to, rather than Easy Rider, Bonnie & Clyde etc
and those films were ADULT movies..
It bgan w Bonnie& Clyde. 1967 masterpiece
You took the New Hollywood completely wrong. It ends when the blockbusters come, not begins.
Yes.
Young punk,do your homework
Would love to see an extended documentary in this style. Like one hour per era of cinema.
Yep, you guys have not mention any influence from Stanley Kubrick. WHY?! I am so disappointed.
Stanley Kubrick is probably our favorite director. We likely will have a series on just him alone one day!
YES!!! Can't wait!!! Thanks for responding me.
Love the opening music, it's really catchy!
Jaws was not Spielberg’s first studio release. It was The Sugarland Express.
Good analysis
“To excape”
Cheers from Poland!
Pan your camera right.
Not only has this series been super informative, but it has introduced me to a lot of amazing films that I would have otherwise been unable to enjoy.
We are glad we opened the door to new movies! :)

Hi, I appreciate the reply so much! I have completed my essay already but I did analyse Easy Rider & Raging Bull.
@@derriet6806 What was your conclusion about the films that ended New Hollywood? Anything interesting?
