1) I am a film. On one hand, I had all the ingredients of the spirit of the 1970s. I was shot in a
gritty, on-location style by a writer-actor, and I tell the story of a down-and-out boxer who loses
his match in a split decision. Yet in a way he wins, because he accomplishes his goal. On the
surface, I seemed like a typical 1970s film, with my seemingly somber ending. However, the
ending is filled with an air of inspiration that would typify much cinema in the 1980s. Which film

2) I am a film. As audiences craved a dose of escape from problems drummed up on screen in
the earlier part of the 1970s, I seemed to have just the right mix of what the viewers needed at
the time. Unlike director Spielberg's escapist blockbusters which took place in the present day,
my director's vision transported audiences away from any possible connections with real life.

4) I am a genre. Having lain quiet for several years, I began experiencing a revival with
classic-style sheriffs, outlaws, and showdowns being recreated in films during the 1980s.
Director Clint Eastwood helped cement his status as an acting and directing legend with his now
classic film in my genre, which won the Best Picture Academy Award in 1992. What genre am I?

3) I am a decade. During my years, directors were becoming mindful of the fact that, with the
birth of VCRs and cable television, the large theater screen was no longer the only place where a
film would be seen. Wide shots that played well on large 50-foot theater screens no longer came
across on TV sets. As a result, and to compete with viewers ability to jump back and forth in a
film with the remote control, we saw an increase in the use of close-ups and the pace of editing.

5) I am a filmmaker. I gained fame in the New German Cinema during the 1970s. The "road film"
form served my purposes well, as I sought to explore the cultural and spiritual alienation of
wandering characters in my work. Oftentimes, my heroes just sit quietly, contemplating
unhurried moments or meandering aimlessly through cities crowded with American influences.

6) I am a filmmaker. I got my start in the independent film scene in the early 1980s. The notion of
seeing America through the eyes of an outsider or immigrant is typical of my directorial style.
The pace of my films is normally quite slow, and I often employ the use of long takes. As I
explore small details about my characters via minimal editing, it is their in-between moments
that I enjoy exploring most. Who am I?

8) I am a country in a particular decade. When a new leader came to power and initiated a much
more open form of government, censorship began to lessen and offer citizens a less intrusive,
more progressive form of leadership. A film like director Tengiz Abuladze's Repentance is
indicative of the type of movie which would begin to be allowed to be made here, after so many
decades of the strict suppression of material that was anything but flattering to the state. When

7) I am a country in a particular decade. With the sparkle of my royal couple's engagement and
wedding dominating the media, many of my country's popular films tended to ignore the discord
and friction brewing in the working class as a result of many people being out of work. However,
running counter to this trend was a more progressive, independent-minded cinema with films by
directors like Mike Leigh, Steven Frears, and Ken Loach. Normally set in the present day and in
cities (rather than amid the picturesque countryside of bygone eras), these films had an ethos of
rebellion, stood up for the rights of the working class, and explored intimate, often harsh
personal stories. Where and when am I?

9) I am a director. I was concerned with political issues during the dark days of the 1970s and
1980s in my country. My early films were documentaries, but they verged on narrative fiction as
well. This approach would come to help me achieve a sense of realism when I turned to fiction
later on in my career. The acclaimed television series I directed consisted of ten parts, each
based on one of the Ten Commandments. It takes place in a forlorn apartment building and has a
harsh, austere visual style that reflects the gloomy subject matter. Who am I?

10) I am a filmmaker. In the 1990s I was known for an innovative, slapdash use of jumbled
timelines, narrative, and kitsch, a style that was a product of changing times for film viewers.
Because viewing at home in the 1990s was full of potential distractions, I tended to supply not
only the film but also the distractions which would otherwise cause the viewer to lose interest.
One of my best-known films of the 1990s features visually prominent references to cinema,
television, and music icons like James Dean, Buddy Holly, Ed Sullivan, Zorro, and Marilyn
Monroe. Who am I?

11) I am a film. I broke new ground with the use of some of the very first computer-generated, or
"CG," effects on screen. Viewers of the day were amazed with the sophistication of the conjured
images playing out alongside live-action characters. Even though to viewers' eyes today the
action I depicted in outer space does not appear realistic, I was responsible for laying the
groundwork for future, more believable digital effects What film am I?

13) I am a filmmaker. My films exude an acclaimed sense of reality. Having started off as an actor
myself, I realized the importance of researching the characters I write via improvisation. My now
famous method has always been to bat around ideas for characters and situations with my
actors and have them take notes while improvising in character in real life. We then boil down all
of their experiences into films that are incredibly rich in realistic detail, thanks largely not to
what audiences see but to what they sense. Who am I?

12) I am a particular place and time during which viewers were experiencing their media more
and more as a visual browse. As the Internet rose to popularity, people jumped and meandered
from one scene or website to the next, spending hours on end being entertained without any
narrative progression or story. Viewers were able to access old films and television shows, and
popular storylines and characters from decades past re-entered the public consciousness.
Producers recognized the profitability of remaking already proven titles, and old TV staples like
The Brady Bunch and The Fugitive were made into films to capitalize on audiences' desire to
re-experience yesteryear on the big screen. Where and when am I?

14) I am a film. My director used an unreliable narrator and a puzzle-film style to lead my story to
three different endings, with a narrative structure similar to that of a video game. Each time my
lead character encountered a problem or made a mistake, the problem could be corrected the
next time, much like a player learning new tricks to adjust and make it through a video game
world. Furthermore, whenever an adjustment was made, different fates awaited random
passersby in strings of flash-forward snapshots. What film am I?

15) 15. I am a film. My production design is stunning, and my slow-moving camera captures
everything the audience needs to know in long, slow takes. Instead of cut-aways, my
mise-en-scène tells the story in slow panning shots that reveal plush, rich colors and a visually
loaded production design. My shots push the viewer to luxuriate in the extended time my
director provides in order to soak up the incredibly rich, vibrant, and intricate sets and the
vulgar, nasty rants of the violent, bullying lead villain. What film am I?

17) I am a filmmaker. In my country, filmmakers experienced a liberalization of governmental
restrictions as a feeling of freedom slowly began to take hold. I rose to lead something of a film
revolution in the late 1950s and 1960s, as I made films which explored topics such as politics,
courage, and loss in the extended aftermath of World War II. My work, although probing for
clarity amid socio-political confusion, also tended to reflect on the nature of life and art. In one of
my films, an intense lead character lines up glasses of vodka along a bar and lights them all, in
salute to fallen comrades. One of my most famous films, made in 1981, is blunt in its attitude
towards governmental control. Its message of the need for citizens to stand united made it one
of the bravest cinematic efforts of the times. I also became a senator in the parliament of my
country during the 1980s, where I felt I could create even more sweeping change. Who am I?

16) I am a country. Despite a turn by modern, younger filmmakers in the 1980s towards an
examination of contemporary society with a comedic flair, the more traditional, seasoned work of
a legendary master filmmaker continued to look back at my culture and history through a certain
popular genre. When this master attempted to make a new film in that genre, the studios—wary
of competition from television—did not want to risk the production costs associated with the
scale this master had become accustomed to. In a stroke of luck, big-name American filmmakers
decided to help finance the rest of the film. Which country am I?

18) I am a filmmaking technique. When directors have used me, a near-documentary visual
aesthetic is usually achieved. The Italian Neorealists pioneered me in the 1940s, and the
here-and-now quality I communicate gained particular popularity during the 1970s. Often used in
conjunction with long takes, I have a built-in knack for creating an effective, truthful story
moment or stirring up feelings of realism in viewers. What technique am I?

19) I am a filmmaking technique. I started appearing during the 1980s as directors started
shortening scenes and cutting more often to close-ups. With screen time freed up, studios
started to capitalize on the opportunity to fill scenes in. With so much screen realism prevalent
during the 1960s and 1970s, I all but disappeared from films, until the 1980s when MTV was born.
Indeed, I was something that had been sorely lacking on the big screens for many years. What

20) I am a filmmaker. My breakout hit in the late 1980s utilized an over-the-top, often outrageous
approach to style, action, and dialog, and its storyline played like a soap opera gone wild. It was
also the highest grossing film in North America in 1989. Although my later work turned to a more
serious, dramatic style, my films of the 1980s tended to follow off-beat, sexually adventurous
characters and employ an often erotic yet fantastical approach to story. Many critics have
compared my work in this era to the "screwball" comedies of the 1930s Golden Age, as my
characters often deliver lines in an overly-dramatic, almost comedic style. Who am I?
