Class Thirteen Subject Film History II Reading Personal web-based research (see below) Feature film Choose one of these films to watch: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Bonnie & Clyde (1967, villainous protagonists) In the Heat of the Night (1967, racism) Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967, racism) Easy Rider (1969, counter culture, drugs) The Wild Bunch (1969, gratuitous violence) Midnight Cowboy (1969, Rated X) Night of the Living Dead (1968, violence/gore) Harold & Maude (1971, intergenerational romance) Professor’s Notes All of the films listed above are considered part of the explosive New American Cinema that changed the face of Hollywood filmmaking forever. You might have seen a few (if not more) of them – I’m sure you’ve heard of a couple. These films came along during the most tumultuous time in American film history: the studios were collapsing and turning to young directors to try and appeal to young viewers, the country was roiled with civil rights and countercultural fervor, and the new Motion Picture rating system was created allowed for far more gratuitous content. Pick one of the films above and watch it with an eye for the kind of revolutionary style/content that it brought to the medium. Afterwards, do some of your own research on the film – go to Wikipedia, do some Googling, and find out more about the film and it’s specific moment in time. That research will prepare you well for the forum this week.
