Dynamics of the Film Industry Paper

The film industry has always been influenced by many of the current world events; the

case was the same in the 1970s so much so that films are rich in cultural, social and business

history of a country such as America. The films that were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s

where recreations of past war films that relived the experience of Americans in the two world

wars and the war in Vietnam. Films that came later on in the 1970s and early 1980s showcased a

change in genre of film that was demanded and audience preferences. The films took a sharp turn

from the political films that dominated earlier eras of film production, the 1970s ushered in the

onset of blockbuster, action, comedy and science fiction movies into the film world (Cynthia C.

Scott, 2008).

For some people this new school of thought in the production of film industry was a

public betrayal of the real issues affect America during this time. This realization pushed film

makers to making film that focus on the crisis gripping the world during this time the cold war,

the nuclear energy rush by nations, social uprising against oppression and technological

advancements. These world events sparked paranoia and worry in the hearts of many Americans

and hence these things became popular themes in the 1970s film industry (d.staff, 2006).

The film industry was not only uplifted by new technological improvements in film

making, but also helped with attracting more and more people to viewing movies. The picture

quality and sound revolutions that to place during the 70s, 80s and 90s set the bar for future film

making in America. Movie studios such as Paramount picture we well known for their great

films and ability to produce films that cut across age restrictions. The themes, those were popular

in the late 80s where propagated in the 90s resulting from their great reception by film viewer.
