On the one hand, musicals (Sound of Music), World War II war films (The Great Escape) and historical epics (Dr. Zhivago) drove the adult market. Rebellion, sex and individual-minded heroes drove the youth market (Easy Rider, Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate.) By the end of the decade, the tastes of the counter-culture youth had won. Anti-war film (Catch-22), flawed characters as heroes (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) and sexual issues (Midnight Cowboy, Butterfield 8, Valley of the Dolls) dominated the screen. Question 1: What are some of the benefits of the Boomer generation's rebellion and changes to Hollywood in the 1960s?

1ST PART Globalization has certainly shaken up some ancient societies in the world. Film has been a huge influence on social change. It’s easy for Americans to note the influence Hollywood has had on, say, Europe, the Middle East, or Asia, but Bollywood and Chinese film frequently outsell American films, and most formerly American studios (like Paramount and MGM) are actually part of multi-national corporations now. *1) How has globalization changed American film?

1. In a certain sense, cinema began as an optical “trick.” The initial appeal of the Zoetrope, for example, was that it made flat, static images appear to move. Film, therefore, has always owed a debt to the public’s fascination with special effects. As we move through the 1930s, King Kong, the Wizard of Oz, even Dracula, all rely on the appeal of making the impossible seem real. Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to special effects. Think about it; have you ever seen a film or part of a film that was heavy with miraculous special effects that you found “silly,” or actually bored you? Name that film, the special effects presented, and try to explain why it bored you. Why do special effects sometimes spoil a film?

Perhaps the most important artistic trend of the early twentieth century was labeled modernism. Summarize some of the principal tenets of modernism, and specify how these ideas influenced the development of the French Impressionism (or German Expressionist [Ch. 5] or Soviet Montage [Ch. 6]) movement in film. 2. What created the problems confronting French film production between 1918 and 1928? Identify the three primary factors as identified in the text, and summarize the effects of each of these causes. 3. The formal qualities of French Impressionism derived partly from the directors' beliefs about the cinema as an art form. What were these beliefs? Explain how the Impressionists' theories on the cinema translated to their films with regard to either cinematography or editing. 4. Why did French Impressionism decline as a unified filmmaking movement in the late 1920s? What was the role of pressures from both inside and outside the movement in this decline? 5. Compare the activities of the Soviet film industry during the War Communism period (1918-1920) and during the years of the New Economic Policy (1921-1924). What difficulties arose for the industry during War Communism, and how were these problems remedied or addressed by the New Economic Policy? 6. What were the objectives of Constructivism, and which of those aims were especially important to the development of the Montage movement in film? 7. How did the theories on filmmaking advanced by Lev Kuleshov, Dziga Vertov, and Sergei Eisenstein differ with regard to editing? 8.

What were the reasons for the nickelodeon's popularity—what advantages did this type of exhibition venue offer to both theater owner and patron? 11. In what ways did the motion picture industry in the late 1900s attempt to make films more prestigious and film going more respectable? What pressures were producers and exhibitors responding to? 12. How did the animated film develop during the early twentieth century? What types of animation techniques did the earliest animators use? Give examples of specific animators or from specific films.
