This led to tensions between generations as teenagers gained independence. The media often portrayed teenagers negatively, exacerbating moral panics around new youth cultures and behaviors. Films from this era, like Rebel Without a Cause, dealt with themes of teenage rebellion and nonconformity.
Thirtysomething
The document discusses the 1987 TV show Thirtysomething and its portrayal of baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s but had settled into more conventional lifestyles in the 1980s. The pilot episode focuses on Michael and Hope Steadman, who struggle with parenting responsibilities and feeling disconnected from their former ideals. It captures the angst of a generation who protested the establishment but had become the materialistic "yuppies" they once criticized. The show suggests the baby boomers abandoned their goals of change and solidarity, instead embracing self-absorption.
Horror films
Horror films capture humanity's collective fears and provide communal catharsis by reflecting the ideas and fears of the society in which they were created. While the formula of horror films remains largely the same, the specific monsters and threats change over time to symbolize a culture's dominant anxieties, such as conformity during the McCarthy era as seen in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Horror has its roots in ancient myths and provides a safe way to confront real fears through symbolic fantasy threats. The genre comments on issues like racism, war, and technology by addressing what troubles a whole society's unconscious.
70's presentation
During the 1970s, young directors emerged who benefited from relaxed censorship laws to usher in a new wave of American cinema. Studios focused on big blockbusters but it was difficult to predict successes. Jaws (1975) was hugely successful until the release of Star Wars in 1977. Iconic films and characters like Scooby-Doo were created during this period that have endured for decades.
70's presentation
The decade began with Hollywood experiencing financial problems but as restrictions on creativity decreased, young directors known as "movie brats" emerged and helped kick off a renaissance in American filmmaking. Studios focused on big blockbusters hoping a few hits could turn a profit as audiences grew interested in action films with new special effects. Jaws and Star Wars became two of the highest grossing films ever during this era that saw the emergence of new directors and styles of filmmaking.
The roots of working class representation in british
This document discusses the representation of the working class in British popular film and television from the 1960s onward. It notes that films from this era, like Room at the Top and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, drew on existing tropes and stereotypes of northern working class life involving cobbled streets, terraced houses near factories. While the working class was previously marginalized, these "angry young man" films provided more realistic depictions that challenged norms. However, female and working class characters were often depicted negatively or stereotypically. Television shows like Coronation Street also drew from these film conventions but provided a more sympathetic portrayal of working class life.

Genre history

Films explored the dramatic possibilities of adolescence, such as rebellion and young love. In the 1950s, films like The Wild One reflected the era's focus on rock music and rebellion.
