EASY RIDER AND THE HOLLYWOOD RENAISSANCE

THE HOLLYWOOD RENAISSANCE DEFINED Late-1960s to mid- to late-1970s Also called “The New Hollywood”The New Hollywood Characterized by studio production/distribution of significant number of films seen as innovative in content and style Social context of frequent social upheavals (Vietnam protests, civil rights movements, student protests on college campuses, assassination of political and civil rights figures) that led to wide-spread questioning of “American” values and identity. Made by directors with film school training and thus familiarity with film technique, history styles and theory (Coppola, Malick, Milius, Scorsese, Schrader, Lucas, Spielberg)

STYLE AND CONTENT OF HR FILMS Alienation/rebellion of young that frequently ends in death or disillusionment Frank depictions of sex, violence and drug use Political and social critique “It is possible, at the risk of some simplification, to divide the social context of the Hollywood Renaissance into two main currents. One... celebrates aspects of 1960s rebellion. The other explores or manifest elements of a darker mood in which alienation leads toward fear and disillusion” (Geoff King. New Hollywood Cinema: An Introduction. 18).New Hollywood Cinema: An Introduction Narratives that incorporated some characteristics of art cinema Handheld, moving camera Jump cuts
