The Movie That Changed Movies 

I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!

@Trey Magnus instablaster =)

Oh and Jaws! Don't forget Jaws.

@@hawa0001 how he didn´t mention Jaws is beyond me

@@AdrianForAnApplePie I did mention Jaws, but I forgot Indiana Jones; which was like an Endgame level crossover with the Jaws/Star Wars Spielberg-Lucas collab movie at the time.

Why end specifically in 1983?

@@davodshah8869 it technically ended in 1982, with ET being a gigantic cinematic shift in Hollywood, but I personally include 1983 because of Return of the Jedi capping off the Star Wars trilogy. To sum up why the era created a big cinematic shift in Hollywood, it was the era where creative control shifted from the big studios (who became more interested in making TV shows because it made more money at the time) from these individual directors creating a film with little input from the studios. You get directors like Kubrick, Scorsese, Coppola, Polanski, Spielberg, Leone, Lucas, etc. creating movies with their visions and studios didn't meddle with the product because it lead to greater acclaim and profit. And then movies like Jaws and Star Wars came and made unprecedented amount of financial success, which marked a big cinematic shift where box office success became vastly important to studios than critical success (which we're still seeing the after effects of this shift today) and how the audiences started to deem a movie a success or not. ET marked the end of this era because it became the highest grossing film ever at the time and a similar themed film released in the same year bombed and had poor critical success due to ET's giant shadow it casted over the film industry. That film was The Thing! A classic now and would've been a classic if it was released just 5 years earlier, but because of this, studios saw the profits that could be gained if you make big budget films marketed towards a big audience (ET) versus having a director have complete artistic purity over a film (The Thing). This lead to the era of the "80s action flicks" (with it's trademark cheesy humor) and the "magical family pictures" aka Spielberg-esque movies (you'll see alot of STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS in the promotions).

Same I didn't know the themes would be that deep and the effects would be revolutionary

Bootstrap If you like Bonnie and Clyde you should definitely check out The Getaway (1972).

I’ve watched this move several times and it really has never resonated. I think the often neglected but just as impactful film that really kicked off the New Hollywood era was “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf”.

@@djstarsign "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is a movie that still haunts me. The raw cat and mouse games of George and Martha were revolutionary in American Cinema. The claustrophobic late night party is something I have experienced and I can imagine being trapped in that house with a drunken George, Martha, Nick and Honey.

Same with me, never bothered, for some reason I have always had an idea it was a boring movie, perhaps I should reconsider

and the extreme violence (for those days) in the end.

I had the same feeling.

Can't really agree.. as much as I appreciate the new wave, watching any of Godard's films is a torture.. B&C was much more concise, fast paced and entertaining (and yes, it's a pastiche but a darn good one)

Agreed, but this is a hard concept to understand for Americans. Their exceptionalism, ignorance, and provincialism know no limits.

@@SkipperGeffen Not all new wave movies had the same "godard pace" tho.

I'd say everything in history is like that, not only in film history, but music history, art history, science history, social history, political history etc. It's just a long line of causes and consequences, one thing influencing another perpetually.

phục êwê You could say that but a lot of quality things made today like The Game of Thrones, the Young Pope or Breaking Bad are fresh and original and belong uniquely to now.

@@Flowmotion1000 If you think Game of Thrones is unique, you need to read the Niebelungenlied. If you think Breaking Bad is unique, you need to see The Wire. If you think The Godfather is revolutionary, you need to read Aeschylus. There is nothing new under the sun. Game of Thrones is indeed original, and it is indeed of it's time. But unique? new? no. There is nothing there which is not somewhere else in some form. George R. R. Martin does not have four names. He deliberately styles himself after Tolkien for a reason. He is not trying to reinvent the wheel. He is innovating on the foundations already laid by others. Please stop with this stupid myth that he is rejecting all fantasy which has gone before or tearing down the fantasy genre. Please stop crediting him with inventing something unique and new and different. He didn't. I love his work, but I'm getting real sick of his cult (and from all the evidence I've seen, I think he is too). So cut it out.

That's the nature of history , it wasn't coheasive ; it was madness + it was experiment and it was revolution , caught short , aborted , abided :absorbed..sad mad an drunk : uppers downs an cocane all around . And Batman on t.v...only the not dead get counted.

@@sophiejones7727 Exactly. I thought The Wire was something completely original until I saw Clockers. Basically what Martin did was to translate the history of England into a Low Fantasy world.

Editors are thankless heroes, they never get the credit deserved; and, the editor is one of THE most important pieces to make a movie complete.

Sidney Lumet talks fondly of Dede Allen in his book Making Movies.

@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide So very true.

@daAnder71 true but they're also the ones that create meaning through context. Theres a reason that when directors get fed up with actors they just tell them to stop acting. The editors pick up that slack.

Mark: Dede Allen was amazing. Working with Lumet, Penn, Beatty (Reds), Philip Kaufman, etc... She even edited The Addams Family and The Wiz, not to mention Slaughterhouse-Five with George Roy Hill.

Thank you. While I don't want to diminish Hollywood's role, the title does seem strange when he immediately begins to talk about the French influence. That title is too grandiose when the movie is standing on others shoulders.

*The first Hollywood movie to show the influence of the French New Wave.

yeah i was thinking the exact same thing. This was a disappointing episode.

@Gabriel Couto Haha, good point. "This film changed everything! We copied some other films!"

@@rockets4kids Voting this for best and most accurate title

All of the 70s not just early.

Snl?

How?

@@kostajovanovic3711 did you watch the video?

It's more about Hollywood cinema than American cinema, considering that American cinema was far more wide and complex than just Hollywood movies. And even then, I think there were several noirs that went ahead of its time in the 50s and the 60s.

Let's just keep things in perspective. All styles will have taken some inspiration from previous styles. It is important to understand the evolution of style, and it is also important to understand where that evolution finally culminated into a new style of it's own. Would you say "Homo sapiens only took inspiration from Neanderthal!" French New Wave served it's purpose, as did Bonnie and Clyde. Diminishing Bonnie and Clyde is just snobbish imo

I can understand your point, but I think that nothing culminates in cinema for its own. It just evolves onto the next phase, and I think Bonnie and Clyde is just another stone. Also, while talking about French new wave cinema I'd say that is kind of ingenuous to think that it served its purpose, specially when you see what their filmmakers did in the course of their careers and how they haven't stayed the same (neither Phillipe Garrel, nor Claire Denis, Chantal Akerman, Eric Rohmer, Jean-Claude Brisseau, etc.). Cinema as their history is not such an straight arrow as to label some of their films with flimsy arguments such as "it served their purpose" or "this is a peak in cinema".

@@CarlosMartinez-tt4qp Your point is well taken. I did not mean to imply that French New Wave served its purpose and it is done and gone. It, like Noir continues to influence and inspire. My point is that Bonnie and Clyde was the film that changed both how we film, and how we watch movies. We step into that murky realm of art vs entertainment. They are not mutually exclusive. Compare Baroque to Modern Classical music. Only people with "educated ears" can listen to Modern. French New Wave is more accessible, but not by much.

Ur mom

Kasimir Marks "one of the first" =/= "the first" or is English not your first language?

@@yourenotrelatable The narrator says B&C was "the first."

@@yourenotrelatable Later he said 'not only the first movie to depict the Great Depression as funny'.

@@yourenotrelatable "one of the first "30 years after the first few is not exactly an achievement or a novelty, is it? english is my third language as it happens, but apparently maths is not your strong suit, astrology physicist

truth.

Herfinnur Árnafjall May you reply to this comment with your thoughts on the movie after you’re done watching it?

How did you like it? It's, personally,one of my favorites!😀🌹

tarantino sucks tho

I'll watch it too

Herfinnur Árnafjall why would it be boring? The subject of runaway criminals is interesting enough imo

I think A Fistful of Dollars was earlier, but I’m not sure that movie was first either.

was it released earlier for Patreon backers then?

Fargo is a masterpiece. I often think of that film. It's brilliant in every way: the casting, the acting, the directing, and ESPECIALLY the editing. Not a second is wasted.

Too many Ms in this sentence

@@maxgamesst1 Mo, mot menough; movies mare moving, movement, mand mood.

@@maxgamesst1 I present you to Alliteration. Have fun.

Mmm

Nor have I, but now I wanna seek this out.

@@myradioon It depends on your age. Bonny and Clyde was a highly popular film in its time. It resonated well with the youth. Cool sexy and rebellious with groundbreaking and exciting action. For its time anyway.

@@keyaamabrahams7984 Didn't realize it was that popular. I guess it hasn't aged as popularly as others like "Easy Rider" or "The Graduate". I never got into Warren Beatty is really the thing.

@@myradioon your last sentence makes no sense.

Bonnie's grave is off Webb Chapel Rd near Northwest Highway in Dallas. Crown Point Cemetery.

well, nouvelle vague was inspired by american cinema, so as usual, history is better explained as complex back and forth between hystorical movements

The difference was that Hollywood didn't appreciate Nouvelle Vague. Hollywood only changed after Bonnie and Clyde because it was more accessible to Americans.

@@favillesco going "against" doesn't mean being "inspired" by, but I get your point :)

@@Rrroarr i'm not american and neither my original comment nor this one are trying to "defend" american cinema or hollywood. i'd like to point out that in the history of cinema (or any field really) the vanguard movements are inspired by the movements before them in both the things they differ and the ones they preserve. to know how the nouvelle vague was inspired by american cinema, i recommend checking this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ez_ARK60epw.html

@@favillesco I get it but again, they we're reacting against how Hollywood was making movies, not taking inspiration from... It's a subtle but very significant point. Of course if there wasn't that kind of Hollywood, you wouldn't have had the new wave, and all the consequences in visual media. I wouldn't say "futurismo" was inspired by classic poetry for example, but without it it couldn't have existed. And no Nouvelle vague director ever asked for "Hollywood consultancy" by the way, as Hollywood did later on in this very film, Bonnie and Clide. Thanks for the chat by the way, really enjoying it :)

Sarah Cullen ahahhaah same!

Hahaha I love this

Same, but with Miley Cyrus haha

First yes she is

First....Faye Dunaway was one of my first crushes. She was never prettier than she was in this film.

As much of a revolutionary idea this may be to anti-American film contrarians, art influences itself. German expressionism influenced film noir and Golden Age Hollywood, Golden Age Hollywood, film noir, and Italian neorealism all influence Nouvelle Vague, Nouvelle Vague influences New Hollywood, and so on and so forth.
