Don’t tell me the 30s are the Golden Age of Hollywood
\nwhen the real magic was when the 60s auteurs came of age.<\/p>\n
Those 30s musicals were glamorous escapades designed
\nto make the poor forget they were poor; they paid
\nfive cents a ticket to pretend they were Fred and Ginger<\/p>\n
In the 60s, directors threw out the norms and the pretenses of
\nold Hollywood and they electrified the screen with fresh ideas.<\/p>\n
Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Coppola, Freidken, Peckinpah, and others
\ntook their knowledge and influences to places no one predicted.<\/p>\n
Before the studios knew what was happening, someone must have agreed
\n“Don’t tell me the ’30s are the Golden Age of Hollywood.”<\/p>\n
In the 60s, directors threw out the norms and the pretenses of
\nwhat old Hollywood thought was a story and made indelible changes.
\nSome drew influence from their predecessors in their own lauded films.<\/p>\n
Others drew a line in the sand and refused to commit
\nanything to celluloid that wasn’t part of their personal battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
