Hollywood up until 1967 was filled with epics, musicals, and overall clean-cut movies. The the violent 60s came with Vietnam, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Sexual Movement. Then several pauper filmmakers, including the likes of Scorsese, Bogdanovich, Coppola, and even Spielberg decided to capture the zeitgeist with films that contain sex, drugs, violence, and rock n' roll and blew the lid off Hollywood.It examines the downfall of Hollywood in the mid 1960s, when epic films such as CLEOPATRA flopped causing studios to go to near bankruptcy. Then when the late 1960s came and the world became more turbulent, young filmmakers, inspired by European New Wave films, made their own films their own way, sold them to struggling studios, and made a lot of money.It begins with BONNIE & CLYDE and ends when the summer blockbuster took over. EASY RIDER, RAGING BULLS, based on the book by Peter Biskind, effectively shows the real Hollywood in the 1970s, when directors became auteur, forever changing Hollywood. Now that spirit is lost, but this documentary can bring back nostalgic memories.
