Independent Cinema: Crash Course Film History #12
Рет қаралды 302,131
7 жыл бұрынHollywood was riding high until their formula got to be stale. In places like Italy and France (as well as other places in the world we'll talk about soon) filmmakers were starting to break out of the mold and make daring films that challenged the idea of what movies were and what audiences wanted. In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig takes us through the beginnings of independent cinema.

kinda disappointed you didn't give Italian Neo-Realism and French New Wave each their own episodes.

Guys, did you seriously spent 6 episodes from 1890-1920 but just 3 episodes from 1930-2000? What the hell Crash Course?!
@BlielPol 7 жыл бұрын
Srsly? Neo-realism and Nouvelle Vague condensed into half an episode? Each movement deserved its own installment! Besides that, awesome series! 👍👍👍

How do we go from the Silent Era to New Hollywood and the emergence of Blockbusters in just 2 episodes? I think you've missed a few film movements and eras in between those time periods.
@crashcourse 7 жыл бұрын
You're not wrong. There is a lot that we could talk about and each movement really deserves its own episode (at least). But we have 16 episodes to do all of this and we all felt this was the place to condense when discussing the overall evolution of cinema. BUT, the goal is (much like our History and Lit courses) to revisit ideas, theories, films, genres, and movements in the coming years :) - Nick J.

+CrashCourse: Yes, it's really fun. I'm more into literature than Cinema but this makes me want to investigate more about this topic. This course kind of reminds me to my Art History school clases... Maybe because of the way ideologies and experimentation/politics affect how artist make art and what they're trying to express.

Not specifically, no.

We'd like to do more with animation but just didn't have room for it in this particular series :( - Nick J.

I don't know if anyone who works on the show is on Letterboxd, but I wouldn't mind a recommended viewing list on there - both of films that are directly mentioned in the show (such as, for this episode, Bonnie & Clyde, Easy Rider, and the 400 Blows), but a few other films related to the topic of the episode that are worth watching to further your knowledge on the topic.
@patricksimpson1725 7 жыл бұрын
YES!! Love Letterboxd and this series, would love to see recommended viewing lists. Maybe I'll even make a list myself of all the films they've covered so far with others that I feel fit into the topic. Great idea!

@Gwynncore 6 жыл бұрын
Please do a series on Music History. Also I feel that Independent Film since it's inception has always been sort of more artistically driven than big Hollywood films. Italian Neo-Realism would be a huge influence on Martin Scorsese which can be seen very clearly in Raging Bull.

If he's the person I saw on HFS he's absolutely awesome, it could be very funny to involve him a bit more than just making him be the grumpy director :-D EDIT: Possibly a plot-twist is planned and he says "yes" to something by the end of the season... I should just wait and see hahaha!

Something that would have been interesting to mention is that in the 1950's and early 1960's (in the U.S. at least), children were banned from movie theaters in the summer because of polio. If they wanted to watch something it would have had to been on television.
