Description: |
A study of some of the classics of American film from the 1960s and beyond, a time of extraordinary excitement and creativity, when the old studio system was breaking up and a new generation of American filmmakers -- Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas, Nichols and a host of others -- began to develop new language to reflect the changing social and emotional realities of American life.
Films may include The Graduate, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Jaws and others. In addition to discussing the thematic implications of the work, students learn the basic components and terminology of film. |
