I generally feel the ambition among the producers/directors were a lot higher than of those who work today.

Before, it was viewed as an artistic craftmanship which allowed some experimental attitude. Today, it's a obsessive capitalistic industry in full control of everything, from pre-production to the screen, supported by nonsensical scientific econometrics/semidemographics.

Somewhere in the late 90's it all got lost.

filmmakers do take less risks now. in special effects, in writing, in everything really

sorcerer is pretty laughable, lacks suspense and has no interesting characters (their backstories ruin everything), but the wages of fear is great

>>64542472
the whole wages of fear is better than sorcerer meme is retarded considering the two have entirely different intentions and merely share a premise

A group of the 70's filmakers decided it's better to make blockbusters and go for the big money.
That group included Spielberg and Lucas.
The studios that were a moneymaking industry, decided that that's the best business model and went along.

Megaflops like Heaven's Gate also did their part in convincing them.

Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is the definitive tome on why the 1970's was the greatest decade of American Cinema. it's mandatory reading for ANYONE who loves movies. His companion piece "Down and Dirty Pictures" is also a great read about the 1990's "indie" movement!!!FACT!!!

>Seventies films show a perverse tendency to integrate, in narratively incidental ways, story information and stylistic devices counterproductive to the films’ overt and essential narrative purposes.
Such as?

THE STUDIO SYSTEM WAS NOT CUCCKED, SMALL DIRECTORS HAD BIG MONEY.

>>64541572Minor pleb only, the first half is quite strange, but when all goes together, or on a second watch, it's a very special- and unseen elsewhere- combination
Fucking disgusting plebs

Friedkin was drunk in power and got to do all the insanities that he wanted. Sorcerer is literally a masterpiece and one of the most visceral films ever made.

>teenaged and 20something hipsters praising 70s film

Why do we even let males born after 1980 live?
