Are we on the cusp of a New Hollywood 2.0 because of these streaming companies that give interesting filmmakers huge budgets with full creative freedom?
>New Hollywood refers to a movement in American film history from the mid-to-late 1960s (Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate) to the early 1980s (Heaven's Gate, One from the Heart) when a new generation of young filmmakers came to prominence in United States, influencing the types of films produced, their production and marketing, and the way major studios approached film-making. In New Hollywood films, the film director, rather than the studio, took on a key authorial role.
>The 1950s and early 1960s saw a Hollywood dominated by musicals, historical epics, and other films that benefited from the larger screens, wider framing and improved sound. However, audience share continued to dwindle, and had reached alarmingly low levels by the mid-1960s. Several costly flops, and failed attempts to replicate the success of The Sound of Music, put great strain on the studios.
>In the 1960s, 'Old Hollywood' was rapidly losing money. European films, both arthouse and commercial (especially the Commedia all'italiana, the French New Wave, and the Spaghetti Western) and Japanese cinema were making a splash in United States — the huge market of disaffected youth seemed to find relevance and artistic meaning in movies like Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup, with its oblique narrative structure and full-frontal female nudity.
>The desperation felt by studios during this period of economic downturn, and after the losses from expensive movie flops, led to innovation and risk-taking, allowing greater control by younger directors and producers. Therefore, in an attempt to capture that audience which found a connection to the "art films" of Europe, the studios hired a host of young filmmakers and allowed them to make their films with relatively little studio control.

I'd say so, Bong Joon Ho said that after everyone turned down his script for Okja Netflix gave him a 50 million budget and full creative freedom
Amazon/Netflix are pretty much the new filmmaker patronage, and they're only getting bigger.

I fucking hate Netflix but it's hard not to admire this. Unless this just proves Hollywood right and movies start to get shitty without producer input.

As long as they keep the filmmakers the fuck away from coke and LSD, they should be fine.

No, because none of the people who are being given opportunities by the new creative avenues have sufficiently unique or interesting ideas to create another "new hollywood" movement.
Basically the entire creative industry is slowly burning to the ground because how its being proven that social media is several times more than most people need for entertainment.

All Netflix is doing is making brand-new mistakes with its exclusively-SJW programming. HoC was the closest they had to an original "hit" but they fucked up and decided to make it last forever.
