Sažetak
New Hollywood era was a period in Hollywood history that lasted approximatelly from 1967 to 1980. The era began as filmmakers' reaction to significant changes in Hollywood production policies (Hollywood Antitrust Law in 1948 and the dissmisal of The Production Code in 1968), which resulted in diminished power of film studios and loosening of restrictions on what could be shown in film. Because of this changed climate, the filmmakers were, for the first time in Hollywood history, permitted to make mainstream films that broke the rules of censorship that were present in the previous, Classic Hollywood era. This resulted in films rich with innovative elements, such as the depiction of explicit violence and nudity, moral ambiguity, anti-establishment statements, and exploration of human sexuality. The era produced some of the most important films in Hollywood history, such as The Godfather (1972), Taxi Driver (1976), and Chinatown (1974), among many others. New Hollywood saw its end when major film studios once again took the pivotal role in the process of filmmaking, and this marked the beginning of the Blockbuster era, which is in full swing until today. However, relatively short New Hollywood era left an indelible mark in Hollywood history and its legacy can be spotted in numerous contemporary films.
