Answer the Big Course Question(s) in at least 800 words Have movies changed dramatically since 1965? Or basically remained the same? Are movies a mostly mainstream affair, reflecting dominant values and remaining conservative in form and style? Or have movies radically changed over time to reflect the greater complexities of our globalized world and of American society? Are films primarily a business, an art form, or a medium where social, political, and cultural struggles are acted out–or tamped down? What's most important in driving these changes or lack of change? Changes in American society, changes in how the movie industry is organized, 'internal' changes in film style and storytelling, or 'external' shocks and influences like technology, or globalization? In this essay, you will do the following. Make an historical argument about how films have changed or not since (roughly) 1965 and why. Discuss at least ONE of the key dimensions of film: economic: films as a money-making enterprise; social & political: how films address social issues like gender, race, social class, equality, etc.; cultural and artistic: films as an art form with changing styles. Preferably connect at least TWO dimensions, e.g. 'These social issues are challenging from the point of view of commercial success.' 'Film is a business, even when it comes to art.' 'Film genres and styles change over time to reflect changes in society and technology.' 'Film genres and styles reflect social changes.' 'When film genres and stories change over time, there is still a conservative element, something that does NOT change.' And the like. Discuss at least FOUR films, one from outside the U.S. One MAY be a documentary. One MUST be a foreign film. Use at least FOUR critical resources. Use at least FOUR primary historical resources. At some point in your essay analyze at least FOUR pieces of textual evidence: story: what happens; genre: western, sci-fi, horror, etc.; dialogue: what the characters say; music or sound: e.g., explosions, swelling strings, a song (like "I Put a Spell on You"); framing: showing something in close vs. far away; editing: cutting from this shot to that shot; sets, costumes, makeup; special effects. At least FOUR items in your blog post must be audio/visual: clips, still images or screen shots, publicity stills, posters or other promotional material, or interviews. Film is an audiovisual medium, and the internet lets us mix media easily, so it makes sense to not limit yourself to prose.
