Forum: groupsrv | | Quote:Scarlotti: Do a Google search for "golden age of hollywood" -- there's definitely a consensus. Folks may quibble about the start and end years -- but they're all in agreement that it was pre-1970. LS: Google searches don't always reflect scholarly research. Plenty of respected film critics historians, including Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, David Thomson, and Peter Biskind have identified the '70s as a high point in American Film History. Scarlotti: You weren't asking about "scholarly research" but for a "general consensus." And I think if you do the Google search, you'll find that there is a general consensus as to Hollywood's Golden Age. (Siskel and Ebert notwithstanding.) LS: Also, the term "Golden Age" can refer to other factors, such as more films getting produced, and more of them getting shot in Hollywood, itself." Scarlotti: Theoretically... but it generally refers to the time when great films like GONE WITH THE WIND, CITIZEN KANE and CASABLANCA were being made. Quote:Lincoln: You're entitled to your opinion, but many consider the '70s one of the greatest periods in film history, and the lack of censorship was part of the reason. These people are entitled to their opinions, too. Scarlotti: Certainly they are. Just as I'm entitled to disagree with them -- and them with me. LS: Ahh, but when you advocate censorship--which would effectively ban many of the films that made the '70s great as well as new ones like them--you're saying that they're not entitled to their opinions. Scarlotti: Not at all. 70s fans are entitled to remain convinced that the 70s were the high point of cinema. And as I'm not advocating having the "film cops" do a door-to-door search of people's dvd/vhs libraries, I'm sure they can continue to watch their favorite flicks for many years to come. |
