That was the break, the point of hatching: a film directed by drug addicts and aggressive type called Dennis Hopper. People
unstable Dennis Hopper as a perfect summarize some open defiance to the established power and wild creativity and energy of this New Hollywood, in which the motto was "why not try this and that and see what comes up:" Hopper consuming two liters of rum a day, more twenty-eight beers and three grams of cocaine. His favorite drink was rum and Coca-Cola, but decided that rum mixed with cranberry juice was best for his liver and made the change. Although drugs and drink, he was able to function tolerably well ... kicking cocaine and heroin, moved to Mexico ... as delirium tremens and hallucinations had undressed and disappeared into the jungle ... his production company found him and took him to a hospital to rehabilitate.

American cinema of the 70 was made possible by guys like Coppola, Altman, Bill Evans, Scorsese, Alan J. Pakula, a suicidal writer and nihilistic as Paul Schrader, Hopper, William Friedkin, Malick, Bogdanovich, Hal Ashby, so .

It is a fight to the death against the establishment, which will end soon engulfing those that survive to alcohol and drugs. A wild group of writers, producers, actors and actresses, directors, assault and take Hollywood to impose their law. Rates are arrogant, ruthless, sociopathic, self-centered and only live to film, no matter what.
Cinema, sex, drugs & rock and roll. Film sexually aggressive assumptions made by pacifists and idealists games.

While "Easy Rider" two longhaired hippies roam the dusty U.S. selling cocaine and smoking pot, mounted on their motorcycles ... Bogdanovich certifies in its " The Last Movie" the death of the major studios and some classical conception of the American Cinema. At the same time, Friedkin gets a possessed girl's vagina is entered by a crucifix (emerging female sexuality, imaginative, heretical, sacrilegious self-induced abortion), with the Church on a war footing at the start of "The Exorcist" .
In "Taxi Driver" , a bewildered De Niro prepares to clean the streets city \u200b\u200bof all the corruption and rot that the floods.
Coppola uses real cadavers for "Apocalypse Now" . Those who you see when Willard arrives next Kurtz. And it goes rolling
months between floods, orgies, drugs and rock and roll in the middle of the jungle.
The new Hollywood was largely violence, sex, existential pessimism was optimistic values \u200b\u200bof the old movies, some digressions formal aesthetic ugliness, anti-critical. It was not just looking for a cat and strangled to involve the audience emotionally, but much more. There was rage and desire to burn things down the road ... but, above all, had desire of making good films. Film ate and drank.
had to settle debts with something, kill the father, mate with the mother, sacrificing tradition for truth: war, vietnam, the oppressive system, Puritanism, hypocrisy, fanaticism, religion ...
As an example of the crossing after some of the components of the Wild Bunch, the brother of Paul Schrader, the screenwriter Leonard also tells us his childhood in a Dutch Calvinist parents: "The third elbow meant that you were going to whip . I whipped six or seven times a week. just be a normal person twenty-four hours a day, breathing, eating, going to the toilet, have a normal life meant having to violate the rules twenty days, and three of them deserved a spanking. I removed his shirt on Sundays, my father made me lean on the kitchen table, pulled the cord of your electric razor and gave me back the plug, I was splashed across the backs of blood spots , a lovely red polka dot pattern across the back. As if he had gone to the doctor to have allergy tests ".
Cinema, says, was our salvation. Using the camera like a sniper rifle.

So the group got wild galloping to subvert the rules in the middle of this orgy of life, blood and Film: Hopper broke his nose with his fist to his wife, Paul Schader playing Russian roulette with his new gun, Bogdanovich's girlfriend of murdering her ex-husband shot and then raped the corpse , the famed producer Bill Evans was caught at customs with a hundred and fifty grams of cocaine ("Bill is to make a line that goes from New York to Paris," they said) while producing "Popeye" with Walt Disney .. . Scorsese also lost in the desert especially coca, as Ashby and Bob Rafelson, while Coppola was a victim of his own megalomania and lose perspective.
The thing implode soon. "When the marriage began to fall apart, when people began to die of an overdose and talent began to fade too soon, no one knew where to go or what to do "..." We wanted to make great movies, we wanted to be artists, we would discover the limits of our own talent. Now, what remains is the power for power, not a means but an end in itself. The directors of this generation began to believe, and behaved as if filmmaking were a religion. But lost faith. "
cinéphiles speaking, the box office failure splendid "La Puerta del Cielo" , Cimino, who left the United Artists into bankruptcy, certified that the death of an autonomous, author-director, and savage filmmaking.
He had already been Bogdanovich, which was more of a rebuilder of old codes and gender of a subversive agitator Studies like the others, but now the role of "Trojan Horse " and reviver of the industry and large Studies fell on healthy types like George Lucas and Spielberg, as someone said disparagingly of them, "not even drugged" . A new sensitivity
conservative, optimistic, simple show, permeated deep into the eighties. The old film-style high-concept, bright, optimistic, for the entire family of large studies. As Spielberg said: "If anyone can summarize an idea in twenty-five words or less, will be a good movie" .
The revolution did not last long, turned into ashes by their very virulent and lacks momentum, and studies addressed scrape the leftovers and get the book to start again to give the recipe Counter, again, again many benefits generate.
Jaws faces began an advertising campaign on television. Studies again. Inconsequential fun begins, pure and dramatic entertainment of the eighties.
As Bogdanovich says: "Jaws was devastating for art films, smaller budget. They forgot how they did. It is no longer interested."
Then came the "Superman," "The Goonies", "The Gremlins" and "Ghostbusters" to not bother too the hosts now voted Reagan conservative, WASP, liberal economic system and social peace and vigilante.

But we always will be to remember those glorious seventies and their wild group wonders like "Harold and Maude," "Dog Day Afternoon," "The Last Picture Show," "Chinatown," "The Exorcist" "Mean Streets", "Taxi Driver "or" Apocalypse Now ". Jewels at the time and perspective cinephile has not done more than magnify, if there was any doubt.
