Pick an American feature film in the 1970s (other than the star war, the Jaws and Mid Summer Madness) and write a paper about how it fits the decade (or perhaps is atypical): does it seem to embody concerns of the period as we have outlined them in class, as they’ve been discussed in the reading, and as you have discovered by any research of your own into the period?
Do elements of the film such as the type of plot it offers, the dialogue it contains, the way it is shot and the way it looks, the pacing of action or of dialogue, and so on seem to fit the period?
In other words, what makes this film seem typical or atypical of the decade? If this film had actually been screened in class, what might one have said about it that fits the course concerns (or not)? What might one learn about American cinema of the decade from your selected film?
