Cinema of the 70’s

Before the 'Avatar' phenomenon we all thought that the recent period of Hollywood's golden age would be the 70's. However,  never say never  because the history repeats itself. So in the 70's, new technology like Dolby Sound  and Panavision will bring  people to the cinemas to win the battle with the television as well as in 2009 with the 3D technology will break every record of the cinemagoers. Let us return to the 70 'where  avantgarde generation of filmmakers like George Lucas' Star Wars' and Steven Spielberg with' Jaws' made the history of those years. I must emphasize that in the 70 films Block-buster were those films that used new technology or new achievements in science unknown world outside the planetary, new approaches to distance the human from the religion and God. While the cult films for the message to transmit as 'The Godfather', 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Taxi driver' deal with the topic of post-war, loneliness social chaos that was America and the mafia that in one way or another has been part the most important of its building.

And although women gained priority in social and political life, cinematography does not respond there is no film to represent the women of those days and its efforts in society. In the late 70 'Woody Allen will be one that will bring a new style romantic comedy centered on a young woman already emancipated in his film "Annie Hall." Allen is the only although autobiographical notes which creates the character of Annie which then inspires women in America for the way she dresses. In this film we see that a movie leads and inspires the society and not as a derivative of social events.
Until the 90's would be used in wardrobes of American style of Annie Hall, a woman wearing men's trousers jacket shirt and left anyway but very feminine. This style highlights the difference between fabric and garments for men as men, but retaining the part of women. Woody helps careerist feminist women of those years while I attached to this wardrobe on the other side though with regret that since the entire emancipation of women in society cinema responds only with an innovation-mind wardrobe.
