Anyway I was lucky enough to arrive home because  I was in airports half of the day and I skipped the movie evening went directly to the last part.  :)              

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.

Cinema of ther 60's

During the 60's the big film studios will be threaten from the raising of television.The golden age is over and indipendent movies are made.During this time there are less American movies made and there is the boom of Fellini,Godar,Antonioni,L.Bunuel and Hitchcook.At this godd time for the indipendent movies we hear first the names of Sidney Pollac. He changed the rules of the movies regarding sex scenes. This would make an avantgarde cinema and this would be as a result of Woodstock and the seksual liberation. 

. Regarding the feminism movement there is only one movie that we can mention ‘Rosemary Baby’ this movie will become a kult film and later on you will hear the say 'Not another Rosemary's Baby'. The main theme here is abortion. Rosemary is a catholic and lives in New York,she is newly wed and when times come she wants to have a baby.  She stays home, and takes care of her husband. Economically she depends on him and she is always doing what he wants regardless of her own wishes.Suddenly her husband decides to have a baby,that proper night she dreams that someone is raping her. Her husband tells her that he made love with her while she was asleep. She is pregnant and suffers through the hole pregnancy. At the end she learns that her husband had made a deal with the devil so she decides to kill her baby. .This is a film which has been discussed in terms of religion, faith,in scenes of violence becoming a film pioneer for the later as well as problems with the justice that had Polanski. In my opinion this film represents the struggle of women to that period when seeking the right to abortion. Many women were silent except for rape to become detached from the spouses and raise children bore fruit not of love but of violence. How can increase a child when his mother recalls the humiliation and violence that is inflicted upon due to helplessness against the other sex. Rosemary fights to keep her child but does not protect society from that rape that was done, she wins over her Catholic guilt when he learns that her child will grow as the son of the devil and kill it sets .
