6. The New Hollywood
View through CrossRef
After World War II, the Hollywood studio system entered a period of major transformation, and by the late 1960s a New Hollywood emerged. ‘The New Hollywood’ outlines some of the influences that remade Hollywood: Americans’ postwar flight to the suburbs and widespread adoption of television; the rise of the 1960s counterculture; the resolution of the ongoing antitrust case against the studios; the popularity of foreign films in the US; and the passing away of the original studio moguls to usher in a new wave of industry leaders. With pressure from all sides, the factory-like studios of Hollywood’s Golden Age morphed into multimedia conglomerates focused first on making personal films and later auteur-driven blockbusters.
