Synopsis

Watch: A Decade Under the Influence 2003 123movies, Full Movie Online – The 1970s was an extraordinary time of rebellion, of questioning every accepted idea: political activism, hedonism, protests, the sexual revolution, the women’s movement, the civil rights movement, the music revolution, rage and liberation. Every standard by which we set our social and cultural clocks was either turned inside out or thrown away completely and reinvented. For American cinema, the 1970s was an era during which a new generation of filmmakers created work for a new kind of audience–moviegoers who were hungry for stories that reflected their own experiences and who were turning their backs on aged old studio formulas. As a result, emerging filmmakers influenced by foreign directors such as Godard, Kurosawa and Fellini coupled with the social climate and a struggling studio system, converged to create a new kind of moviemaking. Through their choice of material, filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Peter Bogdanovich, William Friedkin, Roger Corman and Paul Schrader revolutionized mainstream movies and for the first time personal visions were coming out of the studio system..
Plot: A documentary examining the decade of the 1970s as a turning point in American cinema. Some of today’s best filmmakers interview the influential directors of that time.

Nice Slice of Cinematic History
This is a great compendium of interviews and excerpts form the films of the late sixties and early 70s that were a counter movement to the big Studio Films of the late sixties. Directed by Ted Demme, it is obviously a labor of love of the films of the period, but it gives short shrift to the masterpieces of the times.

Many of the filmmakers of this period were influenced by Truffaut, Antonioni, Fellini, Bergman, and of course John Cassavetes. Unfortunately the documentary logging in at 138 minutes is too short! The film is rich with interviews and opinions of filmmakers. Some of the people interviewed are: Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, Robert Altman, Peter Bogdonovich, Ellen Burstyn, and Roger Corman, Bruce Dern, Sydney Pollack, Dennis Hopper, and Jon Voight.

Bruce Dern has a moment of truth when he says that he and Jack Nicholson may not have been as good looking as the other stars that came before them but they were “interesting”. This summarizes the other areas of this period of film-making in American history.

The filmmakers were dealing with a lack of funding from the Studios because they were expressing unconventional attitudes about politics, sex, drugs, gender and race issues, and Americas involvement in overseas conflicts like the Vietnam War.

There is a great interview with Francis Coppola saying that he got the chance to make “The Conversation” because the producers knew he had been trained by Roger Corman to make a movie with nothing so they bankrolled his film.

Another interview is with Jon Voight who was directed by Hal Ashby in “Coming Home” a clear anti-war film about a crippled soldier immersing himself back into society after his facing battle. Voight talks about how his working methods helped him achieve an emotional telling point when Ashby said that they were doing a “rehearsal” take and it ended up being the take used in the film- it was better because it was so un-rehearsed and not drained of its freshness by being over-rehearsed.

There are also many fine excerpts from Al Pacino’s break-through film “The Panic in Needle Park”, and interviews from Dennis Hopper on the making of “Easy Rider”, and interviews from Sydney Pollack about making films.

All in all the documentary is a fine jumping off point for any film lover who wants to see great examples of what the new voices in film were like in the Seventies. Many of the Sundance Folks, where this film made a big splash, are unaware of just how much the Independent Film Maker today owes to the films of John Cassavetes, Milos Foreman, William Friedkin, and Roger Corman.

Rent it from your favorite shop. It will at least perk you up to some films you may not have seen before and can enjoy today. Amazon.com has it for as little as $11.50, if you want to buy right out.

Disappointing as a theatrical release
As it stands for right now, Ted Demme and Richard Lagravenese’s valentine to 70’s film and their makers is an almost average, almost dull look at an incredible moment in the history of cinema; I think even hardcore film buffs will be a bit disappointed, especially if they’ve seen Raging Bulls, Easy Riders which covers exactly the same territory with much more thoroughness and compulsively compelling narrative. It doesn’t seem fair to judge what they’ve done considering this is a gutted version of what will be a three-part, three hour show on IFC sometime in August but as it stands ‘Decade’ serves as a celluloid 70’S MOVIES FOR DUMMIES for those who are curious.

It walks the typical tightrope of grainy movie clips from beloved classics –The Godfather, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest– intercut with that decade’s most famous (and beautifully lit) characters –Robert Altman, Peter Bogdonovich, Francis Ford Coppola– and yet there’s no new observations or insight into that time or its films. For the first hour or so, you’re slammed over the head again and again with their “We needed to shake up the old studio system, man!” message and the back-slapping, self-congratulatory machismo that runs rampant yet when shown the result of their anger and angst, it looks almost silly –i.e. Midnight Cowboy, Panic in Needle Park, Easy Rider– and ADUTI comes dangerously close to nearly capsizing.

The only moment where something fresh seems to be said comes when both Julie Christie and Ellen Burstyn comment on the lack of roles for women during this reverential pissing contest. A brief salute to Jane Fonda for They Shoot Horses, Don’t They and Klute and Jill Clayburgh for An Unmarried Woman and suddenly it felt like the filmmakers were taking you down a street that’s been closed for quite some time but then it was back to the world of Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, Peter Bogdonovich, William Friedkin, and Coppola. (Christie and Burstyn are only two out of four women interviewed for this documentary –the others being Polly Platt and Pam Grier– and it makes you wonder why Gena Rowlands, Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, Liv Ullman, Shelley Duvall, and Fonda herself either declined or weren’t even approached.)

The best thing about ADUTI is its never-given-its-full-due undercurrent in how most of today’s filmmakers and actors are confronted with the same b******* these mavericks were in their struggle for personal vision and expression. Where are our “Klute”‘s and “Scarecrow”‘s and “Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice”‘s and “Network”‘s in this A Beautiful Mind/Gladiator/Braveheart/Chicago movie world.

Maybe the full, unedited show will be more satisfying.
