The New Hollywood and Independent Film making

The new hollywood directors were revamping American Films but then a young generation of film directors from Hong Kong came and revised the traditional genres and other creative methods in the film industry. Though it is not really unified movement but still it influenced the cinematic style and storytelling of the world of filmmaking in the 20th century. During the silent era, Shaw Brothers is the most powerful studio and owned theaters throughout East Asia. 

Most of the protagonists in this time are lack of goal oriented. And they have the common setting like drinking in the cafe, it's like you already kknow what you expect in the story. This is called the New Wave film, but it end easily. Some of the New Wave director's shot are cheap and quick than what the reigning directors did. They also lack in their financial needs but still the young directors helped each other to reduced the financial risks on some companies but the French industry helped the New Wave through ditribution, exhibition and eventually production. 

The problems arosed. Expensive studio projects failed miserably, some television stopped bidding for pictures which pay high prices. But the producers fought back. They produced counter culture films aimed at young people. The most popular and influential were Dennis Hopper's low budget Easy Rider (1969) and Robert Altman's MASH (1970)

Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola and other directors were known as movie brats. Most of them had gone to film schools. All of them have the knowledge on doing  very good movie. Even those who did not attend the film schools are admirers of the Hollywood Clasical tradition.
