My Criteria for Quality in Film 2
The period between 1970 and 2000 marked a significant change in the film industry as it was the second Golden Age of Hollywood. During this period, filmmaking experienced significant growth due to experimentation with new ideas. The experimentation not only facilitated the production of new movies, but also resulted in changes that included the incorporation of global prestige. This period is regarded as the second Golden Age of Hollywood because the old studio systems that dominated 1930s films broke down totally. In addition, the period was characterized by loosening of restrictions on obscenity, sexual content and violence (A&E Television Networks, 2018). As a result, film directors started making groundbreaking controversial content while others retained a romantic theme in their movies.
One of the directors who played a critical role in ushering the second Golden Age of Hollywood is George Stevens. Stevens shot never-ending number of set-ups in his films. While he didn’t shoot multiple takes of his movie scenes, Stevens made his actors and actresses do scenes from several angles (Eyman, 2004). This would in turn provide him different angles and alternatives of the scene during editing. Through incorporating this aspect in his filmmaking technique, Stevens ended up raising craftmanship to near art. Therefore, Stevens influenced the emergence of the second Golden Age of Hollywood in 1970 through raising the standards of filmmaking.
For this paper, I picked The Only Game in Town (1970), which was the final film directed by George Stevens. This film is regarded as an footnote of Stevens’ remarkable career in the filmmaking industry as a director. The film stars two major actors of the time: Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty. Through this film, George Stevens accurately captures the emotional agony and superficial values that characterize the world of gambling. The film is based on a script that provides a thought-provoking exploration of luck, fate and inertia. I learnt about this movie about three years ago when I heard some of my friends talking about it. However, I have never watched this film and I was excited to finally watch it. I watched the movie to help understand why many people argue that it is characterized by miscasting and boring. Prior to watching the movie, I wondered how a movie featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty could be considered...

His stance is also one of superiority as he presents himself as the victim of his own vision and artistic expression. In this context, the generic pronoun "they" symbolizes Craig's detachment from the world around him as he feels superior which he believes, is what causes his isolation. Craig's wife, Lotte, is perhaps the most radically changed as a result of traveling through the portal. She becomes convinced that she
Of note, Out of the Past was released in Europe and Great Britain as Build My Gallows High. It seems that both films could have been subtitled with this alternative note, particularly when we focus upon the editing -- each piece is but a plank in the construction of the gallows and when the camera has had enough of these nefarious people they are then cast aside as they do
The birds flying away in the end are representative of the freedom to love each other that Allie and Noah now have with each other. No physical bounds can restrain them. These elements became apparent on the fourth viewing. I then went back through the scenes to see if bird imagery was hiding in other scenes. Birds were found throughout the story, such as Noah providing bread for Allie
