Our professor gives us time to watch a Documentary Film about the Film School Generation during our class and talks about the how these great filmmakers or directors that taking over the early 70s and how they got their break and some of their bigger pictures.
Box office directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, Brian De Palma, and John Millus they tried to revolutionize the way American films were made and appreciated by the audiences. This can explores their financial and cultural forces that made their success possible in making films directing a film for money? Or for the public? The influence of this great classic Hollywood films makers.
The training grounds of Box office directors: UCLA, USC, NYU

Steven Spielberg probably gets the most attention as he talks about getting to work at Universal on TV projects and then of course his film Jaws.
George Lucas talks about feeling that he only had one shot in Hollywood and discusses how the studios just didn’t think his films were going to connect with an audience.
Martin Scorsese he discusses what he thought was going to be a disastrous preview at Warner. Another running theme deals with the foreign influence that all of these filmmakers had.
Francis Coppola created a group of filmmakers known as the “New Hollywood” that emerged in the early 1970s with ideas that challenged conventional film-making and the Director and Producers of the films Patton, The Godfather and The Apocalypse Now.
I think the fans of these great directors are certainly going to enjoy this look back at their careers but it’s also just fun seeing how they got started and what Hollywood was like from that time until this time.
