In Reply to: Steve or anyone. Those anti-establishment films. Which are great? posted by edta on July 10, 2000 at 18:47:03:
If the establishment = media, then anti = "Network" and "Natural Born Killers".= submissive female perspective, then anti = "Thelma and Louise".
= military, then anti = "M*A*S*H".
= Christianity/organized religion, then anti = "Life of Brian".
= structured narrative, then anti = "Un Chien Andalou" or "Lost Highway".
= adults over forty, then anti = "Billy Jack".
= big studio money, then anti = "El Mariachi" or "Blair Witch Project".
= highway patrol, then anti = "Vanishing Point".
The only way I could conceive of "Star Wars" as being anti-establishment is if the establishment was moderate budget, moderate profit films. "Star Wars" showed that it was possible to spend big money and get even bigger money in return: the big bottom line became the new establishment. Studios think: why make ten films like "Midnight Cowboy" when we can make one like "E.T."?
