After the war, the film industry in Britain intended to take
realistic war films such as In Which We Serve (1942) which
was David Lean’s debut, The Way Ahead (1944), Mrs.
Miniver (1942) which won several academy awards and
also was voted as the best feature of the year.
Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) was released and
had immediately created an impact in world cinema.
The era of New Hollywood had begun during which
filmmakers created innovative and different films
like, 2001: Space Odyssey (1968), Rosemary’s Baby
(1968), Bonnie and Clyde (1967) etc.
During the 1970s explicit sexual contents
were recorded, including graphic images of blood,
gun fights. Controversial films like Bonnie and
Clyde, The Clockwork Orange, Dirty Harry, The
French connection, created a stir in the industry
questioning the presence of violence in cinema.
American directors like Martin Scorsese,
George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Roman
Polanski emerged providing their insights.
