So many films were now being made on location in other countries of using studios abroad (Like Cinecitta in Rome) that the studio system in Hollywood declined. During this time, it was often more old fashioned films that produced the biggest success, and most movies were still aimed at family audiences. Among the biggest successes of the decade were Mary Poppins (1964), My Fair Lady (1964), and The Sound of Music 1965). Contributing to the decline of traditional producers and companies as well as the increase in individual actor’s power. Awareness of foreign films increased in America during the decade as well. French New Wave directors such as Francios Truffaunt and Jean-Luc Godard produced films, such as Breathless, which broke the standard rules of Hollywood’s narrative structure, attracting new attention. In Britain, the "Free Cinema" of Lindsay Anderson, Tony Richardson and others lead to a group of realistic and innovative dramas including Saturday Night and Sunday Morning,A Kind of Loving and This Sporting Life. Other British films such as Repulsion, Darling, Alfie, Blowup and Georgy Girl (all in 1965-1966) helped to reduce prohibitions sex and nudity on screen, while the casual sex and violence of the James Bond films, beginning with Dr. No in 1962 would render the series popular worldwide.

It generally depicts mass culture objects and media stars, and many say it is enthusiastic endorsement of the capitalist market. The movement aims to blur the boundaries between high art and low culture. This meant that there should be no hierarchy of culture, and art may borrow from any source. Pop artists believed everything is interconnected and embraces the post-WWII manufacturing and media booom as inspiration. Some of the most well known and influential artists during the movement were Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol. Most pop artists actually started out working in commercial art. Ruscha was a graphic designer, Rosenquist worked as a billboard painter, an Warhol was a successful magazine illustrator and graphic designer. Their background in the commercial art world trained them in the visual vocabulary of mass culture as well as the techniques to seamlessly merge different kinds of art and culture. |
