The 1960s and 70s brought about a fundamental change to the world of cinema. According to Peter Biskind, the author of 'Easy Riders, Raging Bulls', the major studios, in a period of rapid decline (as a result of declining audiences), began to relinquish control of their empires to the ambitious artists (for instance, directors such as Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese and actors such as Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson) of this era.
Easy Rider: Film Becomes Art
It was an unprecedented time for film. Film became art. It was made for the right reasons; not for profit but rather as expression. Some important films that emerged during this time were ‘Easy Rider’ (1969) and ‘The French Connection’ (1971). However, by the end of the decade, the artist (writer, director and star) had lost control of their powerful position. Through excess and arrogance, the artists fell from their perch high above. The studios gained back what was rightfully theirs and once again altered the film world into something more concerned about commerce then art.
