The Studios after the Studios: Neoclassical Hollywood (1970-2010) In the heyday of modern Hollywood's major studios, their films were remarkably precise biographies of the studios that made them. Movies became product placements for their studios, advertising them to the industry, employees, and the public. To understand how studios work, we need to watch their films closely - in a detailed analysis of their stories and styles. This book explores the gaps between story and backstory to excavate the hidden history of Hollywood's second great studio era. By examining a wide range of examples, J.D. Connor reveals the complex dynamics at play in the major studios' rise to power and their struggles with independent filmmakers. Through its close analysis of films from this period, The Studios after the Studios offers a nuanced understanding of how the studios shape the stories they tell and how those stories reflect the studios themselves.
