	Encyclopedia: 1968 in film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If this film used to be successful in the late sixties, its message has however lost most of its power because it has been too much imitated afterwards, and because its way of promoting change to society has generally fallen out of favour.
		The film's statement has lost most of its significance today, even though school shootings have unfortunately become commonplace, as "If..." is too much embedded in the context during which it was made, and because it tries too much to be allegorical.
		Filmed at the Harlem Fall Mobilization March against the war in 1967, three African-American Vietnam veterans discuss the relationship between the racism they encountered in the military, the poverty and discrimination of the ghetto, and war.

		While their mischief is at first annoying without being a real menace to authority, they eventually move on to more serious acts of rebellion, and the film ends with a shootout on the school grounds between the rebels and the army.
		Throughout the film, the students' rebellion is given a surreal treatment also involving obscure symbolism which always leaves a doubt as to whether the events really happened, hence the title: "If...".
		Later on, some of the most traditional-looking scenes are filmed in color, while the most dream-like scenes, particularly the sexual intercourse sequence between one of the rebels (perhaps Travis) and a young woman, are in fl and white.

		In the 1968 to 1979 period, fifteen films were released, with the remaining twenty coming between 1980 and 1990.
		Arguing that prominent representations are the most influential, this study argues that the 1968 to 1979 period formed and shaped the sign of a demonic Führer, and its acceptance is demonstrated by films released between1980 and 1990.
		However, the appearance of two prominent films in the 1980s which humanized Hitler is significant, for these two films hint at the beginnings of a breakdown in the hegemony of the Hitler sign.

	Andrew Sarris and American filmmaking
		According to this conception of film history, the director's personal vision has been the principal "authorial" element in the best films up to the present time and, therefore, the study of the working out of this vision over the course of an individual filmmaker's career becomes a central task of cinema scholarship.
		After noting that the former film was "a complete disaster at the box office," he goes on: "Its abiding unpopularity with the Hollywood mass audience is, however, a proof of its transcendent importance in the coming of age of America.
		Films are not made, for example, about "Love," they are made about love between particular individuals to whom romance, sex and a variety of other matters mean something quite specific.

		As part of a settlement with Woodfall Films, he was cast as a Russian prince in the film but his part was cut out completely.
		While almost plot less this section of the film does follow a core of characters whose lives are connected by army service.
		Although the film does reflect 1960's attitudes to war and politics (and I actually prefer these to the attitudes of the 21st Century) its setting is so perfectly realized that it hasn't dated as a '60s film'.

		Many early science fiction films are now, quite inadvertently (and in most cases undeservedly), objects of camp attention: we laugh at the silly makeup, tin-can special effects, and the naive "high-tech" dialogue.
		This film had four sequels, a TV series and a cartoon series, as well as a multitude of merchandise from plastic figurines to bubble gum cards, but the original stays pristine and untarnished by its often silly spin-offs, and is a one-of-a-kind classic.
		Very few films leave one with a satisfied feeling at their close, but this one is unique, brilliantly filmed, and like a perfect dessert after a good meal.

	The Film-Makers' Cooperative On-Line Catalog: L
		The film is long and boring, consisting of shots of red paint being poured on "a wide variety of objects," the last of which is a hotplate.
		Individual frames of the film are imprinted on the retina of the eye in a rhythm, sequence, and intensity that corresponds to Alpha-Wave frequencies of the brain.
		Although the film may appear conventional on a technical level, conceptually this is not the case given that the work is based on situations where the sense of perception processes images in various time lengths according to the characteristics viewed.

	The Modern Horror Film (1968 - 1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The differences between the occult film and previous films of occult subject are the contemporary urbanity of the setting, the extreme skepticism, secular viewpoint and lack of faith on the part of the protagonists, and the truly cosmic, ineffable nature of the evil encountered.
		While some may consider this to be a science fiction film of sorts, I maintain that it is a true horror film in that it deals with the most dominant and recurrent theme of the horror genre (both fiction and film) over the last century: the loss of identity.
		Not a horror film in the conventional sense, Ken Russell's semi-historical depiction of the events at the Villa Diodati is nevertheless one of the most unsettling films I have seen.

	WILD IN THE STREETS
		At the very end, the film makes a subtle comment about the dangers of age discrimination when Max realizes that children under 14 regard his generation as the enemy.
		By 1968, both formal and informal control that institutions had exercised over individuals' lives was on the wane.
		In this respect, the film depicted current events, not political science fiction (as it is often viewed today).

	Film History of the 1960s
		It was a stark fl-and-white film that starred Laurence Harvey as a Korean War hero/veteran ("the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known...") who was brain-washed by the Communists, and upon his return to the US was programmed to kill on command and attempt a political assassination.
		Because of its controversial nature and its interpretation as paranoid speculation (before the actual political assassinations of the decade in 1963 and 1968), the film was a box-office failure.
		His next film was one of the most whimsical of the late 60s films that symbolized the anti-war, counter-cultural movement.

		The results are a fine if offbeat collection of six strong songs, mixed with psychedelia, clips from the film, and general fooling around.
