Classical and Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema INTRODUCTION During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that, examining post classical at which time the relationship between them will become evident. It is my intention to reference films from both movements and also published texts relative to the subject matter. In order to illustrate the structures involved I will be writing about the subjects of genre and genre transformation, the representation of gender, postmodernism and the relationship between style, form and content.

Rockabilly music is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating to the early 1950’s in the United States. The term of rockabilly is a mixture between both Rock and Roll music, and Hillbilly music. Hillbilly music contributed strongly to the styles development, whereas western swing, boogie woogie, and rhythm and blues were also important influences. One of the major forces behind the creation of Rock and Roll along with Jump blues, and the vocal group phenomenon, Rockabilly was the rural white artist’s response to blues music, a style which developed naturally as “race,” began to sell across the south. An even bigger factor in the development of the style was radio.

In Western films we often see cowboys wearing big hats, boots, and pistols, we also see saloons, horse stables, old trains, etc; in “The Hidden Fortress”, in other hand, we see Samurais wearing kimonos, armor, masks, using long swords, Japanese guns and matchlocks. Ford and Kurosawa also wanted to see their viewers involved both rationally and emotionally in their films. To accomplish that, they took advantage of the Kuleshov Effect by juxtaposing shots or by cutting images to another frame. Here there are some examples for both the Western and Samurai filmmaking style. In the film “The Searchers” (1956) there is a civilized woman, wearing a traditional dress, and she is standing in a vast wild scenario, which represent the
Each of these elements is done in a way to serve the the underlying message behind the story, the fact that the West is the civilizer and the non West is the uncivilized. Starting from this point, the aim of this paper is to analyze the story and interpret it as an allegory of Western civilization and its colonial expansion, specifically in Americas. It will argue that Carpentier undermines the notion that colonial domination aims to help people to develop and progress to achieve civilization, and reveals the real intentions of the colonizer, namely exploitation and exoticism. It will also examines in details the elements of story mentioned above and how they are created to represent the West. Finally it will show how Carpentier’s story complements the postcolonial theory.
