Document Summary
This is the one thing that"s particularly british. Working class representation was a central feature of the modern way of looking at film. It made british films more like european films than american hollywood films. A number of american directors started to make films in the british style. So even though the films are made by americans, they are british films. British film had rediscovered a new way of what people looked like. 2 things that emerged as a result: They turned to the much more intimate view of how people lived. An interest in different varieties of ethnicity, gender, and women start to be shown as the representatives of the community rather as just a supplement of men. Social realism allowed you to explore areas which were forbidden. Gay movies became more prevalent between the late 1960s and early 1970s.
