The mood of the 1970s that the second golden age of hollywood built upon. All made worse my his alcoholism and drug abuse. In 1960s, he was extremely frustrated that he couldn"t make the type of movies he wanted to make. A change in the audience and production code presented him with new opportunities. Studios more willing to take a chance on him now. An implicit critique of the american war in vietnam. About aging gun fighters coming to terms with modernity. Indiscriminate slaughter in vietnam and the sheer brutality of war. No other movie had had such bloody violence. He really angered the motion picture industry by leaving it to work in television. While the wild bunch was in theater he started to make his own war movies.
