whatever, but the corporations were not different in the 1970's, that's a false narrative of the 1970'sC-Mag wrote: Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:17 pmTrue on the specifics. To develop my point finer though. There are a lot of films made in the 70s that would never get made today like Blazing Saddles.Smitty-48 wrote: Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:13 pmthey weren't actually willing to make it, Lucas pitched it to the studios, and they all turned him down except 20th Century FoxC-Mag wrote: Fri May 28, 2021 9:58 am
In 1977, corporations were willing to let a guy make a film that was different, and not what was standard. That won't happen today.
most studios saw it as some sort of Flash Gordon reboot, so they thought it was a losing bet
it was just one guy, Alan Ladd, who was a fan of American Graffiti, he gave the green light
you are invoking a nostalgia for an America that never was /shrugs
