Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson has had an incredible career. She is one of the few women that has been able to span the total circle of acting. She has been able to go from Midnight to prime time and every one loves her. She has given an innocence to life that makes every thing ok.

We need to look at the history of Movies to fully understand how this came about. Once we look at the history of Movies and see the changes that the industry has gone through. Pamela Anderson is just these changes showing how the viewing public has changed over the years.

Movies and Film-Makers in the 70s and Now:

Movie Makers in the 70s were experiencing a financial and artistic depression, Yet the decade became a creative high point in the US film industry. With the early collapse of the studio system and restrictions on language, adult content and sexuality, and violence loosening up, these elements became more widespread. And Hollywood was renewed and reborn.

The counter-culture of the time had forced Hollywood to be freer, to take more risks and to experiment with alternative Movie Styles, young film makers, as old Hollywood professionals and old-style moguls died out and a new generation of film makers arose.
And these young viewers, who refused to compromise with mediocre Movie offerings, supported stretching the boundaries of movies even more in this decade. Although the 50s and 60s were noted for wide-screen epics on CinemaScopic silver screens, the 70s decade was noted for movies with creative and memorable subject matter that reflected the questioning spirit and truth of the times.

Motion picture movies seemed to flourish. Other films that were backed by the studios reflected the tumultuous times, the discontent toward the government, lack of US credibility, and hints of conspiracy paranoia, such as in Alan J. Pakula's post-Watergate film The Parallax View (1974) with Warren Beatty as a muckraking investigator of a Senator's death. The Strawberry Statement (1970), derived from James S. Kunen's journal and best-selling account of the 1968 student strike at Columbia and exploited for its countercultural message by MGM, echoed support of student campus protests. Even Spielberg's Jaws (1975) could be interpreted as an allegory for the Watergate conspiracy.

This uncertain age of the 1960s gave rise to some of the finest, boldest, and most commercially-successful films ever made, such as the instant Oscar-winning blockbuster The Godfather (1972) by a virtually untested director, William Friedkin's horror classic The Exorcist (1973), Spielberg's Jaws (1975) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), and Lucas' Star Wars (1977).

The decade also spawned equally memorable cult films, as diverse as Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) and the quirky Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971). Czechoslovakian film-maker Milos Forman's first American film Taking Off (1971) insightfully satirized the adult middle-class and its supposed generation gap from the youth generation. There were also times when expected hits turned to disasters, however, such as the musical fantasy remake Lost Horizon (1973) and Martin Scorsese's darkly expressionistic period musical New York, New York (1977).

Now in the year 2005 we have people like Pamela Anderson, whom earlyer had shown all she had to show and still made it to prime tim TV. This is really a great age for MOvies and Film Making.
