My Review-
Exploring the American Exploitation from films from the start of Thomas Edison until now, the audience learns the history of how these movies started and when exactly they started to change cinema how it was looked and shaped the history of cinema. Seeing clips from these different times of films and interviews from the writers and directors of these films gave me some ideas to add them to my list, to see them so controversial in the time that they were released. Its funny to see how vastly different movies were from the 1950s to late 1970s from how they are now. I had learned about some of these movies in classes or heard about them in the same classes but never got to see how they came about or how controversial they were when they were released. I liked seeing how people came up with the film ideas that they had for the films they made and the ridiculous titles that they came up with for those movies. It's really amazing to see how far we have come in film making before the and after the MPDA was started and MPAA. So starting soon I will take a look at some of the movies that were mentioned in this documentary and will watch and review them for what they are and what they did, which were out of this world over the top and started a new trend of movies.
