The Parallax View: remember when Hollywood made potent political cinema?
Warren Beatty's "The Parallax View," a 1970s political thriller, depicts a journalist uncovering a shadowy corporation recruiting assassins amid Nixon-era turmoil. Cinematographer Gordon Willis uses sinister shadows and fascist visual language to deconstruct American mythology, contrasting patriotic imagery with violence and atrocity. The film exemplifies New Hollywood's willingness to engage contemporary crises—a stark contrast to today's IP-driven studios.
