The reading  mainly presents the different aspects of New Hollywood. From the analysis of author, the viewers are recognized the specific emerging reason of New Hollywood. The period of New Hollywood is during 1960s to post 1970s. The society situation of America has being crucial in that period, due to the war, political crisis and economic recession. In addition, the New Hollywood existed at the time when an adventurous new cinema emerged, linking the traditional classical Hollywood with the stylistic innovations of European art cinema. Meanwhile, there are sorts of the ‘movie brats’ arrived in this period, they are graduated in film school, they received the innovations of European art cinema and the accepted auteurism which claims by Andrew Sarris. In this period, the multipurpose of blockbuster film is that breed music videos and soundtrack albums, TV series and comic books. New Hollywood has a new production. Even the textual form has some similarities with classic Hollywood cinema, but it is has difference. One is now used to speaking of ‘screens”, another is kinaesthetic spectacles.

New Hollywood cinema confirms the major state of American cinema around the world. In my opinion, the most meaningful thing is the collapse of film conglomerate control. From the 1920s, the conglomerate control of film produced a numbers of Hollywood similar films. Those films both have similar narrative form and do not have any innovation. However, the New Hollywood gives more chance to the independent film making. As a result, there is more fantastic art film which signed with the director’s personal style appeared.
