"I saw The Wild Bunch on a double bill with Mean Streets, midnight at the Waverly Place Cinema on Bleecker Street in New York [in the 1970s]. Those two played on a double bill; I was in New York, I had a studio and I was basically a practicing artist, working with various art groups — Art & Language, kind of conceptual arts, political arts. We were doing environments, we were doing installations, performance pieces…and I stumbled into this incredible double bill. And it was a life-changing experience. I thought they were just extraordinary. [Sam] Peckinpah for his muscularity, his immediacy, his sheer genius in his storytelling and characters. I was knocked out."

"I discovered Fassbinder senior year of college, and I couldn’t believe it. Both of these films are perfect to me. Ali tells a grotesque yet delicate love story that, to my dummy liberal arts mind, was an analogy for the challenges of a gay relationship in the repressed Germany of the 1970s (at least that’s what I said in my thesis). Maria Braun is the tragic, triumphant story of a woman who does what she must to get by, but loses herself in the process. They both make you wanna dress up and smoke opium and fuck people you meet late at night in a bodega, even if you’re not into that."

Finally watched today three weeks later was it worth the wait yes for me it has everything a marvel movie drama action romance. as I knew enough about the Etenals thru the comics as created by Jack kirby in the 1970s and to finally see them on the big played by the likes salma Hayek and angelina Jolie who I thought were under used could have done with more screen time but that didn't effect my enjoyment of the movie at all. Overall good start to the Eternals here's hoping for a sequel and more on kit Harringtons character I got a feeling I know where he's headed

Reflected the changing attitudes of the mid 70s

I fell in love with the innocence of this sitcom through modern eyes but this made me think of the impact at the time when attitudes were more prudish. A man sharing with 2 women!! oh the scandal!! The main characters have great interplay and there are some classic sitcom tropes that make it fun. Robin is the man who tries to live up to the macho stereotypes but is also reflective of the changing attitudes of young men in the 1970s. The woman are always more than a match for the men and this is shown best with the landlord George and Mildred Roper, who appeared in there own sitcom due to this great dynamic. Some silly jokes and ludicrous situations but this allows a sense of escapism and the jokes are clever at times. Robin also spawned his own sitcom Robins Nest so the roles and characters in this sitcom made an impact beyond the show.

The last series was heartbreaking in parts and the will they or won't they with Robin and Chrissy reached its crescendo with a familiar face from the series returning as a doppelganger and forever changing the dynamic of the 2 girls and 1 man living in sin.

If you like a look into British life's and attitudes in the 1970s then this shows it in an interesting light. Although I wasn't there I so feel I understood the themes and the significance of this snapshot of domestic living.
