Pink panther sundance kid planet of the apes
The Pink Panther is a comedy from this time period. I found this movie actually very enjoyable, the humor was relatable and the overall plot was actually very good and reasonably easy to follow. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was a great example of a western classic, the action was plentiful and the villains were as villainous as you could expect. The protagonists death at the end was a twist on the happy ending that usually ensued the end of movies in this time period. Planet of the Apes was a decent movie, it was hard to follow and since we skipped so much of it, it was even harder. I did like it though, the new one made was kind of stupid in my opinion. The 1960s version was a bit.. Better. Overall, the popularity of these movies in this time period displays how sick and tired the citizens of American were of the same old happy endings all the time. They longed for something more, cliff hangers without resolutions, the death of the protagonists, etc. The people of our country longed for blood and no longer wanted to see the pitiful happiness they could not have in their own lives.
