Casa vs Apoc essay plan

Over arching . key argument of abstract vs nonabstract (techniques used) and link to production context of a move towards New Hollywood = more auteur freedom with interior meaning (auteur theory) + accompanied behind a change in national mindset which became clouded and uncertain, where artists like Coppola who went to film school + influenced by French new wave became more critical and experimental (link to post modern possibly) with the downfall of American exceptionalism and it's entailing disillusionment .
