This Stunning 1970s Anime Drama Was Ahead of Its Time

Only a small number of animated films can boast about being entirely unique and groundbreaking in their genre. Throughout animation’s history, there have been trailblazing achievements, but to defy norms and create something completely original is rare. Movies such as “The Red Turtle,” “Hedgehog in the Fog,” and “The Triplets of Belleville” serve as proof that the art form can achieve greatness when artists strive to break the mold and explore the full potential of their medium.

How El Topo Helped Introduce the Acid Western Subgenre

In the mid-1960s, films like Clint Eastwood’s “A Fistful of Dollars”, Lee Van Cleef’s “Death Rides a Horse”, and Franco Nero’s “Django” are among the well-known spaghetti Westerns. Despite being an old subgenre, it still receives appreciation from film historians. However, Westerns as a genre evolved into a different thematic direction a few years later, which is not commonly recognized today. The entry of Chilean and French filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky marked this shift. Before making waves with his 1970 movie, he had created a 20-minute surreal production called “The Severed Heads” in the late 50s, formed an art collective called The Panic Movement (inspired by absurdism), and was mentored by a Zen Buddhist monk. These experiences significantly influenced his perspective on life. His unique 1970 film showcased his exceptional talent to the world.

The Sixth Sense Star Says the Twist Wasn’t Exactly a Secret During Production

Haley Joel Osment, who became famous for his role as young Cole Sear in “The Sixth Sense,” recently revealed that the movie’s shocking ending wasn’t kept under wraps during filming. With social media still years away, it was easier to maintain secrecy about the twist.
