I think rebellion is an essential component for forcing change and maintaining the revoutionary spirit but most people caught up in waves and cycles usually come to respect the thing they attacked at later dates. That's certainly true of some "new wave" directors of the 1950s & 1960s who later expressed regret over scathing comments and hurt caused. Of course, it should be remembered that members of the older generation are usually throwing around their own put-downs of the younger generation as they fear for their jobs.
There are countless examples of cycles in the arts. To take a musical gesture - several years into their careers, having secured recording contracts, matured somewhat and grown musically, many angry young punks pulled their old prog rock records back out of their closets and changed their tunes in interviews accordingly. There's also some kind of tribal thing going on, like with sports fans.
Another interesting article in 'The Guardian' which I find is relatively strong as a news publication when covering all aspects of the arts. Thanks Carl.

I agree the Guardian's Culture section is pretty strong. Here are some other "My favourite film decade" articles: www.theguardian.com/film/series/my-favourite-film-decade (although you probably spotted the link already.) |

I think I've quoted from the post-2000 articles before as 'The Guardian' is a good support base for any writings on cinema. I'm going to bookmark the 1980s article to read later as I'm off work for Easter, back to work on Tuesday and I love the Michael J. Fox picture. Thanks.  |
