See
Hear podcast begins its fourth year with the discussion of an
animated work from a revered observer of counter culture in the
seventies, Ralph Bakshi.
In
1981 he released American Pop. It’s a film about four generations
of a family originally migrated to America to escape Tsarist Russia.
The son of each generation finds his own link to music, but at great
cost. It’s about parallels to American music and history in the
twentieth century. It’s about family lineage and how each
generation is distant from the values of the previous one while still
finding common ground.
On
episode 37, Tim, Bernard and Maurice discuss how successfully a 90
minute film can achieve in telling a story scoped over a 60 year
period. They discuss the look of the animation compared to other
American animation of the period. Does the film successfully achieve
what it set out to do? Tune in for their thoughts on the subject.
