Major differences between classical Hollywood cinema and late modern art cinema

Description
What are the major differences between classical Hollywood cinema and late modern art cinema in terms of narration, style, content, form, genre, authorship, etc?
Choose ONE of the following topics:

1. How did cinema become ‘modern’ in the 1920s and in the 1960s? What different factors played a role in the emergence of cinematic modernism during these two periods? After addressing the first part of the question you should do a comparative analysis of a couple of films from each period in order to analyze significant differences between them in terms of narration,
   style, content, form, genre, authorship, etc.
2. What are the major differences between classical Hollywood cinema and late modern art cinema in terms of narration, style, content, form, genre, authorship, etc? Illustrate your argument with an analysis of the differences (and perhaps similarities) between several classical Hollywood films and European modern art films.
3. How did cinematic modernism evolve from the Romantic Period (1959-1961), through the years of Established Modernism (1962-1966) to Political Modernism (1967-1975)? Illustrate your argument with an analysis of films representative of each of these periods.
4. How has European modern art cinema influenced contemporary cinema (both mainstream and art cinema)? Illustrate your argument with an analysis of several representative films.
   You are required to use 5 valid print or online sources (books, articles, chapters in edited
   collections, online academic journals), one of which must be the course text (Kovács, Screening
   Modernism). If you are in doubt about the validity of your sources email me and/or your TA. The
   films you will be discussing in your paper do not count as ‘sources.’
   Do not rely exclusively on your sources! Your paper should demonstrate independent, original thought; it should not be a string of quotations and/or paraphrases of what other people have said about your topic. Avoid lengthy quotations (longer than 6-8 lines). Your paper must have a thesis statement, in the first or second paragraph. The thesis statement is the main argument you are making in your paper: the rest of the paper should support and illustrate your thesis.
   Make sure you cite all your sources properly both in the body of the paper, through in-text
   citations, and in your Works Cited. You can use either the MLA style or the Chicago style of documentation: whichever style you choose, be consistent!
