Another aspect of 90's culture was the massive amount of films that are still relevant today. One example of this is the film "Pulp Fiction." A cultural phenomenon, even today, the film directed by Quintin Tarentino was nominated for 6 oscars (winning one for best screenplay). The film is known for many catch phrases including Samuel l Jackson and John trovolatas break through performances.
A film perhaps even more famous goes by the name of Titanic. Released in 1997, Titanic would go on to be one of the highest grossing films of all time garnering about $2,516,000,000 dollars. The director, James Cameron, would go on to make one of the other highest grossing films of all time entitled "Avatar."
These fashion trends and fantastic films have made their stamp on history. "paint me like one of your French girls" is a very common comedic phrase taken (in a different tone) from the film "Titanic." This along with "Pulp Fiction," (a film perhaps known for a different type of cinema flare) went on to be some of the most influential trends and topics that we still discuss today.
The 90s was a decade defined by influential culture that is still incredibly relevant today. Movies like Pulp Fiction, the Titanic, and Clueless are still widely viewed today, and fashion trends like the choker have made a total comeback.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post! It's really interesting to see how many of the fashion trends that were 'in style' in the 90's are making a comeback into today's fashion world. It's also interesting how the movies from the decade continue to resonate with audiences and remain favorites.
ReplyDeleteCool not only to see the significance of 90's culture during the 90's, but the impact that it has had on modern society. There are many great pieces of art and style from that time period that are still enjoyed and used today so I found it interesting to read the information written in this article and make connections to its contemporary effects.
ReplyDeleteThey say that fashion repeats itself every 30 years, but I think there is more to the story. Accessories such as the choker that you mentioned represent rebelliousness and nonconformity, which were prevalent themes for teenagers in the 90s and today. I feel like the culture of the 90s is so relevant to us because it was the age in which TV shows branched out to adolescents exclusively, rather than to adults or kids.
