The Paramount Decree and the Film Industry
The Paramount Decree initiated a lot of really important and good changes to the entertainment industry. The number of independent and art house movie theaters shot up from the 1950s onwardsindependent filmmaking was finally able to take off the number of international films being shown when up censorship was severely weakened. So why now after 70 years did this reversal happen? Okay I'm going to state the obvious but the film industry is so different than it was in 1948. In recent years there's been a huge move into streaming content and home release. A lot of films don't even see theatrical release anymore.
