Operational cinema

The exploitation cinema or film exploitation is a cinematographic category in which the films are grouped whose theme addresses topics or details of lascivious interest, typical of exploitation fiction, the genre of fiction that bases its appeal on morally unacceptable and socially scandalous issues such as human sexual behavior , eroticism, violence, crime or drug use. The term "exploitation" refers to the recurrence of a topic or current in a group of cinematographic productions, generally of low budget, that pretend to obtain commercial success and be placed within the popular cult with its scabrous themes, rather than with its aesthetic quality 

Features  

The exploitation cinema has the main characteristic of portraying themes related to exploitation fiction, which can include: eroticism , implicit sex, explicit sex, real sex, semi-nude, nude , homosexuality , transgender , masturbation , BDSM , death , murder , massacre , recreational use of drugs , consumption of alcoholic beverages , crime , juvenile delinquency , suicide , war , mutilation , cannibalism , interraciality , prostitution , sexual abuse , kidnapping , organized crime , disaster , traffic accidents , detonation of weapons, animal abuse , induced abortion and occultism . His film genres are varied, but they necessarily imply an emphasis on a lascivious detail or effect, rather than an emphasis on the main plot such as murder and massacre in thriller genre films or sex in genre films romantic. Some issues such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, occultism, interraciality, homosexuality and transgender have lost social uproar but were subjects of a great scandal in the development and boom of the exploitation cinema between the 1950s and the 1970s.

The films of the exploitation cinema are usually of low-production, the reason why its main objective is to obtain economic profits with plots and exaggerated publicity that attracts the public with its morbid thematic ones. Although, the films of the exploitation cinema are usually of poor production, limited distribution and low quality, there are examples that have attracted the attention of critics and have been placed within the popular cult for their aesthetic quality, such as the film Caligula ( 1979), film directed by Tinto Brass that was produced with a great economic investment and that is conserved within the popular cult for its risquéimages of real sex .

Camp aesthetics, kitsch aesthetics, naive character and black humor are often key attributes of this type of film, as they were generally made experimentally and under very limited distribution. One of the main characteristics of the exploitation films is that they are made as a current, that is, they are produced in a specific period of time (normally limited to a decade), taking advantage of the popular themes at that time and addressing to a very specific market (Example: The biker cinema appears in the postwar period as a current commercially dedicated to attracting young men with images of burly rebellious men and beautiful women who traveled in lawless highway scenes, taking advantage of the nascent subcultures of the rock culture and the culture of the road like rocker , greaser , rockabilly and leather , subcultures that prevailed in the popular image of the 1950s to the 1970s).

Many streams of exploitation cinema correspond to the projection of international cinema since some currents are not originally from the United States (Italy, Australia, England, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico and Germany). These films achieve an international projection due to their aesthetic quality or their introduction to the popular cults, such as the films of the genre Spaghetti Western of Italy and the cinema of martial arts of Hong Kong, which achieved an international projection because they were televised in different countries in the weekend schedules.  

The classification of these films is usually subjective and varies according to criticism and personal positions, such as the film The Passion of the Christ (2004) which is widely considered a gore movie, because it emphasizes the suffering, torture and death of the main character , but which is acclaimed by an audience that is not aware of the exploitation trends. In the modern examples of cinema and exploitation are films that are cataloged as "tributes" or " revivals ", since they are films after the boom period of the exploitation cinema that retake these themes, details or aesthetics (Example: the movie Jackie Brown (1997) which is considered a revival of the blaxploitation cinema of the 70s).

History  

Between the oldest antecedents of the exploitation cinema they appear experimental short films of the silent cinema like Le Coucher de la Mariée (1896), a film considered like the first pornographic film that stars Louise Willy, a cabaret actress, doing a striptease and having sexual intercourse with a man.  Another primitive example of film exploitation is the short film Electrocuting an Elephant (1903), a video documenting the electrocution of Topsy, an Asian elephant sentenced to sacrifice by the owners of a circus after causing the death of her trainer. The Great Train Robbery (1903), besides being considered as a cornerstone in the development of cinematographic techniques, bases its plot on a real story, adorned with special effects such as the detonation of weapons, police pursuit sequences and complementary themes such as the assault and banditry. 

The movie Traffic in Souls (1913) is considered as the first film with thematic of exploitation, because it portrayed the controversial issue of human trafficking in the United States during the period in which the American society faced social panic over the issue of Prostitution The film caused a great social commotion, because, in spite of being condemned by the popular critic as an obscene and immoral work, it generated great economic gains. 6 This movie followed Where Are My Children?(1916), a controversial film whose plot portrays the trials of a doctor accused of performing abortions on women of high socio-economic classes, among whom is the wife of the investigator who took him to trial.  

During the First World War, outbreaks of syphilis declined in the United States military, so the distribution of materials for sex education began to be distributed to members of the military, university students and women of childbearing age. In this current appear films like Fit to Fight (1918), Fit to Win (1919), Damaged Goods (1919) and The End of the Road (1919), films distributed by various hygiene committees in the United States, which prevented on the fatal consequences of syphilis and recommended abstinence, giving rise to the film of exploitation Cautionary .  These films opened the door for more films to be produced with daring themes, since they were of little investment and great profits, initiating a current that would stop until the stipulation of censorship parameters in the audiovisual media in the middle of the 1930s

To the period in which the audiovisual media and printed publications were not under any content restriction is known as Pre-code Hollywood; In this period, sexual and criminal issues address the screens and intensify the production of lascivious cinema. The exploitation films of this period were provocative and regularly addressed issues such as crime, prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, premarital sex, the American cabaret scene and the gangster lifestyle. These themes were clearly influenced by the stories published in popular distribution pulps, stories of romance, science fiction or adventures that were characterized by their particular narrative tone and their aggressive, heroic or adventurous characters. In the Pre-code period appear provocative titles in the cinema, such as Madam Satan (1930), Laughing Sinners (1931), Safe in Hell(1931), The Devil is Driving (1932), Merrily We Go to Hell (1932), Red-Headed Woman (1932), Laughter in Hell (1933), The Story of Temple Drake (1933), Female (1933) and The Road to Ruin (1934), films with titles that referred to vice and sin and that they corresponded to the period of economic recovery of the United States after the Crisis of 1929 .

Derived from the intensive production of films with themes considered immoral, the Hays Code is stipulated in the year of 1934 as a measure to regulate the content of audiovisual media and printed media, so that the films become intensely watched by government officials that prohibited scenes considered obscene. 9Between 1934 and 1962, the film directors intervened the scenes to circumvent the parameters of the Hays Code (example: the homoerotic choreography of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) choreographed by Jack Cole for the segment Is not There Anyone Here for Love, segment showing a group of burly men exercising around Jane Russell, but who managed to evade the anti-homosexuality parameters of the Hays Code by locating around a heterocentric icon like Russell). The code began to weaken after the 1960s, allowing the partial circulation of controversial films such as Lolita (1962), a film that had a segmented segment to be distributed and that left to the imagination the plot proposed by Vladimir Nabokov. 

From the 1960s a series of social changes on human sexuality and gender condition, known collectively as the Sexual Revolution, intensified. Derived from this, appears the boom of more explicit exploitation cinema that was no longer regulated by any law of censorship and was consecrated as an expression of the First Amendment. This cinematographic boom is favored by the prevalence of criminal and police genre in popular taste, the growing emergence of youth countercultures, the explicit introduction of LGBT thematic in cinema, the Blockbuster era of cinema and the intensive production of pornography ( Porno chic ) . The legal parameters on the prohibition of pornography in the United States are weakened in 1957 with the ruling that equated the pornographic female nude with art ( Roth v United States ), which softened American morals and allowed the creation of sexploitation films and sex comedy movies from 1966, when the Hays Code is officially removed from the jurisdiction, forcing films to be classified as "adult films" ( X-rated ) when they contained allusions to sex, drug use or the strong violence.
