the end of the 1960s counterculture

Films like 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975) and 'Hair' (1979) explore the clash between individualistic counterculture values and institutional authority at the movement's twilight.

'Apocalypse Now' (1979) uses the Vietnam War as a backdrop to examine the moral collapse and disillusionment that ended the idealistic promise of 1960s counterculture.
