In 1971, David Hockney created the portrait of Ossie Clark (a fashion designer) and his wife Celia Birtwell (a textile designer). A very well known couple in the British bohemian circles of that time. Although famous for his modern style, Hockney often related in his works to the ‘great masters’.
Apocalypse Now produced many memorable moments that have been imitated countless times.
One of my personal favorites, is the shot of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) emerging from the water before meeting Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). The image of the painted face emerging from the smokey water, uncertain of what’s ahead became so iconic and powerful, it was sure to be repeated.
In Mad Men’s season 3, episode 4, (”The Arrangements”), there is a cleaver reference to the film “Persona“.
After Betty’s Father has a stroke, Don convinces Betty’s brother that he will move in with them and that Betty will take care of him. His presence confronts Betty with some harsh realizations (mainly his impending death). Her strict, quiet manner leads her to repress her anger towards her father and the state she is forced into. Her true emotions are manifested in her daughter, Sally, as shown in this Persona reference.
