The 1970s was a decade of immense political turmoil, marked by events such as the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. These events significantly impacted popular culture, prompting a wave of skepticism and rebellion. For example, the era's music reflected anti-establishment sentiments, with rock bands like Pink Floyd and punk groups like The Clash expressing social and political dissatisfaction in their lyrics. In cinema, films such as "All the President's Men" and "Apocalypse Now" mirrored the era's political tension and disillusionment.
