The lush atmospherics of the group of 1970s scifi motion pictures best described as 'the naive films' are undeniably the greatest feats of human cinematography...relax as we reach our conclusions
One must view such classics as the total sum of all that is required within the human race. The key elements of such a text is thus, and should be considered carefully before reaching a rash summation.

Firstly, the lead character or characters must be naive of both the importance of their situation and the context in which they are living in. For example, if one considers "Logan's Run", it is evident that the lead character is naive of both the dictatorial and autonomic strucuture of their society, and is unaware of the expansive land outside the said society. Thus, we could conclude that this film is perhaps the perfect example of the naive film. Perhaps its only flaw is the inclusion of the thing that stops many other films truly achieving naivity, namely the 'token' love interest. The pursuit of carnal fulfillment represents too significant amount of knowledge for the lead character to acquire before the viewers eyes. Logan's Run survives as it only deals with the perdominant mystery of love, as opposed to the fact of sex, the downfall of many of the 'semi naive' films, such as 'Don't look now'

Yet there are other elements which must be taken into account. An underlying morality must lie beneath the text before we are even to question its naivity. Furthermore, in all of the mentioned films, ethics are held firmly against the capitalist
wave of profiteering and consumerism. The characters within "Dark Star" have been sent on a mission to destroy rogue planets in order to protect the earth. Yet the film is intent on showing the audience how such actions are unjust. This is achieved through the philosophical arguament between the time bomb and the pilot.

In conclusion, not only should a naive film be free of all attempts to play up to the consumer, a truely naive film will be totally naive to context, yet utterly aware of ethics.
