I don't know who wrote the original post, but I'm curious, what is your friend writing about slo-mo from the 1970's? Seeing the posts, the seventies films, and the early ones, it seems the point of slo-mo has generally always been to create drama (and comedy through a parody of drama), though it is used with surprising paucity.
