How does the film industry influence us today?
It can have a critical impact on society benefiting people's perspectives and viewpoints leading to insightful yet deceiving walks of life. It can shed light on all kinds of situations and scenarios leading to better social awareness and biased opinions.
Positives of the film industry
Allowing us to promote different ideas values and beliefs
Allows for a variety of representations from different backgrounds
Sheds light on social issues
Causes influence and insight on political aspects
They help bring awareness to those who aren't looking into causes
Negatives in the film industry
However not all things promoted are good and can cause a negative impact on people especially with controversial views opposing many people.
Promotion of unideal unethical things setting bad examples with some being stereotypical and unrealistic beauty standards.
Profit-driven motives unfortunately sometimes advertisements will overshadow the main message/motto of the film with branding and image becoming more of a concern. With brand deals being considered more crucial.
I say take things with a pinch of salt.
Making the day out of it, going cinema, and spending months waiting for the release date can be thrilling causing suspense and a wonderful experience
(the film industry can also be known as our trendsetters).
However, movies can be a great conversation starter. It provides entertainment and better socialization skills.
My advice is to have a balanced perception for the next movie you watch and try to look out for a hidden meaning or a moral.
