The movies and their influence on society

Sometimes people have claimed, that movies would not have an influence on society, but in fact, there is one problem of those things. If somebody wants to make pure propaganda, would that person use the film as the document, and that makes the film a very dangerous tool. In this text, I will write about movies, where is not used the flash photographs or subliminal messages, what would make the propaganda more effective and influential than the normal movie, what can use as the tool of propaganda.

The thing is that this kind of propaganda is hard to resist if it would introduce as the documentary and authentic information. In history is a very good example, when the media or radio broadcast have almost caused the nuclear war. The radio drama "The war of the worlds" what was piloted by the Orson Welles caused almost the national emergency when people thought that the USA was under the attack, and called to the police and Pentagon because they were listening to that broadcast.

The influence of the movies, what is pure fiction to the collective societies has not actually any researches, but the thing is that if in the movies some part of people is always demonized, and they are introducing as the "bad people", will that cause hate. The movies have great influence on the way of think of individuals if the people are watching violent movies at a very young age and if the adults will say, that the violence, what those people see in movies is tolerated.

And as the Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda of the Nazi-Germany said, when the lie is simultaneously repeating people are starting to believe it. This is the problem with the movies. Even if we know that they are pure fiction, they have an influence on the way of think of the people. If we think about the influence of the films to the individual people, we must realize that those things like violent movies teach the way of think to the people, who are watching those movies.

The problem with movies is that they can use to demonize the other people, and if the adults allow looking at the violence, and teach the children that the violence, what those youngsters see is right, would that cause very bad situations and in the worst case the result would be some kind of mass shooting. And if the movies are using in the wrong purpose, like teaching that violence is the solution for young people would the results be horrifying. So that's why the movie makers must feel their responsibility when they are making their product for entertainment purposes.
