Can a movie change the world?

[Dave Wells]

Zeitgeist is the word !

" I Am A Fugutive From A Chain Gang". Apparently changed the way prisons were run in the American Deep South in the '30s.

Yeah Dave, Zeitgeist has had an impact but there are still so many people who have never seen it.

It has had some impact buthas it changed the world?

Not really because the only way to do that is if the masses rose up and took over their governments and then it would be anarchy.

Back in the 60's/ 70's (earlier even) those film makers would have been considered subversive but htese days because of the apathy prevalent in our society it is just considered mere information.

The simply answer is: No!

Kingdom of Heaven let people see people of different cultures are all the same & its religon & not countries that cause war..

Forest Gump gave an insight into the world seen through a person with special needs but who had more credibility than most 'normal' people..

Bridget Jones caused a big rise in Single people buying 3 bedroom houses which is still causing hassle in todays house market..

It could be possible that a film cleverly written to include most peoples routines, lives & beliefs might influence a change one day.

Roots,though a TV program probably had the biggest effect.
