The impact of films and cinema are most evident when analyzing in the search of what the films aim to portray.[1] Films are used to seek acceptance and understanding of many subjects because of the influence the films carry an example of an early representation of this can be seen in Casablanca 1942, the film introduced war subjects to the public after the United States entered World War ll, and it meant to increase pro war sentiment for the allies.[2] The films themselves are only a small part of the function, popular culture entails that film to reach the public in different manners that are identified within the public as generations. Parallels can be found in what people of your generation care about with what was major film in their generation. Although, the effectiveness of an individual films may not be exactly interpreted without massive research. The knowledge that films carry a vast influence is evident when assessing the popular culture to the films released during parallel years. Films are a known massive influencer to popular culture yet not all films create a movement that contributes enough to be part of the popular culture that starts movements. The content must resonate to most of the public so the knowledge in the material connects with the majority. Popular culture is a set of beliefs in trends and entail to change a person’s set of ideologies and create social transformation. [3] The beliefs are still a trend that change more rapidly in the modern age that carries a continuation of outpouring media and more specifically films. The trend does not last but it also carries a different effect based on individuals that can be grouped to generalized groups based on age and education. The creation of culture by films is seen in fandoms, religions, ideologies, and movements. The culture of film is more evident in the modern, social media is an instant source of feedback and it creates large movements at a faster pace.  Netflix is a massive trend setter in the modern era of popular culture. A repeating event that has been set in modern culture within the trend setting phase is the creation of movements in social media platforms to defend a featured subject on a film.[4]

Popular culture or mass culture, is reached easily with films which are easily shared and reached worldwide.
