The Power Of Hollywood On Youngsters
Movies can have such a powerful effect on worldwide audiences that many fear that the new wave of films can be detrimental to society. Michael Moore and his latest films (Bowling for Columbine and Farenheit/911) are prime examples of what Hollywood can do to the easily impressed audiences. His film Farenheit/911, although very controversial and popular at the box-office was not strong enough to change the vote in the favor of Kerri. The most haunting and manipulative film this past century may be considered to be Lenny Riefenstahl Triumph of the Will. This film was the reason why so many German soldiers followed Hitler and began the biggest extermination in the history of cinema.
Despite thousands of TV appearances and other interviews in newspapers, Michael Moore was still beaten at his own game when a documentary tracing the positive qualities of Bush was released that same year. Bush won the election and Moore lost his appeal to have his film nominated for the Oscar in the best picture category.
On a less politically charged and serious note, Hollywood has mainly influenced style and skyrocketed the sales of certain products. In, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith sported a pair of Ray Bans and Will Smith gave its famous tagline "I make these look good."

The Karate Kid and Bruce Lee films flooded children, especially young boys to Martial art classes. The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Harry Potter films encouraged children to read more books. "Reading a book became a fun pastime. Something you could discuss with your friends and not be afraid of being uncool," says Julie Brown, a proud mother of two.
Open Water encouraged more scuba diving. Primer encouraged taking more physiques classes. Machiavelli Hangman (http://www.hangmanmovie.com) created an instant interest in the works of the Italian philosopher, Nicollo Machiavelli and his ethics.
"After Machiavelli Hangman, Machiavelli's doctrine books have been selling like mad and there's a surprising amount of searches on the internet engines like yahoo and google."
Hollywood may have a great influence on its viewers, but in the end, it always falls on the viewer's shoulders to make a rational decision. "Just because a film shows two people shooting each other dead, doesn't mean that you have to go out and do it. You use your common sense. If it was like that, everyone would be running around killing each other... with large tanks," says Brown.
