When I was a little younger, movies back then were something everyone talked about and it was the era of VHS you know. I remember vividly watching one of my old time greats RAMBO - FIRST BLOOD from part 1 to the last.
The influence movies have on children is far-fetched to a point where we could try to act like these guys while playing but also such things led to bad fights in schools. Someone would want to be Rambo thinking they can beat and fight everyone, or another superman fighting badman, and the question would be let us see Who is the Badest?
This influence is so deep that it goes beyond the subconscious mind and we find people actually want to live or act like what they have seen. Don't blame the so many hair styles introduced in the early 90s or dress codes whatever you could call it - today the fashion industry has made billions of money through showcasing their costumes or clothes in movies, music videos, drama etc.
I once had a weird thought at the time when LRA was at the height of its killing back in the 1998, I was in primary seven then and I once told a friend of mine that if the Government could just higher the services of Arnold Schwarzenegger he would be everyone and clear the whole of Kony and his rebels, but this thought was far fetched... and it wasn't possible then.
But think about the influence it can have, imagine the things being created out there and the impact it has, sometimes we see people mad and we don't know where it came from, but there is lots of things happening that we don't know the source, It could just be coming from the screen you watch every evening or night before sleep, so watch out what you watch because the influence might be deeper than you think even upon you who thinks you have a sound mind. #Movies #Influence
