I do believe this statement rings true. Motion pictures have the ability to stimulate new ideas and opinions but they rarely do. It is safer, it seems, to create works that reflect what we as a society know, rather than what we don't (because that is what we fear.) It is easy to believe this statement because you always hear of the film that "broke through" or "made a statement." These few films, because they are the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda, create ideas and habits of a nation and then many more are created around this new, broad popular tendency.
