For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.
com Focus on Society. Just as some books are
preserved and regarded as having had obvious
effects on society (such as Lolita, Lord of the
Flies, and Orwells Animal Farmand 1984), there
have been a number of films that we look back
upon which have clearly had cultural resonance,
or became part of a social dialogue were perhaps
still engaged with today (see Figure 9.1 of the
text). Our text tells us that the impact of
these movies is mostly unintentional and that
there is debate about whether the movies caused a
societal shift, or if a change in the culture
caused the movie to be created (see page 262).
