No they don’t. China Syndrome had no effect on nuclear power reactors, we’re twitchy about nuclear because A - we bombed Japan, and B - 3 Mile Island.

Oh look, there you go with the insults. Thus proving you know the facts don’t back you.
No movies don’t change society. Where was the big rise of Christianity after Passion? Lots of folks thought that movie would massively remake America, it sure did make money, but then it went away. Part of the problem is even the biggest hit movie is still really only seen by a small section of society. The new Star Wars is going to make hundreds of millions of dollars in its run and will be seen by less than 5% of the population. You don’t remake society on under 5%. Maybe a long time ago when we were a much smaller country with a much smaller entertainment industry and a much higher percentage of the population would consume the same thing. But if those days existed they passed over 100 years ago and will never come back. We are no longer a shared experience society.
You’re an idiot.
