In the second paragraph of "Movies and American Society" it mentions that movies show us "how to dress, how to look, or what to buy." Movies also tend to say how a person's body should be shaped, that women should wear makeup to be pretty, etc... Movies penetrate society on many levels of how we think about ourselves and other people, some times I wonder if its safe to watch them, but then I think of how much fun I have watching them and communicating with others about the movie which is also mentioned in "Movies and American Society." --Ashley Wilkins | In the second paragraph of "Movies and American Society" it mentions that movies show us "how to dress, how to look, or what to buy."

| − | I had just a quick question about "Hollywood's America...." It mentions that some theaters were called nickelodeons at one point in time (page 10)because it cost a nickel to view the production. I was curious if the children's channel Nickelodeon was somehow a spinoff of those theaters, or just something completely unrelated. --Ashley Wilkins | + | I had just a quick question about "Hollywood's America...."
