Mr. Manzo a teacher at North Hollywood had this to say when asked about films culture, “these films aren’t the only things that have left a legacy in society, it’s the style, the cinematography, the art, and the impactful messages left behind from these movies for the audience to take with them. Some directors have left us with the amazing and unique individual styles that have been recognized in the film industry.”

Those such as “Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielburg, Brian De Palma” with movies like Rear Window (1954), Full Metal Jacket (1987), Jaws (1975), Scarface (1983) have left an impact and legacy in the American film industry. 

Movies in modern society represent different messages when compared to the last 7 decades. Many are observant that films in each generation have evolved or been released to fit some type of interest or messages that need to be acknowledged for that society in time.

           Valeria Gopar, a student at North Hollywood when asked about what she thinks about when film pops in her head said “ I think about the motion pictures, the art, the overall messages projected through Film/Movies themselves” although Gopar isn’t very familiar with precise films and directors, she does appreciate the entirety of Film.
