Cultures outside of the U.S. would most likely be impacted by mafia and U.S. military decision-making practices. The list of Hollywood films and their impact outside the U.S. is endless. Any movie that you have seen can be linked to cultural value impact, but the effect may not linger.
*The Lord of the Rings, by J&R Tolkien, is essentially about the struggle between good and evil. However, due to recent global developments, it has been interpreted by many as the war between Christians and Muslims, even though there is no such reference made in either the book or movie.
*There are certain dimensions of culture, like the sense of style or aesthetics that might be influenced by movies, and realize a longer impact.
*Some sensitive dimensions of culture will backfire if attacked, and may beseech strong criticism, i.e. “religion and belief systems”, “social institutions”, or “values and attitudes”.
