You pups.
Movies do not change society, but society changes movies as well as any form of storytelling, whether the fire lights the speakers face in haunting ways, or shines through the celluloid to put the image on the screen.
Midnight Cowboy
To Sir, with Love
Blackboard Jungle
The Defiant Ones
I Want to Live
(and to get briefly more recent ... one of my favorites: Falling Down)
These are just a couple meager examples of older movies that really speak to societal change. In fact nearly every movie carries with it some aspect of this (yes, even those lame-ass costume dramas that get shown frequently on the Turner Classic Movies).
