Do movies and the film stars have an impact on peoples life style?

This is especially when people are young. When I was in school, my father got me a pair of earrings and this was similar to those worn by actress SarojaDevi. I used to keep a long bindi like her on my forehead , and imagined mysef to be Saroja devi when I wore a chudidhar and a shawl with polka dots in it [exactly like the one worn by the actress]I also used to sing all her film songs; till date I keep the long bindi on my forehead[as a matter of habit and because this suits me \] but as I said this is typical of young age. As we grow older, stricly speaking one should be more mature and live according to one's own status in life and it would be rahter silly for people to get influenced.

OH yes I do... I watched those really cool drama series from korea way back in my home country... and most of the people are crazy to them specially girls... they are trying to copy everything mostly the hairstyles, the dress.... and everything... its funny we dont have four seasons there but you can see some people using scarf as if it is spring or winter... and the colors too.. those really bright colors are now every where..lol

Hi Kiran! I think many youngsters get carried away by the mannerisms of heroes and heroines in the movies and try to wear dress like them.

Like what you wrote ,yes,there was an impact to other people. Like their lifestyle ,dress and hair style. Some people who admire those celebrity really follow their favorite stars life style and take some tips from their movies also. This is really odd,but it's reality though. have a good day jaiho®

Yes!!! They are great influence and always give impact to others!!! It is good if they give a good impacts but very bad if it vice versa. What I see right now they give more bad than good examples not just to adult but to the youngster as well.. Sometimes it makes me think twice to buy and support their career like watching their movies, buy their CDs etc as it just like supporting their bad lives. And people now seems they just close their eyes to it and continue support the celebrities.

Yes, you are right. Those celebrities do have some impact on our life. We tend to copy their hairstyle, dresses and some nice mannerisms while they speak. For myself, i like looking at their dresses , bags and shoes and would try to buy some like that also although not the branded ones. Nice to feel and look like a celebrity sometimes.

Movies,the Actors,and the characters portrayed definitely have the ability to affect people's lives in one way or another,whether it be inspiring or following retro or current fashion,product placement influencing our shopping choices,Admiration for a Character's ideals,(Or their attractiveness!) or emulating their actions in positive or negative ways..

Hello Kiran ji, no doubt peoples have impact of film stars on their life style. People adopt their hair style, design of their cloths. In early days when films were the main means of entertainment then people follow their style more.

Not only life styles but maybe way of thinking also. I find that many of the touching movies have themes that are close to our lives and we find that we know more about life in general. Recently I watched a movie called "My Sister's Keeper", it was so touching and I find out about some parents' attitude towards their child, it may differ so much from one child to another. Of course, what you said is also true, in Asia, Korean dramas are very popular now, and I see people wearing clothes from Korea, food from Korea and some friends are learning the Korean language, it really has a great impact on our lives.

That is true, when we watch a movie we want to implement it in our lives, we see this in the clothes and hairs, but we see this in people acts too, some people try to do things they learn in moves, that sometimes is good and sometimes is bad. I like the Godfather movies, so, I dress myself like the Godfather and I try to speak like him inside the class, "I am a teacher", it is good for me because the students like this and they play this like a game. thank you and have a nice day.

Of course it has an impact.. I often find myself imitating the hairstyles of my favourite actresses!

The answer is YES indeed. But not on all the people of this planet. The majority of the people who were affected age wise are the teens.(and children too). And also a section of the people who are living their life with minimal income and comforts. As people grew age wise and financially also, sure they will have no time to think of the cinemas. In a nutshell, those who take the entertainment as full time living has an impact of the film stars. I wish to ascertain one thing : THIS IS MY PERSONAL VIEW. Any one or all of our friends who differ with me kindly bear with me.

Yes, the most popular ones have impact on people's lifestyle, not only to a certain extent but sometimes, for a long time. I'm one of those affected by my parents' admiration for a once very popular Philippine actor. I am named after him. Although it's a good thing because, had my parents stayed true to the practice at that time of naming the children born on a saint's feast day after the saint that day, as listed in the Catholic Almanac, I would have been called Pedro, which, in its root word, means "Rock." Now, my family name "Bantiles" is a Visaya word for "flint" or "hard stone," and the Malay word for "hard pebble." So, had my parents called me "Pedro," I would have carried the double burden of being called "Mr. Rock Hard Stone" or "Mr. Rock Flintstone" or "Mr. Rock Hard Pebble" hahaha... Seriously though, if the popular film star is exemplary, the act of imitating him/her will raise the level of culture and character of the people. If not, well, another good film can always be produced and a new set of wholesome actors and actresses chosen to play the part. I just hope that the producers, film stars, and the movie industry are aware of their crucial role in society and their capacity to guide or mislead.

Hi kiran8, Movies and film stars have a big impact on people's lives. Most especially the teenagers. They idolize celebrities and copy their hairstyle, clothes, accessories, and even mannerisms. If the movie is wholesome, and the actor or actress portray the character well in the movie, then, it convey a good message for others. However, if the movie is about violence, emotions are high; it also affects how people behave after they'd seen the movie.

This is true. Movies and actors can play a part in the lifestyle of ordinary people. Aside from hairstyles and designs, people tend to copy expressions and behavior of their favorite celebs. I know of some people who imitated certain movie scenes like courtship, confrontations, presentations, weddings, parties, etc.
