There are some movies made to reflect on the issues that persist in society. Then there are movies made in the name of social issues to gain profit.
Regardless of the motive, if a movie does a good job addressing the issue by helping the audience understand the problem and the necessary solutions, it has done its job well.
But does it really shape society or spark a movement?
Taking practical reality into consideration, most of the movies addressing societal problems do add at least a certain thought process and inception of a few references to stories that have been portrayed in the film.
However, they sometimes fail to translate this into real development outside the movie. This is because most of the time, movies are considered fiction, and the consequences and risks of standing up against these issues are often far greater than what can happen in daily life.
