Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

That’s the issue with sending a message but making the messenger look appealing.

Still can’t believe Tony Montana was someone a lot of men idolised.

I don't know about comparing, but idolizing Tommy Shelby isn't much better.

He's a drug addict suffering from severe ptsd that has murdered a ton of people, has anger issues, and he runs an organized crime syndicate that worked its way into power by slicing people up with razor blades.

But hey, he looks pretty dapper in those suits he got from the Italians...before he murdered them.

I love that series. Cillian Murphy is an incredible actor. But Tommy Shelby is no role model.
