Even if it was a small boom in the film industry with movies mainly inspired by the war, it didn’t last long because of the costs of the equipment, imported from America. The movies that people around Australia could see on the 1000 screens around Australia (by 1965) were mostly American and British films for young people inspired in the American lifestyle, like Butch and Cassidy or Easy Rider. In 1961, the pill changed the meaning of sexuality.

The influence of Hollywood can be seen increasing or decreasing the public’s perception of a person, group, or cause in the matter of moments. John Wayne is one that can be argued to have had am extremely large impact on the creation/influence of war films through personal views. In Allan Dwan’s film Sands of Iwo Jima, the most expensive film to date, he we give John Wayne the nod for the lead role of Sergeant Srkyer, whose job was to lead a group of inexperienced Marines into Iwo Jima. This would be Wayne’s first Academy Award nomination, thus solidifying his emerging influence in Hollywood. Though John Wayne had no military experience whatsoever, his political beliefs, and his portrayal of an American within his films helped him gain support from high national figures.

Despite the movie industry considering itself depression-proof, movie attendance and film revenues fell by 40 percent by 1933. However, because of innovations in film, like sound and color, most Americans had resumed their movie going habits by the mid 1930s. In spite of the economic changes, many Americans continued to value the same ideals they had in the past: family, the success ethic, self-initiative. These norms were largely depicted in American film of the Great Depression. Although some serious films began to question American society, most films celebrated the idea of a traditional wholesome American character, especially that of the average citizen.

In addition, moviemakers often combine historical reconstruction with their own fictional elements. If some war movies had been made in the times in which their storylines are located, the viewers would probably have not considered those movies racists.

The film noir is not a genre, as Raymond Durgnat pointed out quite accurately to the objection in the book "Hollywood in the Fortieth" by Hayyom and Greenberg (Hollywood in Soroca). This movie can not be defined in the same way as, for example, a western or gangster film: that is, through the scene of action and conflict. Rather, noir is determined by a combination of more elusive qualities of tone, image, intonation. First of all, "Noir", as a "black" film, is defined through the opposition to "gray" and "white" films. Like German expressionism and the French "new wave", the film noir represents a whole period in the history of cinema.
