💬 Are there movies that were bad for the public consciousness?

Not talking about propaganda films — more like pop culture hits that unintentionally warped public perception or had weird real-world consequences. Here are a few examples that come to mind: 1️⃣ Jaws — Even the writer regretted it. It planted a deep fear of sharks and spread the myth of them as rogue man-eaters. 2️⃣ Finding Nemo — Led to a spike in clownfish sales by parents who had no clue how to care for them. 3️⃣ Sideways — One misinterpreted line and Merlot sales tanked for years. 4️⃣ The Wolf of Wall Street — Some folks somehow walked out thinking Jordan Belfort was a role model. 5️⃣ Rom-coms — Controversial take, but I think many helped normalize drama and emotional chaos as signs of “true love.” 6️⃣ Scarface — The amount of posters and merch idolizing Tony Montana is wild considering he’s literally a tragic warning, not a success story. Any other movies you think fall into this category — stuff that did more harm than good in the way people think or behave? #FilmDiscussion #MovieTalk #Movies #MovieLovers
