Abstract

In the world of cinema, the evolution of screen images and storylines reflects social change and cultural concepts. From late twentieth-century classics to present-day films, Hollywood's depiction of diverse cultures has documented shifts in our interpretations of gender, roles, and identities, driven by market demands and audience expectations.

Keywords
