The themes we see in movies have changed a lot over time. Instead of showing how society has grown, they often reflect ongoing struggles. Here are some problems with this trend:

1. Repetitive Themes: Common themes like love and conflict keep being reused. This makes them less powerful and interesting.

2. Shallow Representations: Many modern films do not show important social issues deeply enough. They often simplify these topics, which can lead to misunderstandings.

3. Focus on Making Money: Big-budget movies usually care more about making money than about exploring meaningful themes. This leads to stories that feel the same and lack creativity.

To fix these problems, film studies should:

• Support Different Stories: Help independent filmmakers who want to tell real stories about complex social issues.
• Encourage Thinking Critically: Create programs that teach people to look closely at themes and stories in movies.
• Include Different Perspectives: Show more international and older films. This helps everyone understand and appreciate themes better.

By following these steps, movies can start to showcase richer and more relevant themes.
