BSTRACT
Cinema, often regarded as a mirror reflecting societal values, has undeniably become a powerful influencer
in shaping the worldviews of young people. In the digital age, where screens are omnipresent, the impact
of cinema on the perspectives, beliefs, and attitudes of the youth cannot be underestimated. This article
explores the multifaceted influence of cinema on the worldviews of young individuals and the implications
it holds for their personal and societal development.

NTRODUCTION
Cinema in the modern world is one of the
youngest and at the same time very popular mass
arts. Its influence on people, including young
people, is noticeable, since they have not yet fully
formed their own worldview. The topic of the
complex impact of ci
nema on a person’s inner
world is very relevant today, due to the fact that
lifestyle, feelings, psychological and social
models, a worldview system, and moral values
are being imposed on the younger generation
from the TV screen.
In modern life, the Internet and the latest
technologies are actively used. Young people

spend a significant amount of time on social
networks. Virtual life is beginning to replace real
reality. To attract the audience, there are many
promotions online for attractive products and
services to make life simpler and easier. And
young people happily escape from everyday
difficulties, become thoughtless consumers of
goods, do not want to think about problems and
look for their solutions. A young man or girl who
chooses comfort and convenience abandons
spirituality, becomes callous and indifferent to
the problems of others, and is unable to
sympathize and empathize. After all, when you
are warm and comfortable, you don’t want to
think that somewhere there are hungry and
disadvantaged peop
le, you don’t want to leave
your comfort zone, endure inconvenience for the
sake of someone who needs help. This happens
thanks to attractive and sometimes very intrusive
advertising of a beautiful, carefree life.
Today, sociologists are sounding the alarm about
the active broadcast of violence in the mass
media, scenes of sophisticated murders on the
screen, and the spread of bloody computer games,
the cynicism of which surpasses all moral
barriers.
It is difficult not to notice and cannot be ignored
the negative impact on the consciousness of
modern children and young people. Modern life is
like a game in which we do not set the rules and
true human values are replaced by false ones.
Young people begin to be proud of negative
character traits, the ability to show aggression,
arrogance, and rudeness. This process of
influencing the fragile minds and souls of young
people certainly needs to be resisted. And it
exists, so let’s pay attention to the positive aspects
of the influence of cinema.
The formation of a worldview is a complex
process that entails serious personal changes as a
result of the impact on the mental and cognitive
essence of a person.
There are three main types of formation of a
person’s worldview: spo
ntaneous, purposeful
and self-education. And it is precisely the
spontaneous form that we need to talk about
when it comes to watching movies in offline or
online cinemas, where changes in a person’s
personal sphere sometimes occur violently,
sometimes imperceptibly, but in essence, always
as a result of random influences.
Cinema is valuable for the education and
formation of personality, not only as one of the
best means of reproducing reality, but also as a
way of understanding it. The character of boys
and girls is characterized by romantic elation and
intense emotionality.
The effectiveness of psychological influence is
directly dependent on the content of the film, an
interesting topic and the ability to interest the
audience, find contact with it and unobtrusively
contribute to the formation of a worldview.
The intellectual development of university
students often outstrips their emotional
development. Films help correct this situation
and contribute to the formation of a
comprehensively developed personality.

Cinema is one of the most popular art forms
among young people, as it arouses fairly stable
interest among young people. Therefore, with the
help of high-quality cinema, it is possible to form
a personality in the right direction.
The technical capabilities of cinema provide
special clarity of information about events,
situations, tragedies and joys that occur in real
life, which each of us has heard about at some
point, but was able to understand and deeply feel
only after seeing it on the screen. Cinema makes
this information as accessible as possible for
perception. Film frames evoke a sensory display
of objects of reality, informing about a specific
situation and practical actions.
The story of director M. Romm convinces that
cinema is a powerful
means: “Cinematic
documents of this kind turned out to be so strong
that, to use Eisenstein’s terminology, the viewer
was “knocked out.” He closed his eyes and could
not look at the screen.
We are connected to the world around us by many
intricately woven threads. A talented film helps us
unravel them. It contains a large amount of
various information: the viewer perceives it
without realizing it. Sitting in the cinema, young
people, it would seem, are not even trying to
remember, understand, or delve into anything...
They just sit, watch, listen (often while crunching
popcorn...).
But still this passivity is deceptive. Having relaxed
outwardly, boys and girls inevitably experience
serious internal tension due to the active work of
the brain, which records
everything, “puts it
aside” in memory and someday, if necessary, due
to some set of circumstances, it will reproduce
this “experience”. This is how cinema can help to
more fully reveal and use all the capabilities and
reserves of each individual. A. S. Makarenko said:
“You cannot raise a courageous person if you do
not put him in conditions where he could show
courage” (A. S. Makarenko, 1990). This is a fair
statement based on the rich teaching experience
of Anton Semenovich. Indeed, it is difficult to raise
a hero in hothouse conditions only on stories
about the exploits of epic heroes. On the other
hand, creating artificial difficulties is stupid and
illogical. A contradiction arises, which cinema
helps to cope with. The film serves as a kind of
simulator, creating proposed circumstances that
require decision making.
The outstanding film director S. M. Eisenstein
(1946) remarked on this matter: “Art allows a
person, through empathy, to fictitiously create
heroic deeds, fictitiously go through great mental
upheavals, fictitiously... feel like a wise Faust, a
passionate Romeo... As a result The viewer
experiences a completely real, concrete
satisfaction from such a “fictitious” act.”
There are many examples in life of the similar
influence of good films: I watched it and looked at
the world differently, something changed in my
soul. But basically, a person does not change
immediately after watching; it is not a sudden, but
a gradual impact.
The influence of works of screen art on the
developing personality occurs inevitably and very
actively, but in a rather complex way. Cinematic

ideas are perceived by young viewers not as an
extraneous force, but as matured within
themselves. Each viewing of a film here already
acts as an educational event that needs special
organization and must have a clear plan and a
strictly defined theme. This should (or could) be
done by parents in childhood, and by academic
group curators who perform educational
functions when they are students. The creators of
outstanding films always try to reveal on the
screen the thoughts, experiences, and characters
of people through expressive means - acting,
speech, actions and behavior of the characters.
The art of the screen has the ability to master
aspects of life that cannot be directly captured by
a film camera. Cinema, just like literature and
theater, strives to penetrate into the internal
processes of human spirituality and makes the
mystery of the birth of ideas, emotions, and
motives of individual behavior the direct subject
of its research. The movie screen makes it
possible to test what a modern person is capable
of, what the internal resources of the individual
are in various difficult conditions. And this should
be used when organizing educational work with
student youth. Film director I. Kheifits wrote
about the power of cinema: “The viewer always
longs to mentally shake hands with such “his guy”
and thank him for saying the cherished words for
the person sitting in the hall and doing what the
person sitting in the hall would like to do. But he
did it more skillfully, and most importantly, at the
most opportune moment.” The more sensitive a
person is, the more attentive he is to others, the
more responsible he is about his responsibilities,
the more modest he behaves in society. Such a
person is able to empathize and sympathize,
provide help, and share someone else’s
misfortune. Young people need to cultivate a
culture of feelings in order to form certain views
and beliefs. The idea of forming a young man’s
morality by influencing his emotional sphere was
defended by K. D. Ushinsky: “Nothing
- not words,
not thoughts, not even our actions express
ourselves and our relationship to the world as
clearly and truly as our feelings” ( K. D. Ushinsky,
1974; pp. 117
–
118).
Thus, the best films, as young people consider
them to be, essentially become a kind of life
textbooks, however, the full educational function
of modern cinema cannot be viewed in a
simplified manner, in analogy with the impact of
cinema on generations of young people of
previous generations.
Our life is becoming significantly more
complicated, its perception today also requires
much more complex and intense efforts and,
therefore, demanding simple answers to the most
important questions from film authors is at least
naive and, by and large, pointless. Young people
do not want ready-
made and simple recipes “on a
silver platter”; they want to “get to everything”
themselves. It is commendable. However, in this
case, a modern work of cinema should be such
that the viewer does not try
to “understand” its
“true” meaning, but actively works to find “his
own” meaning, adequate to his current needs,
interpreting the information presented in the
work by its author.

Cinema serves as a window into diverse cultures,
allowing young audiences to explore and
understand perspectives beyond their immediate
surroundings. Exposure to different languages,
traditions and customs through cinema broadens
their cultural horizons, fostering tolerance and
empathy. For example, a teenager from Tokyo can
vicariously experience life in New York through
Hollywood films, thus breaking down geographic
and cultural barriers.
Social Issues and Awareness:
Modern cinema has become a powerful platform
for solving pressing social problems. The films
often tackle topics such as inequality,
discrimination, climate change and mental health,
giving young audiences the opportunity to engage
with complex social issues. The emotional impact
of a well-made film can spark debate and inspire
activists, motivating young people to become
agents of positive change.
Formation of values:
Characters depicted in films can become role
models for young people, influencing their moral
compass and values. Whether it's a superhero
fighting for justice or a protagonist grappling with
ethical dilemmas, these on-screen characters help
shape a young person's sense of right and wrong.
Cinematic narratives often touch on universal
themes of love, friendship, sacrifice and
resilience, shaping the ethical foundations of
youth.
Cinematic literacy:
Film language is a unique form of literacy.
Understanding film techniques, narrative
structures, and visual storytelling improves
critical thinking skills in young audiences. Film
analysis not only deepens understanding of the
art form, but also develops insightful thinking to
deconstruct media messages and separate fiction
from reality.
Personality Research:
Adolescence is a period of self-discovery, and
cinema gives young people the opportunity to
explore different aspects of identity. Films that
depict characters struggling with identity, be it
gender, sexuality or culture, can resonate deeply
with young viewers going through similar
journeys. This representation promotes a sense of
significance and inclusivity.
C
ONCLUSION
The influence of cinema on the worldview of
young people is complex and profound. While it
opens doors to different cultures, encourages
critical thinking and builds moral values, it also
creates problems of perpetuating stereotypes and
unrealistic expectations. As cinematic narratives
continue to evolve, it is critical for educators,
parents, and society at large to engage in
conversations that will help young audiences
navigate the complex interactions between film
and real life. By improving media literacy and
encouraging reflective approaches, we can ensure
that cinema becomes a positive force in shaping
the views of young people for generations to
come.
