Abstract

In the age of digital media, film as a digital medium has been heavily studied. However, most studies are focusing on the cultural influences and artistic aspects of film. The aim of this review is to evaluate film’s impact on the environment, labor, and society, which are rarely discussed together by scholars. Evidences reviewed in this paper have a variety of digital sources, range from blogs and online journals to movies and interviews. The evidences, collectively, implicate a corrupted nature of the production of popular cinema due to its reliance on capitalistic ideologies, suggesting the need for more efficient regulations on the film industry.
