The Cultural Industry Theory • In 1944, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer wrote their critique of the media. • The large amount of advertising, imagery, films and popular music for sale in America was very different to what they knew from living in Germany. • Adorno and Horkheimer termed this as the ‘cultural industry’.
Films • The majority of films follow the same storyline, even today films haven’t changed that much. • Most films are inauthenticand repetitive. • However, not all films follow the normal conventions, some try to change the way films are made, but this doesn’t always work.
