Today, the American Dream is not fully represented in the same way as the ideas originally discussed. The ideas were made primarily in the early days of our country. The propagandistic role of any media has changed as much as the times since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In contemporary America, cinema is the main element in the propagation and depreciation of the American dream. The film The Pursuit of Happyness (2005) supports the idea of ​​the American Dream set forth by our Founding Fathers. Wall Street (1987), on the other hand, supports and detracts from the true American dream and leads people to believe, what many people already believe, that the dream of financial success is a dream. Film propaganda has been a great advocate of this shift in ideas of the American dream in the 20th and 21st centuries. The core ideas of the American Dream and the ways in which we are exposed to them are constantly evolving. Today, for many people, the American dream is to own a big house and a nice car. . Although the term "American Dream" was not introduced until 1931 by James Truslow Adams, it originated with the signing of the Declaration of Independence (Where is the American Dream?). The founding fathers spoke of this dream not in terms of monetary success, but in terms of the ability and freedom to be as successful as you work hard and not in terms of what or who you are. The result of such freedom could then be owning a big house and a nice car. One of the most infamous sentences from the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with a certain unique medium. ....tent.com/article/111892/the_american_dream_in_literature.html?cat=38>.Munday Jr., Dr. John C.
