Almost a third of Russians have chosen their future profession under the impression of the films they have watched. At the same time, the films The Wolf of Wall Street and The Devil Wears Prada turned out to be the most impressive.
28% of Russians admitted to the influence of cinema on the choice of profession. At the same time, 39% of respondents did not find any connection between their work and the films they watched.
Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, a satirical comedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio, took first place in the rating of films that influenced the choice of profession – it was named by 12.4% of respondents, and among men this result is higher – 15%. In second place is David Frenkel’s melodrama The Devil Wears Prada, based on the book of the same name by Lauren Weisberger (it was named by 10.7% of all respondents and 20% of women).
Taylor Hackford’s The Devil’s Advocate is next (9.9%), Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (8.2%), and Ron Howard’s biographical drama A Beautiful Mind closes the top 5 (7.6%).
Among domestic films, The Crew by Alexander Mitta (6.2%) and Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession by Leonid Gaidai (6.2%) were the leaders, followed by Alla Surikova’s The Man from Boulevard des Capucines (4.8%).
The study notes that marketers, advertising specialists, and PR spoke about the influence of The Devil Wears Prada and The Wolf of Wall Street on the choice of occupation. In addition, representatives of this sphere called the film “Dead Poets Society” directed by Peter Weir. The representatives of the IT sphere were influenced by the films “A Beautiful Mind” and “Iron Man”.
Interestingly, 57% of respondents agreed with the statement that what they once saw on the screen to a greater or lesser extent looks the same as in reality. Only 18% of respondents, having tried themselves in a profession chosen under the influence of cinema, said that what they saw on the screen did not at all coincide with the real state of affairs.
