Abstract

The New Age Movement (NAM) emerged in Western society in the 1970s as a decentered religious and spiritual social phenomenon. Although New Age Movement ideas are inspired by the world's major religions (Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism), they are particularly influenced by Western occultism, Eastern religions, and neo-paganism, and have developed widely. The broad inclusiveness of the New Age movement's ideas made it more accessible to the general public, and it spawned a variety of literary works. Hollywood movies in the 1970s can be seen in most of the works of the New Age Movement, and the subject matter of the movies can also be widely extended because of the New Culture Movement. Examining the relationship between the New Age Movement and Hollywood movies makes it easier to understand the reasons for the rapid growth of the movie industry in different time periods.
