According to hooks, movies and other aspects of mass media and popular culture have a significant impact the way we think about love. Movies and popular culture often normalize dysfunctional relationships and family dynamics, all while perpetuating mistaken ideas about love. In addition, she notes that mass media portrayals of love tend to overemphasize the importance of romantic love above all other types of love, as well as the primacy of the nuclear family over diverse types of communities.
