He meaning of lifestyle is a very new and novelty concept and it is about half of a century which this concept is discussed. The lifestyle concept is a part of new world and modernity. As David Cheney said in modern society people use lifestyle concept to explain their reactions. People shape their tastes and values by using media. In the other hand values, relations and behavior of people have changed in the format of modernity and tradition, although these two issues have become very crucial and challengeable issues in this century.

Cinema industry due to best selling movies and lots of viewers has become one of the most reliable evidence for studying the lifestyle of viewers and film makers.
