Recently, several academic papers have been published on this film. One of the papers evaluated the movie as follows: “Traditional cinema should end when the audience has finished watching the movie. Therefore, movies were not designed for on-the-spot dialog.” However, “the film ‘Future Shutter’ is a film in which diverse actors who have seen the film have a …… future session, which …, for the diverse actors …, leads to the discovery of their individual strengths and awareness of the feasibility of collaboration, leading to a This leads to behavioral change for the future.
