Along with changes in various demographic variables like birth and death rates, the population structure of various developed countries like United States has changed considerably over past few decades. The population of immigrants is also steadily rising in the developed countries including United States with consequent changes in cultural and social values. This will be obviously reflected in the fiction and stories of these regions.

This trend of migration also describes what has happened to families over several generations as people left the countryside to work for American-owned companies in urban areas or across the border to find other employment.

This can be understood if one considers the example of various movies in which people from different cultural backgrounds are shown. One such movie is, “Lone Star”. It shows a Texas border town of Frontera which gives the example of crossroads of cultures. The conflicting social values are made worse by a military base and presence of various cultural themes. These include Anglo, Mexican-American, Mexican, African-American, military. The director of the movie John Sayles provides these cultures with voices in the varied mix of characters that populate his story (Donato, 903-965). Actually there are many subordinate stories around a major mystery story which provides the framework for everything else.

The mystery unfolds in the movie initially by the discovery of a 40-year old skeleton in the desert. The bony skeleton is that of Frontera's tyrant, a sheriff who ruled the town through violence and intimidation until he disappeared suddenly in 1957.

Sayles' tale not only spans generations but it works through cultures.

The representation of various cultures gives a touch of variety in the movie and actors have represented this multivariate culture beautifully. The characters are wonderfully drawn, and the actors that portray them constitute a great ensemble cast. Nobody takes precedence over others and all of them shine.

It appears that the main theme is well directed, the movie has a great script, and the actors have demonstrated their art of presenting various cultures remarkably. This movie once start going is not an emotional knockout, but gives the viewer is a very enjoyable journey from beginning to end. It gets a very high rating.

The representation of various cultures is depicted by several other stories that run side by side. One involves the sheriff's old flame, Pilar, which is wonderfully played by Elizabeth Pena, trying to explain to concerned parents why she's teaching high school history with a nontraditional slant. She is not relying on the accepted anglo-approved text, she is trying to show how cultures come together in both negative and positive ways. In the meantime, she is also fighting on two other fronts, with her feelings for Sam and coping with an unruly teenage son.

Lone Star is a great American movie, one of the few movies to seriously try to regard with open eyes the way Americans live now. Although until very recently the town was rigidly segregated, it shows how Chicanos, blacks, whites and Indians shared a common history, and how they knew one another and dealt with one another in ways that were off the official map.

This film represents one of the most beautiful efforts among Hollywood movies - the best work yet by one of the most original and independent filmmakers - and after it is over, and one begin to think about it, its meanings begin to flower.  

There is much more in the movie than just the solution to the murder and the outcome of the romance. It is about how people try to live together at this moment in America. Some of the shots at first seem to have little to do with the story's main lines. Like for example, in the movie it is shown that a school board meeting is taking place, for example, at which parents argue about textbooks (Infact they are arguing about their personal views of Texas history). Then there is an African-American colonel (Joe Morton) who is in charge of the local Army base and whose father was Big Otis, owner of the bar. Interviews of army personnel involving a young black woman are shown. This woman, an Army private, is having interview with her commanding officer, which reveals a startling insight into why people enlist in the Army. Then there are conversations between Sheriff Deeds and old widows with long memories. All these scenes give the viewer a great chance to see a variety of people from various cultures.

If one starts to consider another movie, Garden of Eden, one sees that looking for a better destiny for their lives, a group of people arrives to Tijuana, in the Mexico-USA borderline.

Three characters are shown; a widow and her children, a woman whose identity is not confirmed, a writer enthralled with Mexico and her hermit brother, plus a mexican peasant who wants to cross the border are the main characters looking for "the garden of eden".

These are the examples of movies which are not commercial Hollywood style films, and if anyone looking for a lot of action, he will be disappointed. Garden of Eden is a thoughtful, intriguing character study and gives us a glimpse of what life is like for different kinds of people who end up at the U.S./Mexican border in the mid-1990s. Migration is a complex process.

It is not a one-way street, and just as there are Mexicans who want to go to "the other side," there are people from the U.S. who are attracted to Mexico and are looking for something there they can't find at home. It is not that all Mexicans living in Tijuana want to cross to the U.S. and conversely not all Mexicans who cross want to stay in the U.S. This film breaks down a lot of stereotypes about what the border is, and it makes it clear that we can't put people into neat little categories (Mullan, 1986) . People are motivated to do things for a lot of different reasons, and sometimes cultural and personal differences are so subtle that people offend or hurt each other without even realizing it. Nowadays people are more interested in violent, action packed films about corruption, greed and crime along the border, but this movie can be offered as a sharp contrast because it shows that things are not always as dramatic and wild as one imagines (Review of the movie, 2000) . Here, the border has a definite and unique character of its own, but it's no better and no worse than any other place. Sometimes people find what they're looking for, sometimes not, but there is a certain degree of hope in the film that keeps the characters moving forward and imagining a better kind of life for themselves and others (Perez Godoy, 1998) .

Conclusion: In short as opportunities for different necessities are changing all over the world, people are moving from one place to another in search of better future. This creates a mix of various cultures and slowly and gradually these changes are reflected in the film and literature of that area.
