The results of this study become recommendations for teachers so that students have the ability to process information so that history learning is more meaningful. This shows that the application of film media to increase students' History Awareness is one way that can be used in learning history at school. Historical films are used as teaching media to really help history teachers to attract students' interest. The teacher uses historical films as the first step in starting new material so that students have an overview of the material to be discussed. The use of historical films for students is considered much more enjoyable because the film has a storyline and makes it easier for students to understand the chronology of an event.
