You were talking to a Ford guy.
There were people in tears when the Camaro was announced. For many it was a punch in the guy to hear it would be discontinued. The movie simply made people who were already waiting on a Camaro cringe with anxiety and excitement just wanting one in there driveway.
Of course, when old bee turned into new be, many people (myself included) got cold chills. It's the greatest scene ever in a movie. I am sure it instantly made some people fall in love with the Camaro. BUT, no, the movie is not the reason the 5th gen is so successful. It may have pulled in a few new lovers....but the love and anticipation for the relaunch was already there for the die hards.
