Superhobo's (badly timed) thoughts on propaganda in film (with boobies)

[Superhobo]

That gotcha.



Something I've always wondered about is the double standard regarding propaganda in the cinema. A good example of this is the film "Casablanca," which, while a classic movie, is defined as propaganda, if we go by the meaning of the word I list below. But then, so is almost every other film out there. Films that tell us important messages about 'being yourself,' films like 'Children of Men,' films like 'Brazil', these can all be technically defined as "propaganda."
We examine the word. Propaganda is simply ideas that are propagated, or ideas that the maker of the "propa-ganda" would like to persuade you to . There is a weird double-standard in Hollyweird where only the bad kind of propaganda, the one most usually recognized, the one that seeks to influence someone's decisions through deception and deceit instead of persuasion and understanding, is the only one recognized as propaganda at all.

Weird.

I can fly. And shoot lazers from my crotch. Also, the superlatively powerful stench of cheap liquor will overpower any foe.
