Propaganda in movies thread.

I wanted to create a thread which addressed propaganda in movies but I wasnt sure if it made more sense to make a new thread for every individual film or to simply update one thread.

Well, I'm going with a single thread.

Have you seen a movie lately and noticed a lot of propaganda? Come here and tell us about it.

Lets see how this goes. I'll start.

I wanted to first mention a couple of general trends.


First, that Hollywood now loves the idea of encouraging or promoting "first world problems".


EVERYTHING is a major issue.

Is it Hollywood's goal to perpetuate or encourage/instill this idea that we're a bunch of weak, frail, emotional losers who cant deal with the smallest of life's problems?


Secondly, that getting cancer is very sad but a "normal" part of life in America.


That we should get accustomed to the fact that most of us will get and probably die from cancer.

Of-course what they dont address is WHY cancer rates are skyrocketing, whether its the food, GMOs, BPAs, vaccines, air, water, fluoride etc.

I know... it's insane.

I'm hoping the world implodes soon...

Look at all the pandering to China in movies today.

Haha.

Any themes or movies come to mind?

I was watching Hell or High Water last night and the mom had been sick for some time. I cant recall if they said she had cancer but it seemed like that was the implication.

Interesting. Hadnt really noticed that but will probably be more likely to pick up on it now.

The Robocop remake was the most hardcore Neocon vision of DARPA ever made by Hollyweird (not to mention being one of the biggest remake insults to the original ever).
