WW2 Propaganda Nonsense
20 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Like all these ww2 propaganda films it was rubbish. Full of overblown heroics and racist name calling. I see lots of reviews saying movies like this were a product of their time. Well so were the propaganda movies the Nazis and the Japanese were putting out but I don't see anyone say what good films they were. Propaganda isn't just to bolster moral it's also supposed to engender hatred and demonize the enemy. It's OK to kill them because they are hateful and inhuman. Their soldiers don't have loved ones like ours they're just meat bags who deserve to die. We have wars today but nobody in their right mind would try to portray them as movies like this one and others of it's ilk does. People are far too sophisticated to buy this "war is glorious" rubbish. If it proves anything it's that people back then must have been pretty gullible to buy such nonsense as the true face of war.
