I agree with Bernay's statement that American Motion Pictures are carriers of propoganda. I believe this statement is very true because the movie industry holds very high power with the size of audience it captures. Going to the movies is an ordinary source of entertainment for many people. Those people who attend the movies are exposed to not just the flick, but all the junk intertwined within. There are so many messages hidden in movies today that persuade the audience.
If there is high demand for a movie coming out, you can bet upon major corporations paying for advertisement spots during the previews. This is a very wide media outlet. If the market is high for a particular trend, millions of people will be exposed. They will see this propoganda and more than likely be affected by it, too. I definitely think all motion pictures our outlets for propoganda. And because they are rated and only so many people review and edit them before being displayed, there is a lot of room for propagandists to work with.
