True, but back in the early days it was subtle while in the 80’s they became full blown anti-American billboards. Movies like China Syndrome which were made to destroy industries and promote the agenda have destroyed any enjoyment they once were.


Absolutely correctomondo. Also, back in the glory days of Soviet Agitprop ala Hollywood there was a lot more wit in the films. Even the soft leftie stuff of the 1970s like Shampoo and Smile were genuinely funny.

Also, before the computerized special effects made it easy for filmmakers to wash over the idiotic plot-gaps in their conspiracy theories, it was vital that character development and dialogue (and acting) carry the argument.

A great example: Three Days of the Condor. A brilliant movie that follows from the idiotic notion that a CIA higher-up would wipe out an office full of colleagues in NYC and somehow almost get away with it—in the name of oil!
(And, gosh, this was BEFORE Haliburton.)

How can such a thing be so stupid and so brilliant all at once? Art and craft. And when you find a more compelling performance by an American actress than Faye Dunaway’s in Three Days of the Condor you’ll be the first person who ever did.

Not to mention algore’s Inconvenient lies, the parts that were absolutely fake were done with graphic design to frighten the people.

The polar bear’s ice melting under them, C02 being represented as ray guns and his “contraption” showing how hot it was going to get by 2020. All great indoctrination tools.
