Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how certain movies produced by Hollywood have influenced public opinion about U.S foreign policy. Specifically, the author looks at how three specific films have manufactured public support for U.S. military incursions: "Green Beret" (1968) about Vietnam, "Black Hawk Down" (2001) about Somalia and "Pearl Harbor" (2001) about World War II.From the Paper:
"The directness of the relationship is proportional to money the military establishment will outlay for a film, as well as personnel and hardware support. This arrangement does not always work out: several Vietnam movies were refused by the military establishment, including Apocalypse Now, yet were still commercially successful films. The timing and content of military propaganda films is important for achieving success. Foreign policy, defense objectives, and the domestic public mood must be correctly read. This needs close communication between Hollywood and the military establishment."More papers on Hollywood and the Military:
