From the documentary, "Hollywood & The War Machine", Michael Moore, on the reason people haven't gone to see films with an anti-war bent as of late:
"We know we're complicit in this.
We know that our tax dollars are going to fund the killing of civilians,
using predator drones now in Pakistan to kill innocent civilians.
And after working hard all week to go to the movie theater on a Friday night and be reminded that you are a part of the

Every year, Hollywood producers ask the Pentagon for help in making films, seeking everything from locations and technical advice to Blackhawk helicopters and nuclear-powered submarines. The military will happily oblige, it says in an army handbook, so long as the movie "aid[s] in the recruiting and retention of personnel."
The producers want to make money; the Defense Department wants to make propaganda. Former Hollywood Reporter staffer Robb explores the conflicts resulting from these negotiations in this illuminating though sometimes tedious study of the military-entertainment complex over the last 50 years. Robb shows how, in the Nicholas Cage film Windtalkers, the Marine Corps strong-armed producers into deleting a scene where a Marine pries gold teeth from a dead Japanese soldier (a historically accurate detail).
At its worst, the author argues, the Pentagon unscrupulously targets children; Robb reveals how the Defense Department helped insert military story lines into the Mickey Mouse Club. To help, Robb suggests a schedule of uniform fees by which producers could rent aircraft carriers, F-16s & the like. It's an intriguing idea, though producers can go it alone: as Robb points out, blockbusters Forrest Gump, An Officer & a Gentleman & Platoon were all made without military assistance.

military toys and videogames are another piece of the puzzle
It's not about liberal vs conservative, it's about freedom vs tyranny.
Transcript for the list of films at 06:27
These are just some of the handful of films that went through the Pentagon approval process.
This is Behind Enemy Lines - full cooperation
GI Jane - no cooperation
Full Metal Jacket which showed marines killing marines - no cooperation
Thirteen Days - no cooperation
Top Gun - great film for the navy, full cooperation
Platoon - no cooperation, the military hated that movie
Three Kings, of course, showing soldiers stealing gold from the Iraqis, no cooperation
Patton - of course, they loved this picture, full cooperation
Pearl Harbor - again, full cooperation
I only found out months back but Full Metal Jacket was actually a British film It could be ignorance on my part but from what I see British films don't tend to gloss over things they tell it how it is.
What about apocalypse now?
as an american and a veteran this makes me question alot of things.
YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS WERE DEVELOPED BY LIFE LONG PROPAGANDA. THEN THEY USE & ABUSE YOU.
Another great Oscar Wild quote is "patriotism is the virtue of the vicous".
For the ethical questions and the mutiny of "Crimson Tide", the us navy wouldn't accept to cooperate. They had to ask the french navy for advice...
HBO's the Pacific thankfully did not hide the fact that Marines stole gold teeth. In the Thin Red Line it's also shown (more suggested) when you see a marine holding pliers while he's taunting a wounded Japanese officer.
Pearl Harbour was ridiculous, purely pretentious militaristic pride, which is a shame considering the large budget and lavish set design/cinematography. Why can't we have more films in the same style as Tora Tora Tora or A Bridge too Far, where facts WEREN'T pushed aside for stupid love triangles!
Tyson L or at least add that Roosevelt knew 6 weeks before and let it happen, for whatever reasons, it's all speculation from there.
I knew a Marine that worked on the set of True Lies (moronically appropriate). I thought it was weird then, now I know why.
Watch Oliver Stone's The Untold History of The United States if you dont like propaganda. It's a great series.
I thought I was the only person to have seen that...everyone I mention it to say they haven't seen it.
Just 3 quick points. #1, *"The Land Of The Free & Home Of The Brave"* that was literally founded on the rotting corpses of the 70,000,000 Native Americans genocided out of the way has incomprehensible Reality issues. #2, Coppola's remastered and at last restored full-length *APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX* on DVD puts the theatrical release cut-down totally in the shade. #3, I'm 95% sure that's actor George Takei standing plenty close enough to John Wayne; the irony is monumental.
America is no worse than every other world power, get over it.
even without knowing about this until now i always suspected some movies. it's deeper than i thought. but oddly, i am naturally attracted to the movies that didn't get cooperation - platoon, full metal jacket, etc. glad not all in filmmaking are compromised. i wonder if Starship Troopers got cooperation?
Starship Troopers was almost entirely underwritten by NASA (jk)
Hollywood and especially Disney, have been the warm and fuzzy arm of the military/industrial/corporate complex since forever.
Bumcheek.I..know, I know lol

Obviously same with certain games. And I say that as a gamer...
+Daniel Tejnický ..greetings Daniel!A friend of mine is doing a research paper on the same...can u please suggest me some games that you've felt are portraying American supremacy?
+ashik js Pretty much any modern military shoother. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Metal of honor... And other probably.
google rand corparation and sony
Yep don't get me started on CoD MW2.
Although they do make that American General evil in the end.
You guys do realize that there are movies that talk about conspiracies and even mention how there is corruption in the government, but I guess that would mean giving into the man.
Less than 1% of Americans are in the army.
I'm so sick of the lies and manipulation.
Me too!
me three
There is NO WAY the recently released war (borderline anti-war) film "FURY" would have had US help!!!
***** True, also didn't always show them well trained... still a problem.
German women fighting... now that went against Nazi ideology!
***** Yeah.
If you want to see Marines pulling gold teeth out of Japanese corpses be sure to watch The Pacific. Thanks Tom Hanks, very cool.
Pearl Harbor was trying to create a love story with a historical event like they did with Titanic. But it flopped because they got the love story wrong.
Ben Affleck plays in quite a few.
Too late, so said Eisenhower...
Who's to say which ones are good and which ones are bad?
Date of upload?
no first blood or rambo? boo
+mousehead2000 Stallone himself said that he was Pro-military and made all of the Rambo movies with that in mind. I only liked First Blood but got it completely wrong, had always thought it was an anti Establishment movie, (the Army will use you and dump you, the police brutality etc), but Stallone said it was specifically about the "heroes" coming back from Vietnam and being treated, unfairly, like criminals and murderers by the American people.
I got to this vid from David Ickes book The Perception Deception.
Great book
Will check it out!
I wonder if the US monitors videos like this and those who watch them.
The public doesn't realize that the military uses war movies as recruiting tools? F*ing seriously? Great GHU. How totally lame.
12:00 Banned film "Let there be light"
27:00 Right There
Watch "Psywar- Full Documentary" on you tube. By far the most in depth documentary on this subject. Hats off to Scott Nobel for making this historically accurate low budget film.
Respect to you for questioning a lot of things.
roger... appology extended
War is definitely complicated mostly due to the death factor of course. I think you and I are on the same page. Obviously our military cannot overthrow every dictatorship. Perhaps I am nominally jingoistic but I sometimes fantasize about killing the rules of North Korea, which is one giant concentration camp.
Maybe in some ways and not in others, but it seems they go oftern.
a ceasefire in Korea means you aint looking to fight on .. can't say you won that one either , a just compromise exists ...
It's old ancient method creating the stars for the people to follow
There are also many movies about government conspiracies and coverups.
Prior to our men going to iraq I knew George w bush would bring us into another viet nam because of watching the show MASH. Luckily they had that show so that I wasn't brainwashed by these films
Good thing the ccp does not censor movies released in china
What ccp have to do with this. YOU IDIOT.
we shall have to retell our history at some point . we may even be a far more interesting species , if one hears our real journey ,, and now more tenacious than ever , but i do think we rate peace and sex way above prooving anything ,,
27:00 *** all military backed war movies tell you war is the answer. ***all military backed films are worse too. Just shitty movies.
manimals
he said Americans like war movies .... no manimals like war movies
Kids like the uniforms and have no idea about war (killing, die in, suffering, mangling, mental deficiencies, ect)
Well said! I'm bad at saying what I mean too say so don't take me too much too the word.
I ment that in part due too all of what they're saying in this, they're following it like sheep.
That's a great example, a great game though but it does have that nasety part.
Well said as well, I admit those protests can be crazy and oftern people who preach become the very thing they go on about.
& they complain about Trump's talk..??
its all about MONEY!!!!
Fuckin thank you sir.
I wanna throw up when people talk to me about these fake division
Good doc, but totally lacks the Zionist factor.
Cmon World, We can do better than 3000 views for shit like this!
Download this movie before JooTube removes it
I see four or five documentaries on TH-cam about the relationship between the United States Armed Forces and American cinema. We need to remember that everyone in the United States has freedom of expression, including filmmakers and the military. The pentagon has every right to control who they want (or don't want) to lend their equipment to. If a filmmaker is denied access to military equipment for their films I do not see how that is a problem. With CGI there is no real need for them.
really there is conspiracies for entertainment now, wow get a life people
TheBiddofslayer58 Conspiracies? These videos are created to inform the public, there's a financial trail, they don't even hide it it's a recognized department?
Martin Skevla umm no its pure bullshit.
***** actually the burden of proof is on the conspiracy theorists.
TheBiddofslayer58 Not a conspiracy. Just the military having an vested interest in a positive portrayal, and of course they will try to sway movie makers in this pursuit. It is just basic PR, not a conspiracy. Now, one can agree or disagree that it is something the military should do, but it really isn't a conspiracy theory.
Alexander Nielsen no the portrayal of the military in any film is purely the directors decision. there have been heaps of movies that make the military and war look bad. and i have yet to see them dissappear.
"Americans have never lost, or will never lose a war" Except Vietnam.
and the Confederate army. Patton should know since his great-grandfather was a Confederate colonel.
I was being sarcastic and I'm not American ;)
