Long time no see! Well, finding content was difficult, but here's something to take into perspective.
The timing of the film I will mention is absolutely uncanny. It emphasizes my belief of how the US government loves to use Hollywood as a brainwash army recruitment agency. Now bear in mind that I have yet to watch this film, but seeing the trailer has made me want to write about it already. It seems the United States really is getting ready for a war with Iran.
If you've read my previous blogs concerning some films out there, you'll notice how I mention military propaganda in Hollywood movies; sometimes specific to contemporary issues. I believe that Hollywood uses military scenes (sometimes useless for the plot) in order to brainwash the youth into regarding the military highly and therefore make it a favorable move to join it. If we look at all the Marvel movies so far we can see the military involved in all of them. Even the past few Transformer movies have not been left alone. Mohammed Ali's draft evasion and public refusal signaled the path to ending conscription and army drafting. The United States needed a new way to keep people joining the army. This movie, 'Battleship', seems to do the same thing, except here it focuses mostly on the US navy.
Now probably the one thing that the US army flaunts is its marine corps, and then the air force. The navy very rarely get a focus in films. How likely is it, knowing the ideas I brought up above, that the United States is looking to recruit more people for the navy knowing it will need a large human capital to face the Iranian Navy that would allegedly block the Strait of Hormuz? "The Battle for Earth begins at sea" really? Make a whole movie about the US Navy fighting an Alien race? Aliens couldn't think of a better way to invade earth?
Let me know what you think!
