I am going to post a link to this movie at the end of my post, but first I would like to make a few observations. Without question, CIA should be destroyed. They went off the range pretty much from the beginning.
However, I am old enough to remember when television was fun, and actually educational. I learned the Preamble to the Constitution thanks to "Schoolhouse Rock" on ABC. I see nothing wrong with Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny, nor with Wiley Coyote chasing the Road Runner. And I see nothing wrong with airing patriotic films in a time of war. Do we really need to feed the "Baby Killer" mantra? That crowd seems to come up with that bullshit all on their own. I think encouraging the public in a time of hardship is helpful.
I also remember a time when no one on television was divorced, sex was not even alluded to, respectful children were the rule rather than the exception, homosexuality was never even considered, abortion was not mentioned, and (as is the case with "South Park") the epithet beginning with the letter "f" was not bleeped in favor of PERMITTING the epithet "G-- d--- i--" at least twenty times per episode (and being used by fictional FOURTH GRADERS, for crying out loud!)
But again, it has gone too far. The Coronavirus is a classic example. We cannot go more than ten minutes without at least two commercials telling us how wonderful it is to be in prison and how great it is that companies want to help "keep you safe". BULLSHIT! PURE PROPAGANDA!
We all know violent music that debases women and glorifies racism, hatred, murder, and drugs has destroyed the younger generation. Add to that movies where blood is splattered all over the screen for two-to-three-hours, and addictive video games that teach people to kill others in order to "score", and it is little wonder the country has turned into what it is now.
One of the most shocking parts of this film is something Mika Brzezinski says on the MSNBC clip about halfway into the video. It is shocking because I do not watch that network so this is the first time I have heard it. It is NOT shocking if you recall who her father was.
So, here is "Out of Shadows". Let us try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. While probably 75% of television these days is negative propaganda, not all propaganda is necessarily negative. It can be positive, as in the case of short films people saw during World War II. I hope everyone will watch this movie carefully, and with a critical eye both to CIA and the rare-but-still-in-existence GOOD that SOME entertainment provides.
