Film Guidelines

After our group discussion being cut short today, I figured I would write about what I would have spoke about. 1) I definately felt that forms of popular culture, such as film could definatley be used to either boost morale or spread political propaganda. My group and I discussed about how back then they didn't have TV's and that radio/films were the major way of advertising and getting the word out about war, etc. Films definately were used to form ideas about the way people thought. 2) my reaction to these guidelines was that they were crazy! I was not surprised that these were the guidelines, but I did not necessarily agree with the guidelines. The guidelines were all in support of the war and making sure the films helped people support the war. Nowadays we felt that most people are anti-war, but back then films were promoting the war, and this was not really a good thing, in my opinion. :)
