Guidelines

I found that reading the motion picture guidelines put forth by the Office of War Information was interesting. In the movie Inglorious Basterds, one of the significant characters is the director of propaganda for the Nazis, and I think shedding light on the propaganda being put forth by the Americans is necessary. It seems like throughout world war II as well as during the cold war era, the government was involved in the business of promoting its interests. Whether those interest be promoted with film guidelines, or by investigations into Hollywood by HUAC. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this post but, I like that we as Americans can look back on our past and realize just how far this country was willing to go to protect its interests.
