USA propaganda is well-known in Western countries. Every war movie, comedy drama, family sitcom, serial and even cartoon is ambassador to USA way of life.
We cried for American soldiers giving their life for world freedom, like Ryan’s friends. Who didn’t share the same feelings of the many losers who fought and won, like Rocky? What about USA baby-sitters, cops, farmers, drivers, journalists, porn-stars who showed us the wonderful American dream? Not to mention the army of doctors, nurses, cosmonauts, dancers, oil drillers, bartenders, librarians and comic superheroes fighting for the good against the evil … and always succeeding in it!
We are so used to such propaganda that we do not consider it propaganda any more: this is the lifestyle we (almost) all dream of, oh yeah!
Probably USSR lost the Cold War because Russian Hollywood productions were not as popular. What would have happened to Western Europeans if they could give a look to USSR propaganda, of course pro Soviet lifestyle?
What about this “White sun of the desert” (English subs), where a single Red Army soldier fights for the freedom of Muslim women “in name of the working class“? Or what about “An office romance” (English subs), grounder of many office sitcoms still popular nowadays ? Or “Winnie Pooh“, the Russian version? And all the war movies USSR produced to glorify the 20 millions Russians, women included, who died in the second world war against Nazis?
