Can't watch the video at the moment, so here's a fun tidbit about everyone's favorite propaganda piece, Top Gun: 94,878 people enlisted in the Navy in fiscal year 1985/86 compared to 87,593 the previous year (~8.3%). Enlistment then fell 2.1% the next year[0]. The Navy's general advertising budget nearly doubled in this time, so it's hard to attribute it to the movie, but I can't help but think it had some effect. It certainly made me think flying fighter jets was the coolest thing ever when I was a kid.

This is why I thoroughly enjoyed the Wonder Man TV show reboot, watching the entire show in one sitting.

They played within the constraints they had but also managed to also make similar points.

Maybe yours. But yes, a lot of US movies are propaganda. That's why most of them are mediocre, to say the least.
