Oh okay up until now I’ve just thought Pacific Rim was an okay movie but after hearing Del Toro refused any Pentagon funding for it I’ve changed my mind what a great film
Why would the Pentagon fund a movie?
Literally most summer blockbusters are straight-up financed by the Pentagon. The Pentagon provides funding for movies but in exchange they demand to be allowed to make any edits they want to the script to ensure the U.S. military is depicted in a positive light and the movie can be used as tools for miltiary recruitment. It’s called the Military Entertainment Complex (and it also involves the Pentagon funding videogames and music videos)
Basically, if a movie made in the U.S. contains ANY depction of the U.S. military, you can be 99% sure that it’s at least partially a propagada piece commissioned by the Pentagon.
Yes dude!!! I did my senior thesis on this!!
The pentagon 100% pays Producers in privileges to make them look good or otherwise not bad in movies!!!
The Transformers franchise, Where Bay has been leased ton of vehicles and let on to multiple bases.
most of the Marvel franchise, like in Ironman and Cap America especially
Disney cartoons (like that one were Donald had a dream about being a nazi),
Lots of the “older” Bond movies, all edited or payed for/etc by the Pentagon!
Can I… read this thesis?
