Entertainment is as propagandist as politics; artists are politicians . Recall that the outrageously racist movie "Birth of A Nation" was shown in the White House in 1915 to President Woodrow Wilson. He is reputed to have exclaimed in adoration that it was like lightening!
Look at the proliferation of police and/or SWAT television programs or movies. Their legal irregularities are astounding and anesthetizing. They deaden public expectations of propriety, while preparing them for manipulation by media, sellers, prosecutors, politicians, or worse: convictions or acquittals based on race, class, religion or other status.
Therefore when viewing movies and television be sensitive to, be aware of, the propaganda purpose behind their financing, production, and distribution; be cognizant of the fact that your money, time, are the means to effect your behavioral modification by malevolent design .
