So Tress and I the other day decided to sit down and watch a movie together. I was open to the idea as we have not had a chance to do that for a while now. So of course we went through the \u201cwhat do you want to watch\u201d, \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d routine when we ran across my NetFlix movies. We decided to watch the Rocketeer.<\/p>\n
The premise of the movie is that a down on his luck pilot gets a chance to be a hero with a super secret item that the Nazi\u2019s are after. Anyway that is not what I really am posting this for, but rather the symbolism that was allowed then (1991) verses now.<\/p>\n
There are a number of pro-American scenes where the dialog is truly patriotic or the imagery reflects a patriotic stance. For instance, in one of the last scenes the \u201cRocketter\u201d is on top of an observatory ready to go after the\u00a0fleeing\u00a0Nazi\u2019s. The shot is so well put in front of an American Flag as if to signify, \u201cGO USA!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
I also noticed that the Nazi\u2019s were portrayed in the movie close to how they probably were. I could not help but think if anyone would try to be so bold to portray a group that was truly evil today, liberals would demand that the movie be censored and edified as to not offend those partial to those groups.<\/p>\n
Along with the other fact that Hollywood today would not dare promote a movie that would be pro-America as it might offend other nations that are not as blessed as we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
