Films and songs as a tool of propaganda The 1st part. One of the most philosophically fascinating uses of cinema is as a vehicle for propaganda. Granted, all mass media—books, television, music, newspaper, radio, the Internet—can be used for propaganda, that is, as tools for getting a message broadly accepted in a target audience. Films are effective propaganda tools because they establish visual icons of historical reality and consciousness and bring attention to an unknown cause. Nowadays we have a huge list of crime films in filmography. Often there may be considerable overlap particularly between Crime and other genres (including, action, thriller, and drama films). Today there are genres like crime thriller, prison film, ganster film, crime comedy and crime drama in cinema world. All these films affect children the most, because children are impressionable nature. The criminal propaganda often pronounced in these films. For example, the film Pulp Fiction. This movie is woven from small episodes from the life of gangsters Vincent Vega and Jules Winfield. He is full of random and intentional murders, drug sales and salvation from an overdose of cocaine, racketeering and robbery prevention. All these stories are woven into a single action by skillful director Quentin Tarantino. I do not like movies that are associated with crime, but I saw such as Outrage, Twelve, Contraband, Passion, The Bling Ring, Prisoners. The latest crime film I have watched is “The Wolf of Wall Street”. This film is destined to become a cult movie for people who won’t take it as any kind of cautionary lesson, but rather as an adolescent sex/drugs/rocknroll lifestyle lifestyle fantasy they’ll want to imitate and aspire toward. You could argue that gangster movies glamorize that kind of crime, too. But at least they show that the consequences (death or prison) are serious. “Wolf” suggests the consequences of ruining people’s lives via finance-world skullduggery is usually just a slap on the wrist. I understand that these films, maybe, are really masterpieces of cinematography for many people, but these films are a part of criminal subculture.
