Like if Carol were in fact a man and this were a story of "One man who turns his back on the band of brothers he devoted his life to to follow his conscience" would we feel the need to say "Okay but there's still a ton of positive military tropes here, it's not fully anti-war!"?

And in fact the most simplistic view of advertising that's the most supported by evidence -- simply hearing something or seeing something over and over again must have a positive effect, at least compared to not knowing it exists at all -- makes this debate most pointless

Since viewing advertising through that lens is the strongest version of Truffaut's Maxim -- showing that the military exists at all in a movie, even in the most didactic possible movie where the narrator tells you they're all baby-killing bastards, is "pro-military"

Yup I do love it, actually, and I greatly dislike movie reviews of the form "By portraying this thing you have increased the societal prevalence of this thing and harmed society"

Of course advertising works. $335b got spent on advertising in 2019. You don't spend that amount of money on something that isn't effective.
