On the latest FFR, we play volleyball with Maverick, Iceman, Goose & the rest of the boys from Top Gun! Is it military propaganda presenting a carefully calculated image of masculinity? Is it a film dripping with queer subtext? Can it be both? Listen now! https://feministfrequency.com/video/ffr-47-top-gun/ …pic.twitter.com/3XRFIykqkJ
Dude. What? Nothing you're saying makes any sense. Just because the production paid the navy doesn't mean the film wasn't propaganda, or that the military wasn't significantly involved in its creation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/25-years-later-remembering-how-top-gun-changed-americas-feelings-about-war/2011/08/15/gIQAU6qJgJ_story.html?utm_term=.2c62f436d001 …

And just because they used the actual machines it doesn't mean it is. Or that the navy had the opportunity to make corrections on the script. Authenticity doesn't mean that your production is now doing something else. The impact a movie has can be different than its intent.

There were navy recruitment stations outside of screenings. Getting people to enlist was very much their intent.
