      Top Gun was produced with the enthusiastic participation of the US Navy. It might be the single most effective recruitment tool in the history of the Navy. Of course the film is pro-military propaganda, and extremely effective propaganda at that.

      What do you think propaganda means? Cause I said that these character are acting like idiots. That in real life they would've been kicked out for the way they act. They showed pilots being idiots.

      Hahaha that doesn't magically make it not propaganda. In fact, that's part of why it works so effectively as propaganda. The film presents a version of manhood that would appeal to the young male viewers at the time and make them more likely to enlist!

      If this is propaganda then everything is propaganda because there is always a percentage of people moved by something they see. Star Trek was science propaganda, then. And if everything is propaganda then what's the issue?

      Oh my god. It was made with the participation of the navy! It was DESIGNED in part to work as a recruitment tool. If Top Gun is not propaganda, then nothing is.

      The production paid to use the machines and? Your article counters the idea that this was designed that way, did you read it? Pretty sure there can be military movies that are not propaganda. This one was one of them. Its a cartoonish love story, the flying was just the setting

      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.

          You are confusing a result for intent. The movie was popular, of course some used that opportunity. A video game was made about the movie. Again, is Star Trek science propaganda because it inspired some into science?
