"WORLD WAR Z" - a Propaganda Breather?

Reader Jeff Goines saw “World War Z” to analyze the propaganda but, in the end, “couldn’t find anything to complain about.”

Maybe the propaganda was more subtle: “In the film, the UN and Israel are the
only functioning governments with intact military.   The US role is
dismissed in one line, “The President is dead.”  The military hardware
looks American, but except for the IDF in Israel, everybody’s wearing UN
blue camouflage fatigues.”

I have been reluctant to go to a movie again to pay for brainwashing, but weighing pros and cons decided to see if the new mind control technology lives up to the reputation.   (The good news was finding that the early 3D showing was only $7.50)

The film also failed to alienate me from my fellow man.  When I was leaving the theater, people still looked normal to me.  If the movie had done it’s Hollywood magic, strangers would look like zombies – at least for a couple hours.   I experienced no ‘transference’ of perception of real strangers as zombies.

Maybe I missed the intent.  In the film, the UN and Israel are the only functioning governments with intact military.   The US role is dismissed in one line, “The President is dead.”  The military hardware looks American, but except for the IDF in Israel, everybody’s wearing UN blue camouflage fatigues.

PROPAGANDA DUD 

I found the propaganda minimal.  The action is moving too fast, the scene too chaotic, for heavy handed political preaching.  Overall. the Israelis are presented not as more intelligent than the other countries, they’re just quicker to take drastic action before anybody else. 

Not fast enough in this movie, though.  Despite their early response, Jerusalem is overrun with the zombie horde.  But I saw no attempt at all at a metaphor for Arab zombies.   The zombies are too numerous and move too fast to make any impression of their politics or ethnicity.  They’re just your generic mob. 

Valiant IDF soldiers are shown fighting heroically as the zombies plow them under like Zulu Dawn.   But there’s not a single frame of zombies dressed like stereotypical suicide bombers or Hezbolah.   It wouldn’t have worked if they had — it would be too cheesy.  Thank God Stephen Spielberg didn’t direct it!

There’s no Messianic age message – Israel doesn’t save the world in the move.

I’ve read reviews that the movie was fraught with problems and tons of scenes ended up on the cutting floor.   Some reviewers observed that the movie reads like those overly ambitious movies with preachy scenes that didn’t work and had to be cut.  I’d have to read Max Brooks novel Oral History of the Zombie War to know what was cut.  Brooks and reviewers say very little of the book made into WWZ.

Makow comment-  Maybe the propaganda/brainwashing consists in the plethora of movie fantasies which have little to do with social or political reality. The masses are presented a fantasy world while in the real world, the Illuminati are impoverishing and despoiling the planet while consolidating their police state.
