Comments by "retnavybrat" (@retnavybrat) on "Top 10 War Propaganda Films" video.

  1. I don't see how Potemkin and Birth of a Nation ended up on this list. Propaganda they may be, but they weren't examples of war propaganda. Neither movie were pushing for or against any conflicts their nations were engaged in at the time (there were none as far as I can remember).

  2. +Cain Jenkins Part of the criteria WatchMojo used was that the film appeared in the first half of the 20th century. I don't think Rambo would qualify since it premiered in the mid 1980's, about 30-35 years after the mid-point of the 20th century.

  15. s3lfFish   Yes, you are correct in that the wars / conflicts you mentioned did occur within the 20th century.  However, the criteria for this list (according to the WatchMojo narrator) was that the film focus on a war / conflict that occurred in the first half of the 20th century.  Anything after World War II or Korea (and that's stretching it) wouldn't be eligible for this list.
