For another example of movies derogating the Public Relation Industry , you must watch Wag the Dog . There is a scene where The Hollywood producer helping the White House advisor “create” a war exclaims, "It’s 100% fake but it looks 100% real." After listening to this I would kind of or completely believe that Public Relations is all about lies and cover ups.
Watch Robert De Niro convince the producer to digitally develop a war scene - here. And , once he has talked him into doing it , you can see how manipulatively the war scene is done up - here.
Following is a dialogue conversation from Wag the Dog !Get the President re-elected, covering up secret meetings, advising the press
”Tell them he is sick in China"
Getting press officer to address the press, "There is no B3 Bomber…get you
office to deny it"
"Change the story, change the lead"
"Distract the media for two weeks until the election. Fake a war with Albania,
they seem shifty stand-off-ish, know one knows anything about them"
"There is no B3 Bomber Sweetie"
"Is it true?"
"Who can Say"
"People remember Slogans, not the war, its show biz"
Produce a "pageant" theme song, visuals, content analysis of paper.
"All Papers are in remission, no mention of the fire fly girl"
Throwing shoes in trees "Good Old Shoe" theme song too -make sound old
and crackly Courage Mom slogan” The spin of events, not the events
themselves"
I think its needless to mention , the kind of impression it sends across !
