Do movies help to premote war>?
"You'll pretend you were men istead of babies, and you'll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-lovoing, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs" (Slaughter-House-Five, p. 14).
i would have to say that i both agree and disagree with the quote from Slaughter- House- Five that movies help to promote war. some movies do and some movies don't . It just depends on the opinion of whoever is making the movie. i would consider the movie Pearl Harbor and an anti war movie. It showed how horrifying war is and how devestating it can be. Antother movie that would be concidered an anti-war movie is Full Metal Jacket. This movie showed the negative metal effects war can have on people. The one main character in this movie shoots himself while in the service. There are many other anti and pro war movies out there.
