patriotic propaganda

Take a look at the main theme movies made in the United States. The plots are compact and the plots are humorous. They shape a rescue operation full of wisdom and romance. Relying on Hollywood, Oscar's influence has successfully done a "crisis public relations" for the national image of the United States. For the American people, this is another image reshaping of the intelligence agencies after "Homeland Security".
As a story that is supposed to consist of both the trapped and the rescuer, the film clearly focuses on rescue. The idea of ​​concocting a lie as a cover-up through Hollywood and the media is obviously far more worthy of attention than the generally conceivable nervousness of the trapped people. Even at the time, Mendez's plan was deviant and absurd. Feasibility and absurdity coexist, injecting a lighthearted tone into what can be a heavy narrative.
