Loved the movie!!! Hated the propaganda. Found this article interesting. Sadly we saw it in Newport Beach where no booing was heard. Happily we missed most of it. Disgusting.A liberal Portland activist who says his leisurely outing to the movies Sunday took an Orwellian turn when a new “Department of War” video promoting President Donald Trump’s hyper-macho foreign policy interrupted the trailers is fighting back against what he called the government’s “propaganda” — and drawing support on social media.
The Rev. Chuck Currie shared his experience on Facebook, Instagram and Threads after going to Portland’s Regal Lloyd Center to watch Steven Spielberg’s summer blockbuster “Disclosure Day.” That’s when a 90-second advertisement for Trump’s “Department of War” flashed onto the movie screen, prompting loud boos from the Portland audience, Currie said.
The video, which debuted Sunday during Trump’s UFC fights at the White House, touts the U.S.’s military prowess and “warrior ethos.” It features images of military action playing over clips of Trump’s speeches accompanied by cinematic music.
Oddly, Disclosure Day opens on a UFC fight!!
