Circus
The Movie today i found to be be very un-propagandic until the very end of the film. It basically just follows around this lady named Marion Dixon who has to deal with having a black child in the 1930's and in the beginning of the film it shows her fleeing America because at the time that was not accepted in the U.S. . The film at the end of the movie then shows her child being revealed to the Russian people and Marian gets very upset thinking she will have to leave. Then all of the people embrace the baby and pass it around to show that Russian people do not discriminate people. The film basically just takes a couple shots at America and then claims itself to be the Greatest Country in the world. I found it very ironic when Marion says at the end of the film "I've never been to a place where i felt so free" i almost laughed out loud when i heard this because in Russia during the 1930's the people had almost no freedoms. All in all this movie was pretty boring and the propaganda in it was a far stretch from the truth.

I agree man, I didn't find it propagandic until the march at the end. I also laughed out loud a little bit when she said that.
