amazed at what people could be led to do and believe.
Madison Ave. is not people with morons. If you're told McDonald's is cool for long enough, you'll believe it.
(I'll omit political ramifications which could lead to squabbling).
Most people are sheep, easily swayed into thinking this or that.
Advertising works. Hollywood has figured out a way to make more money, true. "We," I suppose, could boycott films (especially the mindless serial crap, like Star Wars, Star Trek has become) and cause a revolution. I'm not holding my breath.

We are seeing it big time now in our country's politics.
Regarding movies, the older stuff 70's and pre was better than the later IMO--except for foreign flics. Has anyone topped the American screen plays of the thirties and forties? They are literate, and witty! How fucking unusual in today's milieu.
I can relate to what you wrote. I did a paper in college about Hitler's PR techniques and how he "lifted" them from American advertising practices. The mass of people are easily deceived is the bottom line.
America's contribution? Hah!
