Talk:Propaganda film
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Could the broadcasts seen on Cardassia Prime in "Tribunal" etc be included here as well? -- Ben Sisko 18:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well they weren't "films", in the true sense; they were more like "announcements". --Alan del Beccio 23:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't seen the episode in ages but here's an excerpt from the script:
- "In the shot we can see a large outdoor screen or two... with constant messages bombarding the populace... on the screen now, is a Cardassian man speaking... we're too far away to discern any words... but we can see his image dissolve to a Cardassian symbol... and a word in Cardassian language that should look very alien - the word means "children"... and then a picture of several Cardassian children is on the screen... and this word is superimposed several times over the picture... and is replaced by a stirring shot of Cardassian ships in space... and the Cardassian symbol superimposed over the space shot... replaced again by the anchorman who continues his stern lecture..."
- What do you think? Sounds like a propaganda film to me... -- Ben Sisko 23:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well that much would have to be confirmed, becuase scripts are not 100% accurate (or even 75% accurate, at times). Nazi propaganda film & Cardassian propaganda film (and for that matter) Dominion propaganda film/speech that Weyoun gave in "The Dogs of War". --Alan del Beccio 00:01, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
