Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9852304" data-attributes="member: 18">Sadly Homeland definitely falls into the "basically propaganda" category despite its controlled cynicism re: the US government and CIA, because its portrayals of other people and places are horrifically racist and reflect propagandistic narratives of that era. The easiest example being its portrayal of Hamra Street in Beirut:[ATTACH=full]428916[/ATTACH]It's not one example or angle either.I am personally done with anything about the FBI or CIA for similar reasons.Like, if this was London, imagine if we did the same thing, we'd basically get:TV series version*:[ATTACH=full]428918[/ATTACH]vs.Real version:[ATTACH=full]428919[/ATTACH]* = Actually from Children of Men, using it as an example.(You would of course, as Children of Men does, use a green filter and desaturation to make Britain look horrible, just like Homeland used the racist yellow filter and desaturation to make wherever it shot - Turkey I think - look rubbish.)</blockquote>
