According to MSNBC editor, Zeeshan Aleem, “Top Gun: Maverick” is a slick but very sick movie promoting insidious propaganda.
While Aleem seemingly enjoyed the flight scenes, it was all the rest that was so problematic because of the overt and covert propaganda in the film. I mean, how DARE we enjoy a movie that highlights and yes celebrates both our military and the ethos within??!!

But “Top Gun” is as insidious as it is entertaining. It does not merely revive a forgotten human-centered spectacle; it also beckons for a return to accepting the American war machine as a beacon of virtue and excitement. It’s a poisonous kind of nostalgia, one that smuggles love of endless war into a celebration of live action.
