Battle Los Angeles

After a century of demonising first Martians, then Nazis (who were airlifted into the U.S. with project Paperclip after the war), followed by Communists it seems Hollywood  is back to demonizing non terrestrials with Spielberg's War of the Worlds and Harrison Ford's Cowboys and Aliens with Battle for L.A. which puts forward the idea that it's the corporations that need saving given that nobody trusts the military or the nation state. Give me space invaders any day.

This is a little stroke of genius in the ongoing war of ideas that says gun imagery is lauded while peace and flowers are trivialised. That selling sex in advertising is OK but prostitutes are frowned upon. That excessive materialism is aspirational but ubiquitous poverty is pushed to the margins. That advertising is culturally representative yet failing schools are unimportant.
