Parenti goes on a hilarious tangent about Out Of Africa in his lecture "Images Of Imperialism: Media, Myths, and Reality"... it's somewhere towards the middle/end when he's talking about colonial movies set in Africa.
Here's a link to an unofficial Spotify rehosting of the audio that I listened to it on:
Yeah I also listened to this one and it made me think about my mom and her yearning for foreign lands and Roberth Redford, she loved this movie and was in her own mind a leftist (liberal). Then again they all loved Kennedy too, Dynasty and Dallas were their favourite drama shows and Tintin the go to comic. All Western entertainment is mostly empire upholding, personally am pretty ready to burn my Donald Duck comics from my childhood because I can't unsee it anymore.
The entertainment we consume is absolutely not innocent.
