Comrade George Lucas once said something to the effect of: "I talked to a lot of Soviet filmmakers and they told me about all the artistic freedom they had. See, they couldn't criticize the government too directly, but besides that it was wide open. In America, what I was functionally allowed to make was strictly limited by commercial viability."
Besides, it's not like you need military approval to get the technology necessary to put US soldiers into the movies. There's PLENTY of mainstream US movies that are critical in ways that the CIA doesn't have to vet 🤨 right?

Now with social media and the nu-media / gig economy we can have the worst of both worlds!
