Destination Earth

The overt message of this film was to show how much that oil and competition between companies has helped America. They come right off spitting out fact about all of the jobs that depend on the oil business, and also the importance of petroleum related products to the american people like cars, cosmetics, and plastics. The covert message of this Film was to show that without a free market and competition people were unhappy and the world was a very negative place, the makers of the film want citizens to remember that capitalism offers the spice of life. Before the Martians are introduced to the oil and knowledge of competition of america, they are all very sad, depleted, uniform looking people who are ruled by a mustachioed autocrat named the Ob. this is clearly meant to have parallels to the Soviet state in Russia, where uniformity and the lack of personal possessions and ambitions are out of the question.I would say this video was propaganda because it was a video made by an  oil company about how great oil is also the subtle attack on the construct of communism planted the seed for a more widespread love of capitalism.
