Abstract

Cinema is part of the soft power or national brand, projecting images and imaginaries about a country, its living style, values, and people. A brief review of American films supported by American government brings us a clear view of one of the most successful and influential propaganda forces of the modern history in the world. This consideration helps us understand why the United States is one of the most desirable international destinations.
