Talk:Wildcats (film)

propaganda was semi-hidden in this movie to affect people's minds
At just after 49 minutes into the movie, the main character (Goldie Hawn) enters a bar seeking last year's missing star quarterback to enlist. On the wall to the right of the door as she enters are police propaganda stickers (which immediately seem out of place, because directors are purposeful about what shows in a shot, and instinct told me right away that such propaganda would NOT actually manage to stay posted in such a bar in reality (it was supposed to be a rough gangster kind of hangout)). - The 2nd poster down was a "McGruff The Crime Dog" sticker, and in the middle of it, very clearly, a police-light blue light appears for long enough to not be able to call it 'subliminal' propaganda, but hey, come on. I mean, I understand "product placement" and maybe the movie company was payed to slip this stuff in, but..well at this point I'll stop before I indicate what I think of this kind of propaganda being hidden in our media to brainwash people (but hey, that's what it was.)

POINT: someone who knows how to edit better than I should add a section and note this happened. Thank you.

SECOND POINT: It might be of interest to Goldie Hawn fans (specifically male boomers who saw her walking about in her panties for 20 minutes, in her 60's movie 'Butterflies Are Free') that in this movie we see her nude finally. I'm not going to add an edit to point this out myself, because I don't trust I yet have enough experience editing to present such a note in an expository style that doesn't just sound like Beavis ruminating about what he saw. But it is a legitimate part of documenting movies to note which of hers she appears nude in. And I am sure it was a big deal to us at the time, to see her beauty exposed; we appreciated it as the adults we had become by the 80's.

AND THIRD POINT: The critics didn't like this, but we did! (isn't that often the case?)
