In 1969, I changed majors for a year from Theatre to Film. In order for a film to impact its audience, it must be able to get them to "suspend disbelief." In order to facilitate this process, films target audiences based on demographics. Members of the target audience are more likely than not to quickly develop an affinity with the central character and buy int the central theme. The reactions of others might vary from "bored to tears" by, to "outraged by the absurdity" of the film.
I don't really need to watch the propaganda film "2000 Mules." The theme is familiar. In 1960 a conspiracy theory that had Joe Kennedy paying for the absentee ballots of dead people to swing the state of Illinois into his son's column, was promoted by Nixon ally Roger Stone. My agnosticism over the issues involved are summarized in this quote from an analysis of the film's allegations by Reuters News Service:
“1) You need a falsified ballot with a unique bar code, printed on special paper, and a special envelope. If the claim is that you’ve somehow obtained 400,000 original ballots without the elections officials or voters knowing, how precisely did you do this?
“2) You need to successfully forge the voter’s signature. 3) You need to deposit the envelope and have it validated by a local official.
“Congratulations! Besides committing a felony, you have now cast ONE fraudulent ballot. Now you need to figure out how to do that hundreds of thousands of times, in different jurisdictions, with different ballot styles and different voting materials."
