The word "propaganda" implies government involvement and direction with the writing and production, and not just with technical details like what rifle or uniform is correct for the time period being portrayed but rather controlling the storyline itself to generate a particular impression on the countries involved. This does not happen in BoB. The government did not tell Ambrose what to write or Spielberg what to film.

So what you're saying is that it's 'mild' propaganda? They do have an agenda, the producers and financiers of present day Hollywood movies, just follow the money and you may find it.
