This study adopts Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman’s Propaganda Model (PM, 1988) as its theoretical foundation to examine how Hollywood’s film industry, situated at the intersection of military institutions and global capital, constitutes a system of image governance. The research first reviews the five filters of the PM and incorporates recent scholarly revisions and extensions of the model. Building on Matthew Alford’s Hollywood Propaganda Model and Screen Entertainment Propaganda Model, this paper analyzes the institutional collaboration, narrative representation, and ideological operations between the U.S. Department of Defense and Hollywood, revealing how the military–industrial–entertainment complex reproduces the ideology of national security through visual production. Furthermore, by engaging with the analytical framework of National Security Cinema, this study argues that Hollywood’s visual system has evolved into a cultural infrastructure of the U.S. national security state. The PM, therefore, can be reconceptualized as a theoretical foundation for analyzing global image governance, responding to the new ecology of the global film industry in the twenty-first century. |
