Randeep Hooda Criticizes America’s Propaganda Filmmaking, Citing ‘Oppenheimer’ Example

Actor Randeep Hooda recently voiced his critique of America’s propaganda filmmaking, using the example of the film ‘Oppenheimer’ to illustrate his point. Hooda highlighted the portrayal of America as always being depicted as the “good guys” in such films.

Speaking about ‘Oppenheimer,’ Hooda emphasized the urgent requirement for a balanced perspective in filmmaking, questioning the one-sided portrayal of America’s role in historical events. He expressed concerns about the impact of such propaganda on shaping public perceptions and narratives.

Randeep Hooda’s interview with BeerBiceps’ Ranveer Allahbadia, “America made Oppenheimer. That man built the atomic bomb. It was such a painful incident… in Japan, on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they detonated the bomb at night. America is the good guy. What did they do in Vietnam? Their movies are propaganda, their movies tell the entire world that ‘we are the best army, we are the good guys. Japanese, Germans are bad’ And history also has the same thing, because they have written history.”

Hooda’s remarks shed light on the complexities of filmmaking and the influence of one-sided storytelling on shaping cultural and historical narratives, while underscoring the importance of critical thinking and awareness in consuming media.
