Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | How patriotism is portrayed in fictional TV oscillates between two poles. At one pole a patriotic character is portrayed as the quintessential citizen and, likely, soldier. His actions are noble. This is mostly a Forgotten Trope in modern cinema, although it still pops up occasionally (often subverting the ideas of what makes someone patriotic, à la A Few Good Men, or the other attributes associated with patriotism, à la Forrest Gump). At the other pole, the character is a buffoon of some sort—an overly-officious blowhard, or a naif who has never done any thinking of his own, or even just a thug with a popular excuse for his actions. Very rarely, you get a mix, where the blowhard is genuinely loyal and commendable, if not always in a respectable way. This basically becomes the Sliding Scale of Patriotism vs Jingoism. |
