What is the Overt Message? How do you Know?
The overt message is the brilliance of America due to its automobiles and oil. This is evident as the motion picture readily proclaims this throughout and is the center of the plot.


What is the Covert Message? How do you Know?
The covert message is the greatness of American Society compared to others. It shows the alien society which they relate as the opposers of America in their barbaric acts and lack of intelligence, and then it shows America, a work of art in its beauty and creativity and how they have solved all questions the other society had.


Is it Propaganda or Persuasion? Why?
This is propaganda in the fact that it uses the overt message of the brilliance of America as a gate way to show that its greatness comes largely oil and automobiles. This could then be used as propaganda to convince people to buy oil and support America and her greatness.
