Summary

This quote highlights a misconception about the success of military movies. It suggests that if every military film were inherently successful, filmmakers would solely focus on producing such movies.

The statement implies that there is a range of factors and diverse interests in filmmaking, concluding that patriotism alone is not the sole determinant of a movie's triumph.
