Purple Hearts star Sofia Carson and director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum recently reacted to viewer's accusations, saying that their hit movie is based on "US military propaganda".

Reportedly, netizens took to Twitter and criticised movie creator for promoting military propaganda, racism and misogyny in Netflix movie. One user wrote, "Purple Hearts is US military propaganda that uses invasion and deaths of 1.2 million Iraqis as a rom-com."

Another chimed in and said, "So many people hyping up Purple Hearts as if it's not racist, misogynistic and American military propaganda. It's not 'enemies to lovers', it's awful." According to AdWeek report, despite criticism, Netflix movie has been "most watched movie on streaming service with over 102 million hours of viewing in a single week, via Independent. Carson shared, "Why I fell in love with movie is that it's a love story but it's so much more than that."

"We wanted to represent both sides as accurately as possible. I think what I've learned as an artist is to detach from all of that and just listen to what world is feeling and how film is responding to it," she remarked. Rosenbaum, on other hand addressed accusation and said, "For red heart and blue heart to be anything purple, they have to be extreme. "Some of people you surround yourself with are even more flawed than you are," added director.–Agencies
