Last example is when the movie ‘‘Anna’’ from 2019 was on TV today and it’s about you guessed it ‘‘KGB’’ woman living in poverty in 1990 in USSR while her family or husband is abusing her, I don’t know exactly, I didn’t watch it, just read the script and of course she is dreaming to escape and goes to CIA to become double agent or whatnot.
So fucking tired of Yankee movies having anything to do with Russia, it’s always: ''those dumb drunk Slavs abusing women who must be in kitchen constantly, while they smoke and get in fights with neighbors all day while the ‘‘good’’ main characters in movies go to worship CIA and lick USA and westoid ass to escape from ‘‘hell’’ that is their country, the ‘‘good ones’’ are always those who bootlick the west after they escape and go against their country. Then the poverty they show in Eastern European countries in movies, why don’t they talk about why did poverty happen in the first place, why it’s still happening and bring up the reasons for it?
Then there are movies like ‘‘Atomic Blonde’’ from 2017 where DDR is depicted as hellhole and East Germans as basically dumb NPCs, ‘‘Red Sparrow’’ from 2018(basically the most disgusting one and same thing as Anna), All the Devil’s Men from 2018 etc etc, there are too many of them. It’s like they didn’t move on from the shit show that was Rambo 2-4, some character screaming I believe in perestroika in Tango & Cash like it’s something to be proud of and similar ones. I swear to fucking god I hate every movie with main Russian character except John Wick.
Rant over.
During the FDR administration, specifically the war, American cinema was actually very sympathetic to the Stalin-era USSR. Numerous pro-Soviet films were produced which were later pulled and investigated by the House Committee. Some of those were Mission to Moscow, Miss V from Moscow, The Boy from Stalingrad, The Battle of Russia, Days of Glory, The North Star (1943), Three Russian Girls, Counter-Attack (1945), and Song of Russia.
