American movies or cri de coeur

in americanmovies •  7 years ago  (edited)

I apologize in advance for some not literal expressions. Yes, just watched the new movie "The Killer's Bodyguard" with Rayon Reynolds and Samuel Lee Jackson. And after this movie, I just have one thought in my mind: What's a FUCK ?!

Have you ever thought about the second meaning of the movies, you are watching to, especially American ones? Who are usually the bad guys there? Until recently in most cases all the gangsters or stupid guys were represented by Russians. Based on the current movie, Lukashenko (the president of Belarus/White Russia) did not please or was not polite and friendly enough to the US government. So now the bad guys are the Belorussian. I do not know if the guys from the neighboring country themselves think so, but in my family Belorussian were always perceived as the Slavic brothers, so basically, our people, who share the same language, culture, traditions, habits, etc. Watching this movie I felt really sorry about this neighbored country and about our, Russian people in general. Well, let's start from the very beginning:

I don not wanna spoil, but I note that the first layer of the movie (let's call it like this), actually ok. Typical American cliche: only Americans are able to fight against "bad guys", in this case, again, the Belorussian. In the meantime they crush poor Europe (Amsterdam), and try to solve our the personal problems related to the relationship of course. Of course, there are couple of sentimental monologues to show that the movie has a deep meaning behind. Oh yes, we should not forget about the attempts to demonstrate awesome sense of humor, which in some places, I must admit, at least in German, was pretty good. In general, I think, based on the description, the main idea and concept of the movie you already understand)))

Let's proceed to the second level / layer of this movie: from my point of view it is a pure propaganda and brainwashing for those who are not interested in politics and current situation in the world. According to American movies, you can even immediately understand with whom the USA has political or economic problems now, or whom it simply does not like.

So now, I'm surprised to be honest to see that Belorussians play the role of gangsters. I am wondering what have I missed recently while reading the newspapers...

But now seriously...Does anybody notice it? Does anybody see what is behind this kind of movies?
Why we, in our country, do not show Americans as dummies, who blindly believe to everything what they are said on TV or newspapers?

How can our, Russians people watch a movie where your people are exposed to insidious villains and get pleasure from it?

And the people who are not interested in anything else as just sleeping, eating and having sex, unconsciously believe in it and think that yes, that who the Russians are. The will automatically get a certain image about Russians.

For example, my own experience: how i became tired and even kind of sick of this phrase "There is something wrong with you. You are not typical Russian. Why do not you drink vodka? You Russians drink a lot "or something like" you're so friendly, you smile all the time: you're completely different from Russians. " In these cases i just wanna ask: "And in your opinion,all the Russians drink a lot of vodka and immediately shoot from Kalashnikov?" Lately, when the person starts to make this kind of jokes, I just immediately make a conclusion about his or her intelligence.

Sorry for being so emotional, but i just find it very unfair... Remember the movie "American Sniper"with Bradley Cooper. Sorry, if I touch now the feelings of the readers, but those who are big fans of this movie seem to me as an incredibly stupid people. I understand, emotions are bubbling in me, but I'll try to argue my statement as accurately as possible. The main character in reality absolutely could not find himself in a normal peaceful life: he could not become neither a normal father, nor a lovely and reliable husband, nor a support for his family. As we know making a children is not a super big deal ... But being with your family, supporting her in difficult times and raising your children requires much more psychological, emotional and physical energy and strengths. The dude found no other way than to go to the war, and kill a bunch of people. That was his only way to feel kind of a hero. But who told you, that he was killing only the terrorists? Maybe there were innocent people among them. The second question: why the fuck did he go to this War? Did Iraq directly attack America? Did Iraq start the war, just like Hitler with the USSR? Why do I bring this example? I just wanna explain: I understand when people are participating in a war in order to protect their country, their homeland and their family. And what motivates then American soldiers fighting in Irag, Siriya, Afganistan, Vietnam, etc.? Just because of money? How does US Government explain and motivate their citizens to go to war in Vietnam? Afghanistan? American democracy of the 21st century: native Americans are put in reservations and no one help them to assimilate within a country.

In general, once again I apologize if I hurt the feelings of the readers ... But we all have kind of freedom of speech, so I am supposed to have the right to express my opinion as well. I just feel sorry of all these double - triple standards ...and i am just shocked sometimes how sham our world is.

Sadly, most people in America are programmed well, and they are ignorant of the facts. Blind nationalism has ruined this place.
