This is fascinating to me… movie-makers will have to chose their villains carefully in the new information age.
MSNBC pointed out the Russian Communist party members are pretty ticked off about the latest Indiana Jones Movie. They provided a link, which I checked out, (and so far I don’t seem to have the Department of Homeland Security knocking down my door.) The link is full of Russian and English conversation about how unfair it was to Russian Indiana Jones fans to vilify the Russians…many of the Russian fans grew up when Indiana Jones was a fighter of Nazis, something everyone could get behind. Here is the Link
I saw the movie, and I personally didn’t think it was that bad. It is set in 1957, and makes many references to the Cold War. The Russians were treated as the enemy in the movie, but they were not depicted as inhumane. And Cate Blanchette was extremely charismatic as the Russian leader looking for the Crystal Skull.
For those of you that have seen this movie…what do you think?
