Don't be a Leftard - judging art on it's politics rather than on it's merits.

Oh please. I didn't watch his movies even before I knew his politics.
I like Johnny Depp's movies, and he's a liberal idiot loon.

Maybe this will help.

"...While the Soviet-era horrors were much different than those committed under Hitler, the death count was much higher, primarily because it lasted for decades..."

Just a fact: number of prisoners in GULAG in Stalin times was less then now in Russia, and in USA. Don't mind this information, if it in contradiction with all you learn during your lifetime. It is more convenient.

It's Speilburg. It's a Hollweird movie. Don't take these leftist scum to seriously, not everyone is a brain dead lib.

It's about cold war Russia and spies.
There used to be a time when Hollywood told pretty good stories, embellished, but good and mostly factual, none the less, now it's all pretty much garbage, you never know where the lie begins or ends.

Me either, I just don't care about them in the least. I just use Netflix if a good kids movie comes out.
Love the corny predictable stuff, but beyond that, there isn't a star alive that could draw me to sit in a theater.

I read this in original post and thought that I need to show that they are little out of their minds...
Back to americans, making movies about russians. It is always fanny, because of many little (and big) things, that totally wrong. I think the same thing american viewer can see in foreign movies about USA. For example, this is saloon scene from russian comedy about Wild west. Totally recognizable as foreign movie, and not just because of unknown actors for american viewer.

Hey, Hollywood used to portray every Russian woman as a Tug boat Annie caricature, big, ugly and more manly than the manliest of men, with a voice that would scare a polar bear into a raging fire.
But since the wall came down, the world finally realized that Russian women are amongst the most beautiful women in the world, if not the most beautiful.

I'd say it began when a French cameraman photographed an oncoming locomotive, the first moving picture distributed globally. Numerous press reports said later that movie patrons were so terrified by the relentless train about to kill them that they literally ran from the room.
Or it coulda been about December 8, 1941. Not a whole lot of accuracy until much later and larger budgets allowed a grander scope---but still containing necessary fiction to condense hordes of people into single characters viewers could relate to.
In my lifetime it came when the first version was released of the film The Manchurian Candidate. It does remind me so much of the Obama era, the moment he said ISIS was contained.
