Salt (2010)
Completely unrealistic image of Russia
I wonder is there any more stupid image of Russia in the history of American movies? Where did you get these surnames? Ask any Russian on the net for a huge bunch of real Russian surnames. Where did you get this ring kissing ritual? Stupid.
An image of Russian super-spies drinking vodka on the stinking rotten ship, which somehow serves them as a base is also unrealistic. Just as 50Kg woman which can be thrown against the wall and have no even single bruise after.
I wonder, do all Americans still know Russia as it is shown in this film? Or it is just comfortable to utilize 30 year old image because developing new one and showing it can reduce cash flow? But the action itself (if you switch off your brain for 1h30min) is good. It is the only thing we can enjoy in this movie together with a good actor play.
JAG: Gypsy Eyes (1998)
Most marasmic image of Russia I ever saw :)
Oh... During the whole episode I couldn't help laughting. This is the most unbelievable image of Russia I ever saw in American movies...
Guys, please, next time you film something about Russia, hire a good Russian consultant or at least ask some locals... The whole plot is a crap. ;) This looks like an attempt to show Russia as a wild-wild country full of square-shaped beef-witted humans.
Where are armed forces in Syberia from in 1998? You missed a century, I suppose. Especially such armed forces, that can rape women? How can you purchase a train ticket without showing your ID? How can you stand on the train-station in Perm, speaking English loud, looking American from top to toe and at the same time being unnoticed? And those secret games played in KGB? Oh ;) And remember, no one in Russia calls somebody "Major Nikolay". "Mayor Petrov" - yes. But ranks are never combined with first names. You kept me laughting even during the most tragic moments of the episode...
Next time you will picture a Russian woman from country, make her gestures look simple. Not so smooth and beautiful like ones taken from aristocracy. And I doubt plain syberian woman would know even who the Chekhov is.
C'mon, guys. You really need to learn something about Russia. Really. This episode even beaten that one with crazy skipper of some Russian ship. I laughed at that one also ;)
