The Cold War 2.0

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 2015)

Rather than adequately show the real negative features of the Stalinist regime, this film shows us the primitive and delusional set of propaganda clichés, which many directors in Hollywood would have refused to use even during the Cold War. For example, in the Soviet Union no one has ever claimed that criminal offenses is a product of the capitalist world and that in the SU can not be criminals. It reminded me of "The Venus Project" by Jacque Fresco, American engineer and Utopian, who seriously considering the possibility of creating society without criminal offenses. It seems, the author of the book "Child 44" instead of studying history of Soviet Union just watched conspiracy film "Zeitgeist ". Also very remarkable moment with the execution without trial, because it is well known that even in the Stalin era there was a judicial system, which although has been simplified to fight with the so-called "enemies of the people", but to shoot the parents in front of their children - this is complete nonsense. The plot is so crazy and uninteresting that even such actors like Gary Oldman and Vincent Cassel can not save this film. Such movies only awakens Russian rage against the West (especially in such a difficult period of bilateral relations), instead of helping them to overcome their historical past. Propaganda is a bad thing, but far worse is cheap and primitive propaganda.
