RE: My Favorite Russian Films - Definitely Check These Out
Of course you have movies and music in Russia, but strangely it is not something one thinks about here. I watched the concert clip of DDT and was nice watching the people be people there. It strikes me (as several of your posts have) that we are trained to think of others as a country, and not as people. In the video, you see people singing along, dancing. Each with their own story, their own struggle.
Just curious, but do Russians have the same blinders on towards the U.S. that we have towards them?
Yes, and No. Their images of the U.S. for so long have been dipped in gold that they are so shocked when they hear the continual lies told about them in the Western news. My concern is that they are starting to hate the West. It's like the the kid that is being teased. He isn't angry at first, he is just shocked and curious why people would do/say such things. However, after awhile he starts to hate those that continue to cause him anguish. It is a slow drip, but it has been taking its toll over the last several years. The video, by the way, that you watched was in Kiev, Ukraine before the Maidan. Did you notice how much they hated Russians? Exactly. Another manufactured story.
Sadly many of us here in the west are as well. I have talked with a growing number of people over these last few years who believe eastern Europe is the only chance we have left to survive as the leaders of the west all appear to be on some insane suicide march.
