Why is there in almost every fucking action movie a character from Eastern Europe, and 98% of time it’s some drug dealer, mafia, mob boss, smuggler, thief, gang member or leader or some criminal in general. Even if it’s not a plot point, they have to at least mention it.
It doesn’t have to be Russia, it’s either Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Montenegro, Albania etc. I heard this in movies on TV at least 100 times just this year.
Why the fuck do you always have to at least mention Eastern Europe in any way? You ruined and pillaged the region 30 years ago and turned it into a hellhole it is today full of criminals, corruption, bourgeoise and fascists politicians, what the fuck do you want anymore?
Rant over.
Pretty sure Belarus was “featured” in Hollywood recently. Iirc, the movie “Bodyguard for a killer” revolved around a “dictator from Belarus” in an international court.
Yeah.
Was that supposed to be like parody of Lukashenko?
Probably. Or - no less likely - they just wanted a “generic bad guy from badguyland” and just picked a random country. To quote an old movie: “Where’s this ‘Albania’? Who cares!”
