I wanna watch movies about the USSR, WW2, Cold War etc minus all the anti-communist bs Hollywood plasters their films with, any recommendations comrades? Maybe even some old Soviet productions?

    Watch “Dark City” from Alex Proyas. It’s about creepy white people controlling the world through alienation, disguised behind science-fiction, à la Matrix. I highly recommend watching the pervert’s guide to ideology multiple times as well as They Live from John Carpenter before watching Dark City.

    Quick analysis of the ideology, big spoiler, you will probably want to try to understand it on your own rather than reading this :

    divulgâche

    A working man, with an uncle called Karl spelled with a K and that probably is the only non-cop character of the movie with a gun btw, awakens from the alienation and through class consciousness, takes control of the machine, and use them to create a different world, where workers no longer just dream of on going on vacation. Through regained class consciousness people become kinder to one another (the old man letting Jennifer Connelly take his sit on the bus to shellbeach at the end) and start living their life.

    here’s an extract of the script towards the very end of the movie :

    -Hi, Uncle Karl. -Johnny!

               Getting the hang of it, John. Maybe one day I'll work for you.

           Here's the machine the Strangers use to amplify their thoughts,

           the machine that changes their world.

           You must take control of it. You must make the machine yours.

           I know you can beat them, but you must concentrate.

           Something's wrong.

           There is no time for romance.

           The world can be what you make it.

    edit : another extract :

    Jane and little Matthew.

             The rich get richer.

        Probably have maid's quarters...

        before the night is through.
