I usually like to watch movies during the Cold War, but after watching a lot of movies controlled by the United Kingdom and the United States, I can’t help but sigh and sigh: how strong the Soviet Union was back then, and how much the West hates that part of history today, of course, the feng shui turns, the Soviet Union The disappearance of the world has left almost all the right to interpret history in the hands of the Western world.
It is true that during the period of the Soviet Union, the overall atmosphere was high-pressure and centralized, but does this mean that all mistakes have to be blamed on the Soviet Union? The movie interprets the information warfare in the second half of the Cuban Missile Crisis very well, but this is "out of context" in my eyes. Do you not see the ballistic missiles that the United States first deployed in Turkey and Italy. The world view in the movie is that intelligence discovered Cuban missiles, and the disarming of Cuban missiles won world peace, which is entirely a Western view of history.
From the perspective of the Soviet Union, the deployment of missiles to Cuba can be completely understood as, in order to deal with the missiles deployed by the United States in Europe, why is there only a "Cuban Missile Crisis" left in history, but many people do not know about the "European Missile Crisis"? This is the power of cultural export.
You can't say that he vilified the Soviet Union in an all-round way, but it's by no means objective. In short, if you lack a sufficiently detailed view of history (neither neutrality or not), you can rely solely on some Western thinking "adapted from real events" Movies, really, have a lot of stereotypes that are "wrong but feel very reasonable".
After watching this film, it is a solidification of a similar impression. The Soviet government is pedantic, the KGB is ruthless, the traitors of the Soviet Union are noble (??), the British intelligence agency is professional and ruthless, and the American CIA is witty and brave etc. Maybe most people feel this way after reading it. However, the question is, did the KGB have no wise and brave events? Shouldn't someone who betrayed the U.S. government be described as noble?
At this point, it can only be said that the cultural invasion of the West, perhaps since the birth of the specter of socialism, has begun to nibble away at the slightest "heretic" thought.
I can't help but sigh, when the Soviet theme is exhausted and the red Soviet Union (at least the government) is rooted in the hearts of most people as "evil", then who will the West target next? Obviously, it's your family, that is You red China.
As many people have discussed, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the decline of Russia, a full-scale confrontation between China and the United States is inevitable. Of course, the Cold War era is unlikely to recur, and I firmly believe that "the 21st century is a silver bullet/W century", so various New cultural export, infiltration, and even hidden subversion will appear more and more around you and me. isn't it?
In the recent social events (jumping off the building) in the Bay, Hong Kong, and even inland, you will easily see the presence of some extraterritorial forces. Of course, in addition to these, shaking your ideological foundation is the most insidious way. If in your mind the Soviet government during the Cold War was utterly evil, then, when you face China's own history, will you flash a few doubtful question marks: Did our leaders at the same time also behave as vilified leaders? Like Khrushchev? It's good to be thoughtful, but be wary that the conclusions you're thinking about come from someone else's/Western indoctrination.
I believe that China during the Cold War or World War II will appear more and more in Western-minded movies. What we can do is not just laugh at the movie after watching the movie, but what we should do is to understand the corresponding real history.
Of course, the final interpretation right of the Soviet Union does not belong to Russia. This is the limitation of history and the sadness of the Soviet Union, but please remember that the history of China was witnessed and participated by you and me, and hundreds of millions of people from our ancestors. One day on the big screen, I saw Cuan Fu sneaking into Beijing to be a spy. Don't just look at the pictures that "they" photographed for you. Always remember to learn about the real history that they "didn't" and "avoided". story.
Keep your opinion, find the true history.
