Trailer for historical movie based off the life of Richard Sorge, Russian agent who went behind enemy lines in Imperial Japan and Shanghai disguised as a German news reporter and fed info to the Soviets.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dbsTAvTp1ts&ra=mFilm title: Black Silk
>>18723592>Historical movie>Spy in Shanghai >But there are only 4 FOUR Asian characters in the entire trailer, the rest are all White men and womenYeah this is stupid, also the trailer shows the japanese women being like ninjas throwing spiky yoyos at the protagonist.
>>18723592For me is Last Confederate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVlwzco4RMc
>>18723610It’s a Chinese co-production and the good guys are Soviet agents who infiltrated Nazi/ Japanese lines in disguise. Also the woman is a Chinese. In the previous film the KGB faked a “burn notice” on her so she could go undercover inside KMT as a double agent.
>>18723610> 4 FOUR Asian characters in the entire trailer, the rest are all White men You will never guess which race the German speaking double agent inside Nazi Germany was
>>18723619The villain in this film appears to be a thinly veiled parody of Max Pruss, the Hindenburg pilot for some reason. His character design in the trailer sort of looks like Pruss.
>>18723610Did you know Japan has four asians?
>>18723610>>18723620>>18723629I can't complain, looking at its cheesy thumbnail I thought it was an AI """""movie"""""
>>18723808Such a good looking dude
>>18723837Nope. It’s an official Russian Federation- People’s Republic China co-production shot entirely at “The Bund” studio set at Hengdian movie studios in Shanghai. They built this recreation of 1930s era Shanghai in 2019 and it seems the PRC have been making as much use of it as they can.
>>18723894>> The project’s main villain is German Bauer, played by Aleksandar Radojičić—another Serbian actor prominent in Russian cinema. He was already acquainted with Miloš Biković and director Andrey Volgin, having worked with them on the film *The Balkan Line*. However, back then, Radojičić did not speak Russian well. "Miloš acted as the translator at the time," Radojičić added. By the time *Black Silk* was being filmed, he was able to communicate with Russian journalists without an interpreter. He faced an even greater challenge in this film, as his character speaks Japanese, German, and English. He describes the story itself as "intense."https://www.rbc.ru/life/news/6a4b6d3f9a794782c21fecb0>Need a Nazi villain name>>uhhh how about German.. German Bauer? Yeah that sounds Nazi-ish.
>>18723592Interesting topic, top pick for espionage thriller.That said, Russian movies are Republican American tier when it comes to cheesy overdone patriotic pathos and shit >Remembering that bizarro time travel movie where a white Rasta, a Chud, a Nerd, and random Chad get sent back in time to fight in WW2 and learn the meaning of Russian patriotism
>>18723629...a half-Russian German?Richard Sorge's great grandfather was a Lutheran pastor lmao.
>>18723936The name is actually Herman (still really generic lol) but Russians can't pronounce H so it changes to a G. Same reason why they called Hannibal 'Gannibal' in Russian.
>>18723972Yes I knew this character’s actual name in German would be rendered as Hermann Bauer but the thought of them using “German” as a generic first name was funny to me. I actually DID look up Hermann Bauer and the only Nazi bearing that name was a U boat captain not a playboy/ Zeppelin ace.
>>18723961I actually own the first film in this series on Blu-ray. It is based on the real story of Artyom Svetlov, a Mandarin translator who helped the Chinese communist delegation reach Moscow by traveling across Siberia ( the Chinese communist party had to hold its conference in Moscow in 1927 because Chiang Kai shek controlled the entire mainland). The movie is roughly as historically accurate as Richard Sorge having dogfights with a Luftwaffe captain- playboy.
>>18723969You seemingly misunderstood what I was getting at. I was only implying that since Richard Sorge and all his links outside the USSR were ethnic Russians that naturally a movie about him would probably have more Russians than Asians.I was not implying Sorge was Jewish as you seemed to think.
