>"Soviets totalitarianism destroyed artistic expression!">Meanwhile the USSR produced constant Kino>Post Soviet Eastern Europe produces complete thirdie tier slop and has no Kinos.What gives?
Modern Slavshit films lack funding, unlike Soviet era productions. Easier to make films when you have commiebucks designated for the purpose.
It's almost like a state created for life to not be as terrible as it would otherwise be for its people... good??
They're essentially propaganda to show how great russia is and weren't made with commercial interest in mind. Also, socialism gives you easy access to tons of labor and extras, which is what made these movies so epic.I really liked Sampo and Alexander Nevsky.
>>216014722wtf i love socialism now
>>216014492>>216014492Let's not kid ourselves thinking the soviet union was in any way meant to serve the people.
because it's pure art that's not designed to be just a commercial product that sells a loteastern block animation shows this the best.
>>216014154>"Soviets totalitarianism destroyed artistic expression!"Stupid western propaganda>Meanwhile the USSR produced constant KinoAbsolutely true>Post Soviet Eastern Europe produces complete thirdie tier slop and has no KinosAbsolutely wrong.
Absolute masterwork
>imagine being able to create art without having to worry about turning a profitThere is a reason we have fifty Marvel movies every year.
>oyy morozko, do u have any nuts?
>>216014845This looks beautiful, can you recommend some ?
>>216014154What's the film?>"Soviets totalitarianism destroyed artistic expression!"Whom are you quoting?
>AI slop threadFuck off.
>>216016076So many good shots.
>>216017012A lot. It's a extremely beautiful epic. It even has a cute Disney like scene
>>216016123>Malkolm Dovelsky
>>216014154all film was better around that time
Kochegar AKA The Stoker is also greatBalabanov was a beast, may he rest in peace
I actually don't think it has anything to do with the state, but the fact people had hope in the future.Of course us, now living in the future, now know that hope was misplaced.
They were around for like 70 years so they had more time

>>216017561Stalingrad (1947) is damned good. It has some hilariously overt propaganda with the US white house scenes. But the depiction of the fighting and the use of practical effects from ACTUAL veterans and tanks from WW2 and a reconstructed model stalingrad that gets bombed by model planes.
>>216017561Add Happiness AKA Schastye (1935)Medevkin was a visionary
>>216014154What movie? She looks beautiful
>>216014154>2nd economy on the planet funds its culture, since one of the main points of that country is promoting itself and its culture>Why they no longer have this sort of money and don't train people to do that?They do - for internal market.Making absolute propaganda slop.
>>216014845Lmao no. It's heavily censored art designed to be propaganda for the current political party. Literally the opposite of "pure art"
why isn't Russia feared or respected by anyone anymore?
>>216017826Ruslan and Ludmila, the 1972 version

>>216014492You need to be over 18 to post here.
>>216017891a lot of it was heavily censored and literally kept unreleased until after the fall of communism but ok
>>216014154Because they were funded by the actual government (including dissident and anti-system movies especially in Yugoslavia) who had actual experts who knew shit about art and literature and film, it wasn't just "I'm going to give public funding to my nephew's wife and we're fine as long as we put all the lgbt/anti-european/anti-white propaganda in it" crony mafia nepotism bullshit like in capitalism.
>>216017916You’re in the wrong thread, we hate Putin here. We also hate zelenskike though.
>>216017561Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His ProfessionIt's obligatory watch, even if easily third of the movie will fly over your head, if not more
>>216019160You mean Ivan Vasilyevich: Back to the future? That’s what comes up on google
