Paul Dano in the new movie about Putin (played by Jude Law). Thoughts?

instant classic

>>212983643 (OP)
As a non-Russian Russian-speaker who's moderately immersed in this shit (certainly more than your average /pol/tard), the film's probably going to be a cringe-fest in terms of its portrayals and politics. I am very interested in seeing Law as Putin though.

>ruzzia is... LE BAD
saved you a couple hours

>>212983883
Well, yeah Russia is bad. What's your point?

>>212983643 (OP)
There he is. His nepotism powers finally getting him an award that he doesn't deserve. Dano still can't act.

I'm hoping it's going to be the new Death of Stalin.

>>212983643 (OP)
Is he supposed to be Medvedev?

>>212983857
Americans and Bongs don't do good political or social critiques outside of 70s paranoid thrillers, or Kubrick's disclosures. They're too partisan, mistaken about moral superiority, cowardly to challenge their Intel agencies narratives.

>>212985064
Is it supposed to be funny?

>>212985215
No. Dano playing "not Surkov" some composite character that is clearly Vladislav Surkov who was Putin's first Chief of Staff. Supposedly credited as the guy who proposed to oligarchs and Yeltsin for Putin to be his replacement.

It's described as a thriller, but who knows? Both Dano and Law have great comedic potential, in my opinion.

>>212985479
Why the hatred towards Slavs?

>>212985283
>mistaken about moral superiority
Nope they are morally superior genuinely. This is something that brownoids still struggle with

I don't hate either country and I don't hate Slavic people, go suck on an IED in Gaza, Moishe.

Slavs aren’t whites and they’re morons who directly fell for communism and gave birth to Israel. Stalin helped create it, look it up kike.

Assayas was born in Paris, France, the son of French director/screenwriter Raymond Assayas, alias Jacques Rémy, and Catherine de Károlyi, a fashion designer. His father was of Turkish-Jewish origin

He met actress-director Mia Hansen-Løve when Hansen-Løve, 17 at the time, starred in Assayas's 1998 feature Late August, Early September. He has said they "didn't get together until [she] was 20".[6] They separated in 2017.[7]

In 2009 and 2010, Assayas signed two petitions in support of director Roman Polanski, who had been detained in Switzerland while traveling to a film festival in relation to his 1977 sexual abuse charges in the United States and had long been in exile from the U.S. The first petition argued that the detention would undermine the tradition of film festivals as a place for works to be shown "freely and safely". It said that arresting filmmakers traveling to neutral countries could open the door "for actions of which no-one can know the effects".[8][9][10][11][12]

>>212985810
Nothing dramatic. He transitioned to being a Putin aide but then, like a typical Russian politician, stole too much, got fired, then paid off his supposed charges and retired. Which is why I think they will replace him with a fictional character so that something dramatic can happen to him.
Also, his last public statements before being sacked in 2020 is something to the effect of "There is no such thing as Ukriane, there are only hohols" so I don't know. I think it would be difficult to craft a sympathetic figure for the Western viewer out of him.

> The main character of the plot, Vadim Baranov, is fictional, but he shares many common traits with Russian politician Vladislav Surkov, whose atypical profile—rap lover, avant-garde theater director, writer and businessman—prompted The New York Times to call him one of Russia's “most intriguing figures.”[2][3] Like Baranov, Surkov was Vladimir Putin's man in the shadows, "a poet among wolves", according to Marianne.[4]

>>212983908
He not a nepo

He has also been an executive board member at the Venice Biennale[4] and the chairman of the Gabinetto Vieusseux in Florence.

From 2006 to 2008, he served as Senior Advisor to Italy's Vice-Prime Minister and Minister of Culture, Francesco Rutelli, establishing the first Italian Design Council in Milan.[5]

In 2016, he founded the think tank Volta, a member of the Global Progress network.

He has been a guest speaker at numerous conferences around the world (including São Paulo's ESPM, Geneva's Finance Foundation, Paris' Foundation Ricard and Zürich's Club Baur au Lac) and is a member of The Travellers Club[6] in Paris.

Western media is completely unable to portray a strong man without looking for snide angles and ironic posturings. The movie is likely to start with toilet shot with Putin shitting on the viewer.

They casted Jude Law to play him, my man. That's way more than that faggot deserves.

>>212983883
Hollywood is incapable of making an objectively factual movie when it comes to vaguely political figures. I just don't watch them anymore because you already know what it's going to be like depending on who the subject is.

>>212985479
>I hate Russia
Why? There's literally no reason not to like Russia

>>212985283
I don't think it's an Anglo fault specifically, I just think that in order to do a competent political/social film you have to come from the same environment that you're depicting. There are ofc exceptions to this (e.g. Death of Stalin is good-to-great), but most of the time it doesn't work as well because you're an outsider depicting events which you're not privy to and have virtually no understanding of.
>>212985215
In Russian political life there's a very specific archetype of what they call a "polit-technologue". It's a mix between a political scientist and strategist, but has a much more nefarious and wily connotation. Now around the time Putin was designated successor (first FSB director, then prime minister), he was a complete non-entity and nobody outside of St. Petersburg knew who the fuck he was. A number of polit-technologues over the next years developed his image from the ground up and Dano is playing their composite. He seems to be based mostly off Surkov, who's a pretty interesting and important figure, but it's one has to remember that Surkov wasn't some lone warrior-poet eminence grise who marionetted everything himself (which seems to be his image in the West, one I'm sure he's stoked himself).
>>212985382
>Supposedly credited as the guy who proposed to oligarchs and Yeltsin for Putin to be his replacement.
Nobody worth his salt credits him that, at best it's a rumour he himself spread around.
>>212985810
Pretty much what this dude >>212986066 says. The consensus is that he was in charge of the "Ukraine strategies" department, stole too much while doing too little, fed Putin the notions that ideologically everything was secure on that front and that the moment Russian tanks roll through the border the political elite will fold and the people will welcome their Russian liberators. This is a key reason why Putin started the war and when this was revealed to be a sham he was understandably mad with Surkov, who got promptly shuffled away

I said supposedly. But this is clearly the angle of the book and the movie are going to take.
Basically The Apprentice, with Surkov being Roy introducing Putin (Trump) to the world of corrupt oligarch politics.
>who got promptly shuffled away
He got sacked in 2020 tho, 2 years before they actually invaded.

>>212987605
>there's no reason not to like an imperialist shithole run by dictator that constantly invades its neighbours and murders opposition, journalists and anyone else he doesn't like
Okay, Caшa.

Russia has a right to defend itself.

>>212988091
is that why they have like 8 million recent political prisoners?

>>212988150
Actually, it's 12 million. Imagine the state of things when you have 18 million political prisoners. I heard they are about to cross 22 million prisoners only in 2025.

>>212988150
So does the US.

>>212988008

I had forgotten that, he must've outlived his usefullness by then + the leaked email scandal. I did remember correctly though that he got placed unedr house arrest on charges of embezzlement right after the war began and it became obvious Kremlin's scenario wasn't panning out

>>212988054

Russia has literally never invaded a non native Russian territory in the history of the nation other than when it had to defend itself.
