I think it's that. The West doing their damndest to foster conditions for a regime change (whatever combo of oligarchy, military, populace) and ideally for a new regime which is less distrustful of / hostile toward the West.

The early stuff yeah but there was no way in hell you were going to pull off what Murnau started doing by 1924. That was when cinema became its own art form and started doing something none of the other mediums could.

Dog and horse competitions should follow. People make fun of this but cat shows are money making events, and barring Russian cats from competition reduces their value in the world of purebred cat fancy. People won't buy their kittens, which is a big source of income for people with show cats. Russian cat owners will still have the joy of their kitty companions, but they will have fewer ways to monetize their ownership of purebred cats. Cat People are fierce about their cats. The devaluation of Russian cats on the world market will be another economic stick poked in Poopin's eye. Maybe all cat owners in Russia should start sending used kitty litter to his mansions. A big enough pile would eventually be good compost, but in the meantime, not so pleasant.

The world really fed Ukraine's and specifically Zelensky's ego to the point where they think the entire world should be sacrificed to keep their govt from being overthrown by Russia 😭😭

My favorite is "M" (1931) Maybe the scariest movie OAT

Akira Kurosawa learned from the master. Starts with the letter F.

No one outside Ukrainians trying to get morale up wants a no fly zone, it's a stupid idea

As did Alf

DER ANGRIFF STEINERS WAR EIN BEFEHL

Murnau also inspired the masters of ours too. Four Sons

Ukrainians should just surrender, the more they fight the higher chance Russia doesnt expand the glorious USSR uhh geopolitical bad stuff happens

Yoo is this public execution thing real???

If that happens Nato surely will have no choice

It's an idea that's deranged and idiotic beyond words

But what do you expect, there's never been such a response to a country being invaded ever throughout history, yall made em think they're the chosen ones

@DELON your cinema grandpappy might be the only one that didn't get influenced by Weimar

Sjostrom doin how own thing tho

It's actually dangerous if Ukrainian civilians are thinking they are winning and getting cocky and making mistakes because of it

The idea of asking for something more than what you need and meeting in the middle is just too a bit much for you guys to grasp?
