RIA Novosti \u2013 Hollywood has long raised Russians\u2019 hackles over what many see as crude national stereotypes propagated on the screen, including the drunken cosmonaut in the 1998 blockbuster \u201cArmageddon,\u201d which sparked outrage in the Russian parliament.
\nCyrillic gibberish, anachronisms and Russian phrases that appear to have swished back and forth between languages a dozen times in Google Translate: all of these are par for the course in portrayals of Russia on American screens big and small.
\nOddities include a scene from the 1986 Arnold Schwarzenegger film \u201cRed Heat,\u201d in which a Soviet police officer for some reason is typing a report in Russian but using the Latin alphabet, as well as a screenshot from the 1963 James Bond movie \u201cFrom Russia With Love\u201d that features glass doors in a Russian embassy stenciled with non-Russian words to indicate \u201cpush\u201d and \u201cpull.\u201d
\nHollywood producers occasionally invest money to ensure the accuracy of such details \u2013 investment that is typically hyped in the pre-release promotional campaign. Mostly, though, Hollywood films have relied on \u201cabsurd\u201d stereotypes and \u201crough approximations of what might imaginably be true. Over the past century, most Hollywood directors who contemplated making films involving Russia knew next to nothing about the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
