"Брат-2" с английскими субтитрами | "Brother-2" with English Subtitles


Брат-2 с английскими субтитрами _ Brother-2 with english subtitles from Vitalii Nekrasov on Vimeo.


My good Russian friend recommended this movie, and as he has never done that before, I gave it a go. I do that with all friends, which is why you've been seeing some write ups for Westerns of late. Not my genre, but entertaining to see it through other people's eyes.

This movie is well worth it if you like violent movies and it's available above in full on Youtube.

Ordinarily I switch off movies that fetishise shooting, because it's cheesy and unappealing for me, but as it's a Russian movie I persisted. A subtitled movie is usually a better bet for keeping my interest.

The main character in Brother 2 looks nothing like a trained killer, adolescent even, but that doesn't take away from his compelling performance. A really quality understated portrayal.

The movie is set in Moscow and Chicago and gives us a real flavour of criminal life as seen through the eyes of a foreigner, fresh on the streets of the United States (however long that is going to last at present).

Hollywood is largely responsible for the portrayal of different countries in a stereotypical manner. It's better now than it used to be, but watch The World of Suzie Wong to see the most excruciating of Occidental views of the Orient.

It's this movie's ability to get a sense of Chicago (home to Obama as he was being groomed for President by alphabet agencies and other parties, that we don't know their names.), which separates it from a domestic POV.

Every informed person knows the weekly murder rate in Chicago is the highest in the country, and is befitting for the adopted City of Barry Soetoro the cut out president.

There's some gruesome scenes in this movie. DIY guns exploding in sensitive places, rape porn being watched by the fat controller of a night-time establishment, and some excellent guns, which paradoxically I have slight fetish for, as design is often superb and obviously killing looters, rioters and violent thugs is quite topical as the scripted decline of the USA plays out in real life.

If you're confused by what's going on Stateside right now, you can see the recipe was created decades ago.

Watching this movie will help, but as you can see from my friends message, there's a lot more depth there, then I picked up on.

Update: The video has been disabled the day after I post it. It can still be watched within the Youtube environment, I believe.

Are The EU & Bill Gates A Malignant Tumour?




Is the EU and then World Health Organisation, a malignant tumour? 

On the surface it's a happy clappy work-in-progress, but aside from being run by unelected bureaucrats... it is militarily aligned with NATO which is responsible for some of the worst human atrocities of the last few decades. Those who think an EU super army will do differently probably need to do some research on the child abuse victims in Brussels where senior EU and NATO officials reside and practice their occult beliefs.

However for me the obvious blindness of EU fans is the crushing austerity imposed on Greece, Spain and Portugal. Neoliberal economics is a cancer and those who are invested in trivial pursuits such as gender fluidity identity issues are so hopelessly lost among the bombs abroad and the hungry families at home they fail to see the grotesque nature of the ideology they side with.

Last and most telling about the remain crowd is their fervent support for EU human rights.

Only thing is, the EU ignored those same human rights when it came to smashing the faces in of the Catalans. Show me one pro EU person who objected to the violence imposed on these people. 
Just one. 

Do I have one pro EU person in my nearly 5000 connections and whatever number of followers who can stand up and say they are consistent in their value set?

The comments are open.

Shenandoah - 1965





I'm not into Western movies, per se, but if I ask a friend what their favourite movie is, and I know nothing about it, I'll give it a try.

This is actually a civil war movie,  about a wholesome widower's family played by the great James Stewart, who to my knowledge led an exemplary life with very little scandal in his movie making career.

The wholesomeness is mirrored in the movie by Charlie Anderson, played by Stewart. His large family of mostly sons and two daughters, are often occupied with life on their somewhat large farm.

The civil war eventually intrudes on their lives, with pressure to co-opt the sons into the advancing Confederate army, and some tough lines are to be drawn.

A movie like this can never be made now as the 'you're either with us, or against us' mentality has pervaded all of Hollywood's output with respect to war mongering.
