A number of members of the Communist Party in Russia are asking its citizens to boycott the new Indiana Jones movie, as they say it's a historical distortion, and puts communist ideology in a bad light. Ease up guys, it's Hollywood, you can't expect truth from there.
The setting for the new Indiana Jones movie is a battle between Indiana Jones and a dastardly KGB agent played by Cate Blanchett.
One Russian Communist Party politician, Andrei Anreyev, said "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."
Talk about taking things too seriously. It's just a movie.
Thinking some may take the film as historical truth, some Communist Party members let it be known on a Web site that the former Soviet Union "did not send terrorists to the States" in 1957. Good thing they corrected us on that.
Of course what they've probably done have ensured that it will get a good showing in Russia, by doing the one thing that will just about guarantee it: telling everyone not to go see it. It's premiered in Russia on Thursday.
It and so but in that and has put what is it cinema instead of a reality everyone can should think..
