We have a very funny translation for the movie "Star Wars I", but only those who know Russian and watched famous Soviet movies (especially the movie Kin-dza-dza! 1986) will be able to evaluate it.

It is called Storm in the glass / Буря в стакане (2004).

Concerning this thread in general . .

Once again , how I view Star Wars as such . .

I do not know if there is something to the rumours that George Lucas' dad was a member of the KKK . .

Concerning George himself . .

I do not think he studied anthropology for nothing . .


He probably is deeply interested in . . ahemm . . 'human differences' . .

Also , he has that kind of stare in his eyes which is typical for groid-haters if you ask me . . .


( do not be fooled by him later supposedly giving groids a place in his life or in Star Wars , he has to keep it with the Hollywood kikes or his movies won't be published . . .)

Like I said , Star Wars is all about 'light' vs. 'dark'.

On all levels.

I don't think one could ever paint the bad guys darker and the good guys lighter tbh , even to the point of skin . . .

In fact it is light < - - - > dark thinking uplifted to a theological level.

The Jedi Knights are the guardians of the republic . . Inside the USA the KKK also takes the stand to be there to protect the Anglo-Saxon republic and it rejects darkies . . .

Also , look at the history of the Sith order . . .

A few betraying Jedi turned to 'the dark side' , came into contact with an ape-like humanoid species . . .


. . called 'the Sith' , in time even miscegenated with each other , giving the whole phenomenon the name 'Sith' . . .

Also , the bad guys are often portrayed as 'primitive savages' , swarthy and even with body paint . .

In my opinion this photo contains serenity. And serenity is a sign of balance between opposing forces



Quote:

Toto Cutugno- Insieme

( rethorical question , I admit ) . . .

Above one of the most famous "Grand Prix" songs . . .
I do not know. I haven't watched TV for a long time.

Toto Cutugno was well known in Russia in the 1980s. Eurovision contest is also well known in Russia.



Quote:
. . . the impression
Of course, these impressions ranged from "an unforgettable impression" to "this was the first movie during which I fell asleep."

This movie is addressed to young people. And young people get a stronger impression of it than adults people. You should also understand that Soviet youth watched this movie about 10 years after its creation. And their impression could not be as strong as in the United States during its creation.

For the first time, Soviet young people saw the movie in the youth program, which showed fragments of the movie for three minutes in 1989. The first official release of the movie on the screens of Soviet cinemas occurred in 1990.

These are Soviet posters for this movie
















Shortly thereafter, video salons were opened by private entrepreneurs. And we just washed away with a wave of American movies. And against the background of this glut of movies for us, Star Wars were not something special, at least for me.



Quote:

Dschinghis Khan - Dschinghis Khan
I have heard this song many times
Only then I did not know it name and the name of the musical band.

Believe me , I've heard interpretations about Star Wars I better do not even share here . . .

So , how is Star Wars as such received in Russia?
I have already answered this question above.
I can add that I watched a lot of American movies for the first time in a video salon:

Back to the Future, The Thing, Lethal Weapon, Rocky, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, Tango & Cash, The Terminator, RoboCop, Rambo, Ghostbusters, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Overboard, Commando, The Running Man, Over The Top, Predator, Conan the Barbarian, Red Heat, Alien, Dune, Escape from New York, Red Sonja, Dead Heat, A Fish Called Wanda, License to Drive, Twins, Brewster's Millions, Think Big, Ruthless People.

This is certainly not a complete list. And I received this injection consisting of movies not gradually over many years, but over a rather limited amount of time. Against this backdrop, Star Wars is just one of the good movies.



Quote:

Pretty Fly For A Jedi - Music Video
Of course I heard the original of this song.

I do not understand the sounds of English words well. Therefore, I can not perceive the whole meaning of the video.

Question for Alex Him: Have you ever seen Solaris and the 1964 Czechoslovak film Ikaria XB-1, known in the US as Voyage to the End of the Universe? Both very good, but I never read Stanislaw Lem's original novels both films were based on.

The Empire = evil nazis. And The Republic = allies. The entire narrative is just a semitic "feel good" story, that used actual historical fiction as a basis for the Science Fiction story. That's why I hate Star Wars. And that's why we should attack Star Wars.

It informs about the same things as on other posters:
a name of the movie,
a country that made the movie,
a genre of the movie,
names of the director and actors.

The genre is defined here as a galactic western.

Thank you.
But this is not our achievement; this is our destiny.

Of course, I know the name of Stanisław Lem. But I did not read his books and did not watch these movies.

Have you read "Plutonia" by Vladimir Obruchev?

TBH , I think only intergalactic jerks might enjoy this cheap Star Wars copy


I think ,should "aliens from outer space" ever visit our earth and they are exposed to an episode of "Battlestar Galactica" they'd probably be like. .
. . . probably in a way not even the late Perry Rhodan could ever contrive . . .

I don’t remember whether I ever watched the whole movie or only watched fragments of it.

That there are several series on this topic I did not know until this moment.

I am not able to assess the impact of the movie on the Russian public. I don’t even know in what units of measurement it would be possible to measure the degree of such impact. Obviously it was smaller than Star Wars.

Nevertheless, there are clubs of fans of this franchise on the Internet.



Quote:

I guess it is much smaller. However, somehow it is difficult for me to evaluate, since I do not belong to the number of fans of science-fiction.

I was fond of science-fiction mainly in childhood. At that time, my father bought mostly foreign science fiction books and I read them, especially Harry Harrison and Robert Sheckley.

I was greatly impressed by novel of Theodore Thomas and Kate Wilhelm The Clone.

Are you seriously?

If you are serious, I would recommend that you stay away from Ray.

I find it hard to imagine what he will do to you for such "blasphemy" when you meet him.

. . what makes me wonder is why nobody has claimed Lucas is a jew in this thread . . .

He is always under the suspicion of being one . .


. .with a last name like 'Lucas' . .

. .

. . but no ,he is of mostly Anglo-Saxon and Swiss- German ancestry . . .

Also , he doesn't look kike at all . .

He was even raised methodist ( ! ) . .


. . that's the symbol the Methodists use . .

. .like I said ,not sure about the claims of George Lucas' dad being in the KKK yet the founder of the second era klan was one methodist priest , William Joseph Simmons . .

. . correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Lucas also use 'prominent' names/expressions for his 'bad guys' in Star Wars ?

The 'Sith' phenomenon could be a name allusion to 'Set' ( isn't there a 'satanic' organisation out there called 'The Temple Of Set' ? ) . .

Or even the names of existing tribes of 'darkies' as allusion for his Sith-phenomenon . .?

For example there is a Sith-tribe in his saga called the 'Massassi' . . maybe a name-allusion to the African tribe of the 'Maasai' ?

Anyway . . I think the basic concept which could be seen shining through Star Wars ( despite later being touched by political correctness ) is. . The 'good' guys = 'light'- figures ; the bad guys = swarthy , primitive savages . . .
