Oh you mean like the world famous Soviet films that swept awards at international festivals and are still considered some of the best films, in both their genres and in general, today?
what’s that one soviet film about war that is The movie about war
As the other commenter said you are probably thinking of Come and See which you can watch for free with english subtitles at Mosfilm’s official youtube channel in the link provided (Mosfilm was the production group that made the film).
Another great war film is They Fought for their Motherland which is known for being one of the most realistic war films ever made.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Matt Taibbi never mentions that his career started in Russia. He would write for Russian news outlets of English Language being The eXile (A newspaper for American expats in Russia) and Moscow Times and of the Russian language being Komsomolskaya Pravda, Trud, Stringer and Kommersant.
This was in a bio on the Literary Hub which has been scraped. https://web.archive.org/web/20210411151711/https://lithub.com/author/matttaibbi/
One of the regular contributors of eXile was a man by the name of Eduard Limonov who founded the National Bolshevik Party in Russia and then when that party was banned, gladly found The Other Russia with Liberals, Garry Kasparov and Mikhail Kasyanov. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_eXile
Another interesting fact to note is that Matt Taibbi is a journalism nepo baby whose father, Mike Taibbi was an award winning NBC and CBS reporter who would receive an Emmy Award and is four-time recipient of the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Taibbi
Oooo, nice to know and unsurprising after reading it.
I feel like the one con of “all art is political” is that it’s really hard to analyse art that isn’t meant to be political without sounding like a deranged lunatic. For example, if I tried to analyse the politics of ToyStory.exe, the most reasonable thing I could claim is that Mr. Potato Head’s death is somehow is critique of police brutality against black people, and even that feels like a stretch.
Its not that all art has political intent on the part of the author, its that all art has political character by virtue of its authors existence as a political subject. If you wanted to do a deeper read on toystory there’s probably something there about commodity fetishism as it relates to which objects are secretly animate and which aren’t, the toys assumed servitude to the humans, and why their consciousness must be kept a secret.
I’m pretty sure they were talking about a creepy pasta for toystory.exe.
Though, now that makes me think there should be a Marxist analysis of Jeff the Killer for shits and giggles.
we need a marxist analysis of early era creepypastas please that would be hilarious
Creepypastas and horror in general has strong elements of xenophobia and ableism. Somestimes misogyny too, though early creepypasta less so from what I can remember of that niche.
The old ones definitely have it as well, honestly I’d argue they could be worse in that regard then modern ones. Though, to be fair, horror can be used in a lot of ways, and it depends on frame of reference really.
Like, one creepy pasta, Anansi’s Goat Man, is pretty interesting because you can read the story from the perspective that the “Goat Man” or monster is entirely harmless. The real real of the story then becomes pondering about how the “monster” got into the state that their in, which is most likely a result of settler colonial terror against native peoples.
Also there’s the basic tropes like vampires which work as a good stand in for capitlists.
i agree, but i was thinking moreso creepypasta like Sonic.exe and stuff like that
i dont this there were very big themes of social injustice in it, just sonic going “i am god” and murdering everyone lol
Hmm something about alienation and “deification” from ordinary objects through commodity fetishism. Plus conspiracism as a result of real conspiracies
Let’s see an essay about why Slenderman is an ecoterrorist.
Yeah I was talking about a silly little .exe game series. It’s goofy as hell but I love it. Here’s a link to all of the games: 1, 2, 3, and the remaster of the first game. If someone here can go through the games and articulate something political from them I’ll be impressed.
a dude called matt taibbi has never seen any soviet film
