Why is it so hard for Americans to get REAL RUSSIANS to play Russian characters in Hollywood movies?
They're always Swedish or Polish or Croatian or some flaky shit.
You're telling me it's easier to find a Croatian than a goddamn Russian?

russians hate jews senpai
Russians don't like playing Russian stereotypes
Boris the Sneaky Fuckin Russian
>is it that hard to find a good russian actor
Yes
>>63670151
have you seen any Russian movies?
>>63670105
beacuse the pool is too small to let outsiders in. its the same reason why there are so few non jew actors.its business ,not art
Because the best Russian actor is dead
>>63670229
you mean
Isn't the guy on the left from the balkans? Not Russian
>>63670105
5"5 foot tall slavs don't look menacing or something.
>>63670189
I was going to say Enver Gjokaj can't play them all but then I googled him and he is not in any way russian
>>63670105
Im more annoyed by incorrect dialogue. you would think that with million dollar budgets they could pay somone 100$ to spell check and extra 200$ for help with pronunciation. faggot would not even have to leave his home, he could just video record that shit and send it to actors. I bet there is some guild law against it
I was surprised how good Viggo's and Cassel's russian pronunciation was in Eastern Promises, actually.
>>63670105
There aren't many qualified Russian actors in Hollywood, it is possible to get them but nobody wants to waste time to get them on. Nobody gives a shit anyway.

This thread is now about russian movies
>>63670105
Americans have commiephobia
>>63670376
The only good russian post-soviet director (Balabanov) is dead, nothing to talk about.
>>63670376
do Russians actually make any movies worth watching? (action/crime movies don't count)
Anyone watched The Man From UNCLE?
The russian agent was fucking hot
>>63670275
Learn to read opening posts.
>>63670460
No. They make 1 good movie like every 5-10 years, mostly due to budgetary limits and cultural differences. more often they make good crime /revenge related tv shows.
>>63670467
Armie Hammer is not russian
>>63670265
Del Toro is alive tho
>>63670105
This guy is the Russian Doug Walker, btw. He's pretty popular and shits on awful Russian flicks.

>>63670460
no movies about war either
>>63670511
ah ok anything interesting worth mentioning tho?
>>63670521
Its not the same if he doesnt have a hundred thousand dollar debt and a hundred thousand pound wife.
>>63670521
no he is more like the blockbuster buster
>>63670559
Does Doug Walker really have that much debt?
>>63670105
Same with Germans, they always get anglos / people with british accents to play them.
>>63670105
Real russians are drunk manlets. They don't make for imposing villains.
Because unlike Russians other Slavs usually are very good in speaking English, they just miss the quality pronunciation which actually makes them perfect to play a Russian as seen by the American public. It is much easier for them to get a role since they can travel freely to the USA. Also Rade is GOAT. He made a career out of playing Russian bad guys.
>>63670460
This movie about teen bydlo is pretty good

Because Russia is a oligarchical dictatorship
they hate jews and jews hate them

I heard he bought a big movie set and signed years long contracts with several actors, then promptly declared bankruptcy.
>>63670334
Kill yourself.
Why don't they cast this guy more often? He loves to play Russian characters and he's actually Russian.
>>63670913
He doesnt look russian at all.
Thing about scandinavians is, they look like what americans think a russian is. Russians mostly dont.
>>63670555
>ah ok anything interesting worth mentioning tho?
I have not been in touch with russian productions so Im out of date.The Inhabited Island (Russian: Oбитaeмый ocтpoв) is popular since like dune it turns the messiah story on its head.Night Watch (Russian: Hoчнoй дoзop, Nochnoy dozor) is popular im not sure why,I liked the song but urban supernatural is not my speed + magneto did the same bus flip few years later. there also was a tv show about a mute guy in jail who was framed for killing his wife and tons of other people, its hard to find but I still remeber the poisoned cгyщeнкa and how other prisoners chanted his name after one of the big fights, there was tons of cool characters, criminal boss nick named the emperor and they put on king lear play,etc the shit was cash.

>.The Inhabited Island (Russian: Oбитaeмый ocтpoв) is popular since like dune it turns the messiah story on its head.Night Watch (Russian: Hoчнoй дoзop, Nochnoy dozor) is popular
Generally, both considered to be inferior adaptations of source books.

Rade Serbedzija is a Croatian citizen who is an ethnic Serb.
Now during his education, in former Yugoslavia it was almost mandatory to read and speak Russian. Serbs share a special connection with Russia and they mostly learn russian, this might not be his personal opinion, but basically, he is the closest thing at being a pseudo-russian sans an actual russian.
>>63670105
Same for Japanese actors.
>Lucy Liu
>JAPANESE mafia boss
Suspension of disbelief, lost.
>>63672092
>it was almost mandatory to read and speak Russian
I'm an ex-Yugoslavian. That's bullshit. We had to use the Cyrillic alphabet (albeit a special one with letters that the Russian Cyrillic alphabet doesn't have), sure, but we never had to learn Russian. The Russian language is very different from Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian.

Slavs are usually very tall. I don't know what you are talking about.
>>63672383
I'm a slav and I'm like 5'8. Many of my friends are about my height, slightly taller maybe.
>>63672383
>crypto asians
>tall
>>63672508
Which country bro? Cause I'm a slav and all my friends are at least 6 feet tall. What country are you from?
>>63672535
Seriously what the fuck? I am a slav and I live in a slavic country and most men here are over 6 feet tall.
>>63672560
Bulgaristan.
>>63672674
So you are a southern slav same as I am. I was under the impression that all slavs were tall. Average height for males in my country is 5ft 11in (180 cm). I am from Croatia btw.
>>63672878
Those self reported statistics are pretty basic.
I've been in Croatia, most people were about my size or just a bit taller. In fact from all the countries I've been into, the only place where I found people are consistently taller than me was Holland.
>>63672964
I'm 6'1 Croat and I feel intimidated when I see shit ton of girls that are tall as me. Like every fourth girl is taller than 6ft
>>63672964
People from Holland are tall as fuck. I don't know man. I am looking at the average height chart and Slovakia, Croatia , Czceh Republic, are 180 and in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia they are around 183 (184 for BiH). Those might be self reported but they can still give you a somewhat clear picture. Altough average height in you country is 175cm.
>>63673132
Croatian girls are really fucking tall . Like really fucking tall. It's fucking annoying. And I am 6ft tall. >>63673132
>>63672964
Southern Slavs are very tall on average, other Slavs are closer to average. Slavs are a linguistic group, not all Slavs are linked by ancestry.
>>63670105
I'm ruski and I loved Peter Stormare as a russian cosmonaut Andropov in Armageddon and russian mafioso in Bad Boys 2.

>>63670590
He shits on both awful Russian films and ridiculous Hollywood shitfests like YA "sagas" (Twilight/Hunger Games/Divergent) and dumbusters like Terminator Genisys.
>>63672176
>literally called a half-breed in the movie
Why don't you pay attention?
posting good russian film
>>63670105
Why dont they cast Finnish actors as Russians?
>Finns are slav mongols just like Russians
>Finns can barely speak English just like Russians
>Finns look angry and depressed just like Russians
>Finns work for food and booze just like Russians
>>63670105
Why bother casting Russians when Americans will literally walk out of the theaters as soon as they see subtitles. Plebs.
>>63677019
Because finns look like finns.
>>63677019
>hiring support staff that are trained to deal with all fifty million conditions of Finnish Heritage Syndrome
Just not worth it senpai
>>63675876
Because, maybe, she aren't a half-breed jap/white or jap/chinese ?
She look chinese as fuck. But, yes, racist people like you think that asian arr rook same, right ?
>>63677019
>Finns work
I don't think I've ever heard of a finn with a job, apart from Nokia

Name two.
>>63677349
yeah you're right chinese and japanese people have totally distinct looks and it is completely unfeasible that someone who looks like lucy liu could come from japan
>>63670105
Anyone see child 44?
Tom hardy/gary oldman russian accents are horrible
>>63670913
he looks like a dumb henchman
>>63670265
Is that JD?
>>63670954
He is Russian, but he is not Slavic, he is member of one of Finno-Ugric nations native to Russia
>>63677705
He's Russian, most of them look stupid. That's the theme of this thread, the idea of Russians as intimidating, uneducated but savagely cunning, and sadistic does not line up with how they look. Nords look how Russians are "supposed" to look. It also has to do with how Russian propaganda also portrayed Nords as Russians.
>>63672964
Depends where you went desu.
In the mountainous regions people are usually over 6'2''.
I'm 6'1'' myself.
>>63670105
South Slavs are GOAT actors of the Slavosphere.
>>63677349
>I can actually differentiate between Chinese and Japanese
What a fucking lying faggot. Not even they can until they speak.
>>63677632
>completely unfeasible that someone who looks like lucy liu could come from japan
Yes. She doesn't look like japanese at all.
But I bet you are an amerifat and for your mongrel race everybody rook same.
It seem that only ethnically clean race can spot the differences... I can guess, quite accurately, from what part of my small country, people are from. I can see differences on asians and african blacks, but amerifat seem incapable of doing it.
>>63678147
Yes, I can see the difference, even between some chinese ethnic group.
And I'm sure japanese can see the difference and even guess from which part of Japan people are from.
It was an agricultural shithole were people married locally. They can guess where people are from.
I can do it in my country, so I guess they can.
And every people can see a difference between an Irish and an Italian. Same for them.
