ok look today but don't forget you can check out plenty more news stories that we have covered lots of extras at r.t. dot com. a little thing that hollywood is a very. liberal is actually defined well so this isn't a. new round of. morning you know. we're going to bring you much. hollywood is both

a place and an idea to got the movie studios television you've got the music industry sometimes as we know it's also a place where there's a lot of propaganda. to whatever part of the the u.s. government is committed you can be sure that hollywood will be following here we're hearing well. how would i define a hollywood is a caught between a manufacturer would say things true. but i think equally it's a problem given the fact. long after i 1st heard about it in the news i still couldn't believe this was this really how the united states sees the history of the word too but there it was the official white house page on a social network and it's clearly stated that it was america and great britain that

defeated the nazis during the 2nd world war without even a word about the soviet union and the version on the official carrigan website it looks even more discouraging there it turns out that world war 2 was started by germany and the soviet union it wasn't russia but france that took the brunt of it and in fact the u.s.s.r. didn't liberate the europe from hitler but occupied it it feels like the author either knows nothing about history or he does and wants to rewrite it all that makes those old how would movies that were made during the war seem even more remarkable american audience was presented with a totally different picture of the world and the soviet union back then in the next 30 minutes we will learn how history has been written and rewritten through american cinema. in 1903 at the height 2 for world war 2 the united states released mission to moscow a film about a visit to the u.s.s.r.

by american ambassador joseph davis who were displayed by actor walter houston. we don't get many of your excellency now welcome you to the soviet union in the name of my government thank you major the u.s. ambassador arrives in the u.s. sorry harboring a degree of skepticism but on the whole what he sees erin what millions of american movie goers saw along with them writes all the stereotypes about the soviet government of those times we keep experimenting to find ways to increase our efficiency but what kind of a trick there's not that much different than the rest yesterday even though the reason is that. it can usually be converted. the american film might even make the u.s.s.r. look better than soviet propaganda pictures we see modern army work in factories and friendly people who speak fluent english. oh how proud i be if i could do that well it's russian perhaps someday we shall all speak the same language if the wood

producer even flirted with the idea of making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy but it was still possible back in the 940 s. this is one of my favorite parts and aide tells at the american ambassador mr davis we need to check your office and this is why the higher rank an american diplomat tells us and stop gossiping and stop listening to it we're here in a sense as guests of the soviet government not going to believe that they trust the united states to find until a prove otherwise and mazing. in fact the film a semi documentary it was based on a book written by a master davis himself so we're not talking about a fictional diplomat here but a very real one who was so impressed with the soviet government that it seems he was ready to forgive a lot. of water source i q do. you wish to figure. out of time to throw.

some of the space to see who do you plan your visit with that i believe so that history will record you as a great builder for the benefit of mankind it is not my mr davies our 5 year plans were conceived and carried out by the people themselves again this is how we would this isn't soviet propaganda the movie itself. is the purge trials that were taking place in the soviet union it's really apology for the stalinist government but that was acceptable in 1943 you could do that another hollywood film from the time the north star depicts liason a soviet collective farm on the eve of the war the american audience doesn't hear a word about collectivization or the dispossession of independent farmers. the soviet presence look well fat and are so happy they sing at the end of their war day. was the

filmmakers even went to the trouble of translating the lyrics of a famous sabia song why it is my motherland and made american children learned by heart. i. was. the north star it was produced by samuel goldwyn co-founder of one of hollywood's most successful film companies metro goldwyn mayer. but understand why a famous american producer shot such a blatantly propagandistic picture we need to go to the archives of the library of congress where a document from the so-called office of for information of the united states is still stored. because no one from nation was established

in 1942 by the roosevelt administration and was basically a propaganda effort. limited time to good use of legal residence and you said they did it because you split it into. franklin roosevelt knew that if he wanted to actually turn american public opinion into supporting the war and even more so in supporting our soviet allies during the war he was going to need to use hollywood. level whether we're just going to davis cup one of the classes. or sadly. the profile got a little door they need to. do is cheat is the new feeling. and . i think.

sometimes the officer for information commission how they would musical comedies like this is the army which were intended to increase the prestige of military service and raise the morale of soldiers fighting overseas one of the roles in that film was played by a young actor named ronald reagan the future president of the united states. i've missed you too plenty. of thing i'd like to explain. that there were other orders that weren't so benevolent in 1942 after pearl harbor president roosevelt ordered the forced relocation of 120000 japanese people from the west coast of the united states is hard to believe but in those years japanese americans were simply put in buses and sent to specially created internment camps

in the u.s. territory the office of for information was staffed with providing media to support this monstrous initiative. japanese fishermen had every opportunity to watch the movement of our ships. japanese farmers were living close to. the propaganda that the japanese really are going to be act on behalf of the japanese government has sabotaged the war effort and put arsenic in american food and blow up the defense so that it was none of that but the loss of the war from asian produced various documentaries defending this practice. but the office issued very different instructions concerning the u.s.s.r. the soviet union was to be portrayed as a friend of them. eric in distress. in

the north star in the soviet presence peaceful life is interrupted by the not seen beijing. after the germans captured the village they begin taking the children's blood for transfusions for their wounded soldiers. the north star was nominated for 6 academy awards and 944 according to declassified documents the office so for information commanded its contribution to building a positive image of russia. in this presentation of the suffering and courage of the russians will shown that the strength of russia lies in its people who are willing to give their lives to keep their countrymen from fascist slavery and to ensure

a free world football man. none the less the authors did ask hollywood to make a few edits to the script 1st to emphasize that the ideologies of the u.s.s.r. and germany were completely different and this is why the conflict broke out and secondly to show through the young characteristics that the u.s. and russia can work together when peace comes. it was not an accurate portrayal. of the imagination however they did follow the day of washington and. propaganda of the propaganda film including the major hollywood of the time. another pro soviet film released by hollywood during the worry years cold days of glory tells the story of a detachment of soviet partisans the group's leader was played by biting hollywood actor gregory peck.

gregory pack was the brad pitt of the 19 fifties and sixties he starred alongside audrey abercorn in roman holidays in 153 and in 1962 pack won an oscar for his performance as atticus finch in the adaptation of the cult american novel ought to kill a mockingbird but the sex symbol and alias star was still an unknown actor back in the $940.00 s. he's debut role than hollywood was as a solvent partisan later named lattimer or a surrogate you. thank you now some problems. west new diminished of gold if that are met over and leave then it would be less need not sell a syria. but also its. young warrior part not. we had to change american thinking about the soviets and we did so successfully it

wasn't only hollywood that participated in the campaign to improve the soviet union image leading newspapers and magazines were also involved here for example is what the american media wrote about lattimer lenin in those years well you know doesn't buy chortle to the greatest more the times. somebody merely lists you on the spot still sort of media or the flu g a book timely in you can be too many lost to sit but instead it will be a global there. soon to me alone. new york times and that was the sentiment during the war that the soviets were brave her roic and resisting the nazis and so it downplayed the crimes of stalin and the repressive aspects in all of american writing or propaganda during the war including in the hollywood films that's going to change of course after the war once the cold war begins with the onset of the cold war the task became more difficult now they needed to find

a way to explain to americans that our soviet friends were friends no more and in fact they were now animists they also have to imply that some of the things that have been shown about them previously were not entirely true. that. the industry prefers to millions of you know the. regulations will be seen this is all about making money making profits in some of the big corporations international market. it's important support do you imagine the number of chronic diseases that are in every community today it is not due to new viruses or all new microbes that is not true so it is due to environment less will see the not going to say you know that moment or disability or this sort of muscles are really b.s.

to cuba it could only come in to be seen in the to be on the list that i love to play the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more clothes so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into street outside that we are british and we want regulation on his industry and if we don't behave and zinnias penalty that's fine. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point of view screen is to trace trusts ever other than sheer. conflict on various chozen with artificial intelligence will something to do.

for the robot must protect its own existence as comics just. will. not. order. he was the 1st soviet filmmaker to leave for hollywood before the collapse of the u.s.s.r. . 989. comedies starring sylvester stallone. tango

and cash by that time he'd already realized that hollywood wasn't the place he'd originally imagined it. was more. rigorous than. thinking. ledger could drop in. but i'm sure we're going. you know. where to refer to some brigadiers humor own group

ready ready. despite making a serious of successful films in the us including tango and cash runaway train and maria's lovers and reckon she lost his savvy to return to russia in the early nineties as he already become entirely disenchanted with american film industry. who are. a lot. more. hollywood was so successful in portraying the savita union in a positive light during world war 2 that the new u.s. president harry truman began to quickly regret it after the nazi surrender. of the quintiles it was that i know it was good though it will be didn't live only

to discover that old as well as you look at those who. nurtured it in particular which made the serious good of you prestigious she were all in him only knew how to do that you can live here as if you were the real deal because it was just good to you if you could too little admit it go save it go to the issues of pollution those of the middle of the. 19th thirties the communist party in the united states is pretty strong. and i say that is a good thing your critical in fighting early 5 years for civil rights in the united states hollywood has attracted all these creative artists writers directors producers actors and actresses and intellectual. those were the ones who are most attracted to the communist ideal and they wanted to see the soviet union is representing something better than the sword and materialism of american capitalism so in 947 the house un-american activities committee or down on

hollywood it was this committee that introduced this so-called how the would blacklist which included people should be excluded from working in the us film industry due to their alleged political convictions. the u.s. government had to affirmatively go after leftists in hollywood and destroy their careers and make them testify in congress put people in jail drive people in don employment sometimes into suicide sony. c.d.'s hollywood back on board on the anti soviet train. among those given testimony to the house un-american activities committee or to put it simply ratting out their colleagues was an actor named ronald reagan the future u.s. president was already actively participating in civic life even in those days. the

north star a film about soviet collective farmers that was hailed by the academy just a couple of years earlier was now deemed adamy propaganda and it screenplay writer lillian hellman was accused of being a communist sympathizer and damning label in those years suddenly all of those film the propaganda films that were made during world war 2 well brought into question and hollywood got scared and. the north star was eventually released under the name armored attack in the new version the title comrade was removed and the ration comparing the nazis to the soviet soldiers who suppressed the hunger in uprising in 1956 was at it. how what is considered to be an independent private sector of economy a group of private companies and yet it seems like the government finds ways to

influence the movie make an industry and i just can wrap my head around how they actually pulled this off by these publicity trials as show trials stalin understood how to do that hitler understood how to do that well the united states under truman and eisenhower also understood added to that. and drained and intimidated hollywood begins to promote an entirely different image of the soviet union let's be honest have we anything like it in russia no can you imagine what the brits would be due to like that. a film that pokes fun at the behavior of soviet very cross abroad was shot in 1939 but it turned out to be most useful with the onset of the cold war. oh my god. what the new national committee made it look actually just as

a love letter so that the government. somebody really does a little bit so that a little service will go totally. the americans actually distributed and promoted new niche and post war europe especially in italy where the communist party's position was strong there was never stated in the film that communism and the u.s.s.r. back it went without saying. milledge that i was not going to say it's got the most . serious good record of camillus it may be possible just words which were delicious then little bitty doug syrup ship but just to every ship who's. going is just going out and. we have the high ideals but have the climate. the hollywood began producing state of. anti-communist

films during this time with the same propaganda averages nobody ever is idealistic about anything the women. are they were 'd beautiful as they were beautiful they were nymphomaniacs now my students find them laughable but at the time they were taken seriously movies like i was i mean as for the. i married a communist i read moscow guilty of treason the red menace this was a terrible time in america in 954 the united states and great britain released an animated film called animal farm just based on a novel of the same name by george orwell its production was sponsored by the cia which was very interested in the anti soviet subtext of the story which is about a farm and the big 3 seized power there.

but by the sixty's and seventy's relations between the us and the new with the star had already reached the point of the time and this was immediately reflected in the hollywood pictures the soviet union was still in the present and as a friend of the united states but he wasn't presented as an enemy so it was more like the united states than the soviet union could cooperate against the bad guys look at the james bond movies that's a classic all the drama where there would always be a russian agent who would be to whom. and the cia people would be where even the visions of him that blew it cooperate against the real enemy. the fact that relations between the countries began to deteriorate again in the eighty's after ronald reagan who had been actively anti communist even when he was

a hollywood actor became president of. united states even legendary movie boxer rocky billboard played by sylvester stallone entered the fray by taking on the daunting doped up soviet fighter ivan drago and they. follow the capital with capital mobility that are both it's seen that on the test with. someone with a boy who said i'm a from a from the left on i'm the 2nd beagle said it's to say this because there's been no people just. not because there was still to come there's the mysterious. you put your parents in the border was widely followed the policies of the state department the pentagon well they got a lot of money from the state department in the pentagon the best they found the pentagon to have a lot of say in in works of hollywood ya know so somewhere drew scrooge i'm sure. i mean years ago i do.

in fact go in with your desired should you. should die or should. come sort of here is very emotional issues you're not bored you. meet the parents was the stiller funny movie love it right. so you find out that deniro was a cia operative at one point ben stiller goes into his layer in the basement and he sees photos of deniro with clinton with what looks like maybe a bent a lot in type figure a originally stiller found a cia torture me and you on deniro suggests this cia itself reviewed the script and said then and then. you're not going to bring up cia torture do they watch

every single movie that is about to be produced in our wood in any film that has any military hardware in it an obvious example top gun you got it asked for permission you don't just walk on to the air force base and start flying jets around. so if you get their permission. they get the right. to look at what you're saying about. the officer for information which was responsible for propaganda during world war 2 was officially closed in 1945 but the relationship that developed between al the wood and the us government in those years seems to have grown only stronger a since staff and different times american rulers have needed different myths including some the directly contradicted earlier ones as in the case of russia 'd but no matter how difficult the order this factory has always do deflate delivered

. hollywood had always been afraid of government censorship so what they did was that they censored themselves. in the fiction. you know what is the worst. i'm not a conspiracy. it wasn't created for propaganda purposes but hollywood certainly is now a real propaganda force in the world probably the greatest propaganda force that server exists.

thanks. max keiser financial survival guide stacey let's learn about fill out let's say i'm not sure i get any or at least on greece of the fight well street spot thank you for something. on the story that's right if you looked at slavery. afghan translators suv work shoulder to shoulder with western forces in afghanistan the 5th of their lives says the plan dates that if u.s. and nato troops fold the war torn country leaves them vulnerable to taliban retribution we hear from a force to protect from the british army. they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma on fear every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next they didn't so the situation is very risky for it up in the us in afghanistan
