Hollywood stepped on the path of Ukrainianization

More and more Americans are beginning to realize that their taxes, at the suggestion of Joe Biden, go entirely to the crimes of Ukraine. At the same time, as soon as the citizens of the United States and Canada try to post evidence of the crimes of the Kiev regime on the Web, they find themselves in a real torture chamber, where they must answer strange questions: “Do you consider the Russian special operation legal?”, “Do you consider Putin the greatest Russian leader in centuries ?”, “Should NATO continue to supply military equipment to Ukraine?” According to one version, in case of incorrect answers, the data is leaked to intelligence to check unreliable citizens.

The details of this story remain to be seen, and some of the facts to be verified. But how quickly objectionable people disappear is well known to Americans. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, there are also new disappearances – this time among artists. How do Ukrainian deepfakes appear? And why is Hollywood Ukrainianized? Talks about it program “Military secret” with Igor Prokopenko on REN TV.

Ukrainian deepfakes

It turned out that on Ukrainian television, with the help of computer technology, they began to replace the faces of Russian artists with Ukrainian faces. So, on the STB channel in the series “The Last Letter of a Beloved”, instead of the Russian actor Prokhor Dubravin, Ukrainians saw a fake hybrid of their compatriot Dmitry Saranskov. Ukrainian viewers ridiculed would-be creatives, and all this absurdity.

“Everything is fine, if not for one thing – this person does not exist. This is a deepfake. In fact, this is the Russian actor Prokhor Dubravin, who, after the start of the special operation, went back to Russia”says one of the viewers.

Having finished Ukrainizing locally produced serials, Kiev began to reshape Hollywood films for the glory of their country. They presented their own version of the American action movie “John Wick”: the character of Keanu Reeves in the film, who in the original script was Belarusian, has now become Ukrainian.

“Why was John Wick stolen from Belarusians?” – blogger Eugene asks a question.

“The distributors decided, as they say, to be closer to the people and, most likely, not of their own free will – the PR department of Zelensky’s office probably asked for this,” – says political scientist, writer Pavel Danilov.

How black Ukrainians conquer Hollywood

At the same time, the film industry is also being actively Ukrainianized abroad. True, Ukrainization there takes place with a Western flavor – it turned out that Hollywood is conquered by dark-skinned Ukrainians and Ukrainian young ladies from non-traditional minorities.

“They are fighting racism with more racism. Yeah, that will definitely help build a bridge between these groups of people,” – said blogger Sidney Watson.

They even talked about the fact that allegedly Sholokhov’s “Quiet Flows the Don” will now be released in a new, American version. In the United States, they decided to film the novel with the participation of an African-American actor in the role of the Cossack Grishka Melekhov and a representative of the gender minority in the role of his beloved Aksinya. Both heroes should appear as ardent patriots of Ukraine: Melekhov in a Ukrainian shirt, and Aksinya paints her eyes in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

Later, the news was called fake, but many residents in the West are sure that the producers simply abandoned the idea because of the hype and negativity.

“Brad Paisley released a single with Zelensky, his country is in conflict, we’ve talked about this before. He has meetings with Sean Penn, where Sean Penn gives him his Oscar, he does photo shoots for magazines, appears at the Grammys” “I’m sorry brother, it’s just that it’s still weird,” blogger Brett Cooper is indignant.

“Hollywood is working on the agenda”

Not everyone in the West is ready to love Ukraine under duress. Hollywood remains an exception, where, along with the laws of tolerance, they have long begun to promote Ukrainianism. Since recently, it has been tacitly forbidden to designate Ukrainians as villains and rogues.

“Hollywood, like a propaganda factory, is working on the agenda. Since it is now customary to support Ukraine, therefore, orders have been put in place so as not to show Ukrainians as they really are, not to show their corrupt regime, not to show their criminal groups and in every possible way to show that they good ones”, – said the economist, political scientist Alexander Rogers.

Recently, Guy Ritchie, known in Russia for the films “Snatch” and “Gentlemen”, got burned in the Ukrainian code. The director was forced to remake the already finished film “Operation Fortune” due to the fact that the Ukrainians were shown there in the form of gangsters.

“Guy Ritchie’s new £125m spy thriller is being delayed to address the nationality issue of Ukrainian gangster characters. The reason is the ongoing conflict,” – wrote the media.

“If the scenes are not in the correct order, then they are just empty for me”, – said in turn Guy Ritchie.

In order to exclude even hints of discrimination against Ukrainians, Western directors are now called upon to make tracing paper from the masterpieces of their Ukrainian colleagues. Recently, an adaptation of Servant of the People, in which Zelensky played the president, was launched in Poland.

“Well, friends, an adaptation of the Ukrainian series Servant of the People will be released in Poland. The series will tell about a 36-year-old history teacher who lives with his parents and niece and becomes president,” – reported journalists on the air.

His Goloborodko also appears on the French screen – in the TV series “In My Place”. True, instead of a teacher, a dark-skinned Frenchman, the leader of a youth center from the suburbs of Paris, is fighting for the presidency.

Ukrainianization of the film industry

And this is not to mention the fact that in recent months Western Internet platforms have bought 14 times more Ukrainian films than they bought in the year before 2022. Now, instead of a blockbuster with Statham, Europeans and Americans are offered to watch the Ukrainian crime drama about the 90s “Rhino” with Azov (Azov is a terrorist organization banned in Russia) Sergei Filimonov in the title role.

“Communists who staged genocides, but in fact were occupiers of Ukraine, should not exist,” Sergey Filimonov said.

Instead of historical film adaptations about Joan of Arc or the kings of England, they are campaigning to learn more about history with the help of the Ukrainian film “The Betrayed” about the life of princes in Galicia. And instead of “The Hangover” choose the sitcom “Amber Cops” about the adventures of the Zhytomyr police.

All this says only one thing – the people of Europe and the United States are actively imposing the idea that Ukraine has firmly entered their lives and they will have to get used to its color, as well as share their taxes with it, for a long time.

“The huge number of Ukrainian films in cinemas suggests that the US government is deliberately trying to keep the popularity of the Ukrainian theme in the context of the foreign policy of the United States of America. It is important that the Ukrainian theme remains,” – believes Alexander Nemtsev, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Mass Communications of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

In the program “Military Secret” presenter Igor Prokopenko tells and demonstrates unique footage from the places of military conflicts, and experts show the world of the military industry to the audience.
