Time for Hollywood to turn against Moscow, for good.
For too long, mainstream movies and series have shied away from taking a clear stand on the issue of an aggressive, dangerous and evil Russia.
In the past, Hollywood produced many movies that cinematically captured the geopolitical moment of their time. Anti-German ones amidst the carnage of World War II, anti-communist ones during the early phase of the Cold War.
It is time to wake up and realize that the post-Cold War treatment of Russia in Hollywood, portraying the country as a weak and bumbling - but nevertheless meaningful or cooperative nation is out of date.
It is time for Hollywood to step up and inform, educate, enlighten and sharpen a narrative around the struggle the West finds itself in today.
There‘s no room to take account of some viewers dovish or isolationist sensibilities, nor was there any in the 1940s or the 1950s and 60s.
