You mean the USA under Trump? Ha! Ha? Maybe not so ha…
Lexi, dear, I have some unfortunate spoilers to share…
Point being that Jack Ryan has good taste in seafood?
I’m all pills and needles.
Perhaps that isn’t Russia, and it’s a Russian run (Upsidedown) America (it would explain the train guage mentioned elsewehere in these comments)
The one at :31 is nowhere near the rail. A lot of “tells” in movies are from workers that have no clue how to do their task.
Also you wouldn’t set up as much in the way of fixed infrastructure (guard towers) around a prison work gang laying track. After a few days, they would be out of sight of the tower.
What kind of dog is that?
Like few other pop culture icons, Stranger Things has mirrored a seminal change in American sensitivities in the transition of baddies from season two to season three. Within one seasonal break, it went from a trope of distrust in US authorities to an even more implausible tale of a Russian garrison literally undermining America. And while the domestic villains were cold, reckless and misguided, the Russian villains are unthinking and exchangeable brutes commanded by a fascist psychopath, who is ultimately defeated by the deus ex machina of the US Army descending on the domestic disturbance to restore freedom and democracy. To me it feels like a throwback to a Cold War, and not even the Cold War of the eighties, but rather the Cold War of the fifties and sixties. It really marred season three for me.
I’m pretty sure that guy knows how to broom, but was told not to kick up dust onto the camera.
The other theory doing the rounds is that the sound of bristles on concrete was coming across too loudly on the audio. (I know nothing about film-making, still less about audio in film-making, but it sounds plausible.)
But whatever the reason, you’d think they’d just scrap the sweeping altogether rather than make the poor guy go through this farce.
Unless it’s a prison camp run on some sort of Sisyphus model.
Maybe they were just building a ride in a theme park. Stalingradland or Leninworld.
This is the fake 1980ies, not the fake 1950ies. Stalingrad was named Wolgograd in 1961.
I’d visit Leninworld though. The “revolutionary wave” ride is said to be quite spectacular, once you get through the queue.
The Caucasion Ovcharka is a livestock guardian breed that was used as a camp guard by the Soviet army. They’re larger and have a heavier coat than German Shepherds. And they’re probably much harder to find and train for a small part in a Netflix series than GSDs.
