An explosion in anti-Russia propaganda
I hardly see a new American film these days without a carefully inserted scene attacking Russia in some one, no matter what the subject of the movie. Poland is a slave state to the USA (witness Poland's 100% support of American terror in Ukraine, for instance).
Sure, there are many stories (true) about Russian wartime atrocities- but there are just as many about atrocities carried out by British or American forces that NEVER become the subject of movies. The fire-bombing of CIVILIAN centres of major cities by the allies was the GREATEST war crime of WW2 (far worse than the Nazi death camps), but the victors of a war always forgive their own crimes.
My point is that the 'truth' of a film like 'the innocents' matters not when the REASON for making the movie is pure propaganda.
American troops carried out mass rape in Iraq, for instance, during the illegal invasion of that nation by Bush and Blair. Hell will freeze over before anyone makes a film about those atrocities, however. The West murdering TWO MILLION Humans in Iraq (over FAKE 'WMD' claims) isn't even worth a thought, according to those that try to convince you their raking over the ashes of WW2 is done for 'honest' reasons.
Russian bashing reached a peak at the recent Olympics, when British MI6 operatives completed their project to demonise Russian sports-people. Weeks later, we discovered that British MI5 operatives provided doctors to all leadeing British atheletes who willingly provided the SAME illegal performance enhancing drugs- with the EXCUSE that every British athelete is so 'ill', they need such drugs to merely survive.
The SAME people who lap up propaganda like 'The Innocents' cheer the 'victory' of the DRUG CHEATS of the USA and UK. The old tribal NONSENSE that OUR CRIMES are just fine and dandy, but the 'crimes' of the 'others' marks the 'others' as 'sub-Human'.
