Not just censorship, but looking at what happened with Tarkovsky, being exiled for simply not returning to the USSR. I know Hollywood did the same at the time regarding film 'guidelines', I'm just curious if there's more context to the USSR's rather strict attitude with film? Or is this just western propaganda I'm swallowing?
I totally forgot about that George Lucas quote. Yeah I can agree with the reasoning, I saw a post on here discussing 'soft power' and how America essentially has a monopoly on cultural soft power. Looking at just how subtle American ideals are injected into 'non-political' properties such as Marvel or Transformers, they were right on wanted to stem the flow of bourgeois influence.
