    The Deer Hunter. It depicts the NVA of doing crimes the US actually did while they torture poor Yankee troops who never did anything wrong. Also what the fuck was that ending where they sing Amazing Grace out of nowhere?

    Bridge of Spies. They completely fabricated the conditions experienced by the Americans captured by the Soviets. IRL the guy who the movie is based on said his stay was actually pleasant as they gave him a nice room with good meals, despite the fact he was a fucking spy they had every right to execute.

    That one James Bond film where the North Korean officer puts someone in a punching bag to use as stuffing.

      Funny enough this sounds like exactly the sort of depraved shit a British colonial governor would do, to the point that I find myself wondering if this is in “every accusation a confession” territory

      Even in Bridge of Spies Abel gets sentenced to 30 years in prison down from a death penalty whereas Powers gets 10 years house arrest with 2 years in prison.
