In a thread discussing this film someone posted a link to this parody to Holliwood view of Russia:

Okay, so I haven't seen SALT yet either and I wasn't planning on it... maybe I should though.

This whole "Hollywood" image of Russia and Russians goes back to why I joined this forum... I want Dmitri to be REAL not some joke of a Russian. My girls and I have learned soooooooo much already that their views have been irrefutably altered. No matter what they will be taught in school or see in films now, they will always question it. They have "met" all of you and know you. You are like their own Russian family. You each have a personality and view points that have helped them (and me) obtain a better understanding of what things are like and view points that they would never have been able to otherwise get. Oh my... look at me getting all mushy and philosophical here at the same time!
