[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 5119942, member: 78949"]Midnight Express was shown also in BG - to show us how the "dirty capitalists" in Turkey behave towards the "dirty capitalists" from USA. So that we know how safe we are in our "socialist heaven" :). Although I am pretty sure the same happened in our prison, too. wiki says Brad Davis, died in 1991 [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Davis_(actor)[/URL] Guys, you make me feel almost like you :), I thought it was only in the communist world. Turns out that things were not so different in the West regarding uniforms and short skirts, and haircuts. Well, not counting Libya, I had a friend living there who had told me things about it. Hippies were shown on the news and in films here only as drug addicts and unhappy outcasts to prove the terrible social conditions in the capitalist world.

B.t.w., the film Hair was also shown here with the same propaganda purpose but the effect was that we fell in love with the soundtrack :) So USSR like us was making the most of hard currency holders :) I guess this was the reason to allow Hippies in the communist world - Hippies or not, they all pay in dollars.[/QUOTE]
