Adaptation is one of my favorite movies of all time. Absolute tour de force performances by all three leads.
Nic Cage, Nic Cage, and Meryl Streep were indeed great, but the movie also had an incredible supporting cast, Brian Cox as McKee was my favorite. (Perfect ending due to Brian Cox's great acting too.)
Charlie Kaufman's films are always interesting, I think this is my second favorite next to Eternal Sunshine.
That might be true, but at least they would have been starving to death and fighting with pitchforks/sickles while having a healthy respect for civilian life unlike the west. It's like the line from Prigozhin's film: "Americans say they fight for democracy, but Russians fight FOR JUSTICE"

Dude. Chris Cooper won an Oscar for that movie. Probably my favorite role of his ever. The whole film is brilliant and perfect in every way.
I still quote the “**** fish” line when appropriate
Oh were your 3 leads Nic Cage, Nic Cage and Cooper? That works too, he was incredible.
It's really a great cast and a perfect script. My friend and I used to have an inside joke about "The Three".

Where's that from?
Also, nobody mentioned Lord Of War yet, that's pretty good. And he plays a Russian.

The "similar view Glantz is offering" is to this view:
In a confidential interview with the wartime correspondent Konstantin Simonov, the Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov is quoted as saying:
Today [1963] some say the Allies didn't really help us ... But listen, one cannot deny that the Americans shipped over to us material without which we could not have equipped our armies held in reserve or been able to continue the war.
lol, victor you truly have no shame
literally skipped the opinions of a soviet historian, nikita himself, and zhukov (the man running the war) who all said they would have lost otherwise and then found the one random american who wasn't alive during the war who thinks it was a nothingburger
finding a single scholar who says it merely sped things up by 2 years is not the deboonkery you believe it is
this is literally no different from arguing the world is flat because you found a lone geologist who agrees that it is
I am not going to be able to reprogram what you have been led to believe since birth and have never once reconsidered in any way on an internet forum.

"The Soviet archives" sounds like a totally unimpeachable and unbiased source of factual information, guess that's settled then.
