Western stereotype about Russians in the film "Gifted", which they do not advertise - So that we are not proud

An interesting story is told about the brilliant girl Mary, brought up according to a certain method, who lives with her uncle Frank. He takes his baby to elementary school, where she demonstrates her math skills on the fly. And what does the Russians have to do with it? Wait, be patient!

The teacher gives the new student examples, increasing their complexity, until she asks to calculate how much 57 will be multiplied by 135, the girl pondered. The teacher smiles, nevertheless there was a tough nut to crack, but Mary gives the answer, the woman checks it over, that's right, incredible.

And now about the Russians

The fact is that the uncle wants his niece to have a normal childhood, but she has a grandmother who wants to send her granddaughter to a special school for gifted mathematicians.

Frank objects, he doesn't want her to spend her years with bearded Russian men!

Turns out that excellent mathematicians are synonymous with Russians, mathematics, not vodka, sandals and balalaika.

By the way, when I wanted to draw the attention of the eldest son to this moment, then in translation, there was no longer a word about the Russians. How does it feel had to look for a subtitle tape and make a translation, there: "With old Russian guys for the rest of my life."

In conclusion

When Americans, tried to make their stealth plane, they could not calculate his hull until found a book by a Russian mathematician for the 60th yearwhere these calculations have already been made. But that's a different story.
