It was a Russian director who made the film. He claimed he wanted to show the Cold war from the "Soviet" side of things. Apparently, he'd seen one too many films during the 1980s where the Soviets invaded America and were fought off by the true American patriots.
Apparently, he had had enough.
So, the director had another idea, this time it was going to be Americans who were invading the Soviet Union. "An alternate version ending to the Cold War", he had said.
He wanted to see the loyal Soviets defending the Motherland from evil American intruders that wanted to take everything that was good and decent from the Soviet people.
Of course, like any film with a new idea, it created "controversy". Critics argued that it would offend the post Cold War generation, others thought that it would give a different perspective to the conflict. Either way, no one was prepared for who the main villain was going to be.
Alfred F. Jones liked challenges, he liked challenges because when he beat through them (which he always did), they made him feel good about himself. Hiking Mt. McKinley had been a challenge, beating Canada in a hockey game had been a challenge (it had only happened once though), and now he was taking a new one:
Staring in a flick about Americans invading the Soviet Union. A longstanding grudge against Russia, had made more than easy to accept the offer when the director of the film had approached him to play the part. Of course, how could a hero refuse such an awesome offer.
I was working on a mini-oneshot (but have been unable to put it up) and I was hoping someone else would fill this with a more wonderful story...annnnd when I saw this I squealed X3 yay! Im bookmarking this its very original and I loled that America didn't even know what part he'd get I hope we can see some of his movie scenes (he scares the director in mineXD)
"Uh... Mr. Director, what type of part am I playing exactly?"
The director slapped one very inquisitive American on the back, "Why Alfie boy, has your curiosity gotten the better you already? Well... why don't you go over to make-up and get your star-quality looks in tip-top shape, then I'll explain it to you after?"
The easiest way, the Russian director figured to get rid of an annoying American was to stroke his ego.
America flashed his sure-to-be Oscar winning smile at the director, "Sure thing!" And dashed off towards the make-up trailer.
Oh, what a surprise, it worked.
The director glanced at the script in front of him; scanning over what were the American's lines. Mr. Jones was supposed to be playing Lt. Tony Whitticker, a man with a very decorated war veteran from Vietnam, known for his distaste of anything Anti-American especially "commies". When the director had conceptualized the idea for the film in his head, the thought that Whitticker had had a lot of fun in Vietnam crossed his mind frequently.
What he had fun doing was to be left up to be left up to the discretion of the viewers.
Meanwhile, America was enjoying the star quality treatment (not that he didn't already but, you know, some things never get old). The pretty make-up artist kept tickling his nose with that brush thingy. While Alfred would never admit to having his make-up done, he figured that if he could better than he did already, what the hell?
"So vhat duhes Amerika think of heez nu roul, hmm?"
America opened his eyes to see none other than Russia in the mirror behind one very nervous looking make-up artist.
"How the hell did you get in here!?" Great! Now his star-quality treatment was gonna be ruined...
I tried keyboard-smashing my way through the beginnings of a comment, then decided to try actual words to convey my excitement. ... When that failed, I realized this was the only way: ♥♥♥♥♥
I kind of nearly lost it when Russia appeared, because I couldn't help but wonder if he was going to get progressively more horrified as filming when on, or if he was going to be the only nation totally copacetic with the idea of villain!America. Either way would kind of have it's charm, strangely enough. XD I do hope gleeful anticipation can't kill you, or I may be in trouble here! >:D
I also sort of hope America gets really into the role and enjoys himself during filming, but I'll die of amusement if, when the film finally airs, his reaction to every other nation's horror/discomfort is just a simple: "And see, that's why you should be glad I'm the hero! :DDD" My mental pictures of the realizations of the ramifications of that on various nations' faces are just hilarious. XDDDD
"Aha, Amerika eez soh funny!" Russia giggled a little bit.
America wondered how an innocent and child-like demeanor could make a grown man so god damn creepy. He also wondered how the hell Russia had managed to get onto set.
Wait, wasn't the director Russian? Oh great! Now there was probably some Russian conspiracy going on. In fact, the KGB were probably coming to get him at this very moment! Well, that bastard, even after he was gracious enough to let Russia's spies get off scot-free!
"Look Russia, my CIA can totally beat your KGB so don't even think about it!"
Russia just giggled again.
"Vhat silly konklujzons yoh jump tu~ Noh, ve arr goeeng to play a game, yes?"
America wasn't intimidated by Russia. Okay, so he knew (had been told... on multiple occasions) it was in his and his country's best interests not to make the Russian angry. However... he was the HERO and there was no way he was going to back down from the freaky commie! It was a CHALLENGE after all!
He swing his "spinny" (he had named it) chair around to face Russia, "Okay, what game then?" At this, Russia merely smiled and fished out a package of... what looked like... flash cards from his coat pocket (America was sure he had caught a glimpse of a heart too).
America snorted, "What? You want to see if I know my multiplication table?"
For this America earned a "friendly" pat on the back, that had a little more force behind it than necessary.
"Hehehe~ Noh, silly, ve play vord association game."
[Author!Anon wishes to thank all the people who have either read and/or commented on the fill so far. I should warn that this may turn out longer than what OP originally intended. Questions/Suggestions are always welcome.]
First off, let me tell you that the idea of a reverse Cold War movie sounds EPIC and that I'm very much looking forward to the actual shooting. Especially if America doesn't realize that he's the villain 'til after they start shooting and reads the script through.
But, I have a tiny little complaint here: Russia's accent. I know your trying to go for the thick Russian accent, but portraying that in writing can get a little tedious to read. More than once I found myself trying to sound out the words instead of just reading it through ("konklujzons"?); it breaks up the flow of the story. I think that with just establishing that America hears him speaking with an accent, but then typing "normal" English can do the job. I don't know if I can handle a whole fill with Russia (and the other Russian actors?) speking like ziz all the vay through, da?
You're probably right! I'll change it back to normal English... I've read too many good fanfics where the author does do a good job with it, however, seeing as I don't have a very good grasp of what a Russian accent should sound like, I think I'll stick to good old English. Anyways, thanks for the heads up, constructive criticism makes my life a whole lot easier.
Furthermore, for America... I often find myself thinking that America's "justice" is what will make him the ultimate villain. You just have to ask yourself how far he's willing to go for it.
"Aha, Amerika is so funny!" Russia giggled a little bit.
America wondered how an innocent and child-like demeanor could make a grown man so god damn creepy. He also wondered how the hell Russia had managed to get onto set.

"Hehehe~ No, silly, we play word association game."
I'm not the anon who commented above, but I just read both and really do think the revision made this better, fyi. :Db
And, uh, this word association sounds interesting already. Although I'm afraid it's going to tell me all sorts of things I never wanted to know about my nation, yeah? :'D
"Uh... Mr. Director, what type of part am I playing exactly?"

"So what does Amerika think of his new role, hmm~?"
America opened his eyes to see none other than Russia in the mirror behind one very nervous looking make-up artist.
"How the hell did you get in here!?" Great! Now his star-quality treatment was gonna be ruined...
Russia held up a card to America's face, in it was what looked like a group of smiling women, all hard at work harvesting some time of grain. Then, above it, was a phrase in big, bold, and RED (the color of the commies America thought) but it wasn't in English so America didn't particularly care what it said.
"Say a word or a phrase that this pictures reminds you of, yes~?"
Immediately, America responded, "Forced labour."
Russia set the card down on the make-up dresser and held up yet another card, this time of a group of smiling children, all looking healthy and well-fed. Rows of hospital-like beds lining each wall, no items or personal things to make the place feel more like home. It felt... sterile.
However, what caught America's attention the most was the smiles on the children's faces.
"Forced smiling."
Oh god, could Russia's face have get any creepier?
Over the next half hour, Russia continued to show America various illustrations, paintings, and photographs on the little cards. America, despite being deeply confused (he had expected the game to be something more violent) responded with the same vigor each time. Finally, they came down to the last two cards. Russia held one up in each hand, a flag from Nazi Germany in one hand and the flag of the Soviet Union in another.
"Now, Amerika, which one do you hate more?"
Instantly, America's finger pointed to the card that had the Soviet flag on it. The small star above the hammer and sickle awash in a background red. Everything about that flag reminded America what he hated the most. Communism, Marxism, Leninism, Socialism... evil in it's purest form.
I can't wait to see the actual shooting, anon! <3 And Russia's reaction to it, even it's just more creepy smiling and he's not creeped out by America's acting or anything. XDDD
Just some stuff that might make it a little easier to understand:
Firstly, Russia is showing America Soviet propaganda. The first picture was that of some women working at kolhoz. Aha, the second was some children taken from the Gulag and sent off to an orphanage... the sad thing is they'll probably all end up dead.
The ideology behind Soviet propaganda at the time was not to reflect the reality of the situation but rather just to show as many Russians would put it: "Communism with a smiling face".
America was never really aware of the true state of the Soviet Union and what terrible conditions the people had to suffer through... (more people died going through the Gulag system than they did in the Holocaust) however, America hates anything Communist, hence, why I think he'd make such a damn good villain.
Oh boy, this sounds fun! Alfred probably would get an Oscar because playing the villain in Cold War movies is TOTAL Oscar bait like...autistic teenage transexual pregnant cancer patients who lost someone in the Holocaust...based on a true story.
After Russia had left the trailer, America promptly returned to the task of beautifying himself (He had taken make-up classes, okay!?). Once he felt that his movie-star good looks could be enhanced no further, he slipped on his bomber jacket and strolled out the door over to set.
----
The director had already started filming some preliminary scenes with the other actors. The filming so far had consisted of terrified Soviet citizens fleeing the merciless onslaught of the American army.
A group of very bloodied and disfigured people strolled by America, chatting happily away in Russian, obviously they had just come from filming America figured. Still... it was kind of freaky to see how good some of these special effects make-up artists were.
The director spotted Alfred first and gestured him over with a big, friendly wave of the arm. The way heroes should be treated, Alfred thought.
"So, what are we filming today, dude?" America said, jogging up to beside the director's chair.
"Well, Alfie boy, we're gonna start with a confrontation between you and a KGB officer whose harming innocent American soldiers! You gotta put a stop to it!"
What the director failed to mention was that the only reason the KGB officer was harming "innocent" American soldiers was because they had threatened to kill his family.
Of course, Alfred didn't need to know that.
-----
Filming for the scene had started.
America strode into the house, arms wide open, a sick grin on his face and demented gleam in his eye.
"I've been hearing that you been harmin' my men, boy."
The KGB officer screamed in Russian... America wasn't supposed to understand what he was saying.
"Your men raped my wife... and broke the legs of my children!"
America grabbed the man by the hair and smiled at him, "Damn... it's too darn bad you don't speak English, otherwise, I would've been able to tell you what a little fucker I think you are."
He throw the man against the wall and took "fired" several rounds on him.
oh america why why!? Read the damn script *facepalms* pffft demented nice one you don't even have to know whats it about to be scary...thats even scaries ;A;
Russia sat off to the side, watching as Alfred continued filming the scenes that as America had eloquently put it, "Beating off those damn Soviet bastards who were endangering the 'boys from back home'" Russia, in fact, had been the one to recommend America for the position in the film.
Russia made it a point to get to know some of the prominent Russian-Americans in the United States. It was certainly a good method to gain some influence over what the stupid Americans were saying about the Motherland now. He had met the Russian director at a dinner party held by the United Russian-American Association (it should be clarified that Ivan absolutely detested this name choice). They had gotten to talking, the directors was more than happy to talk about his cinematic exploits while Russia listened half-heartedly... until... they had come to the subject of the Cold War, which at some point or other when discussing Russia and America together (it was either that or the purchase of Alaska).
The director had expressed his interest in making a movie where Americans actually invade the Soviet Union, in retaliation to several of the American-made films where it was opposite. At that point in the conversation, the director had resorted the banging his knife on the table to express his anger. Russia was both warmed and amused by the man's love of the Motherland. It was rare to find that outside of the Russian Federation anymore especially in a place like a America...
What had really caught Russia's attention was when the director started getting a little intoxicated (with Vodka of course) and complained about his inability to find someone to cast as the villain in his movie. He needed someone "with devilishly good-looks who seems to only care seeing that an American brand of justice is enforced."
Well... didn't Russia know the perfect person for that role.
Hence, America beating up all the KGB officers, while irked Russia to no end (his men weren't THAT weak). The deal that he and the director had made would make it all worth in the end...
Dude, you know you're officially a history nerd when the Russian director banging his knife on the table reminds you of Khrushchev banging his shoe on his desk at UN General Assembly. I fail so hard. OTL
And something tells me this suspicious deal between Russia and the director will end up very interesting! ;D
Dude, you update fast and often. :Db
P.S. Help, I keep using the word "dude" and I can't stop! D:

(Anonymous) 2010-08-24 03:18 am (UTC)(link)I guess Russia would not be surprised by America's acting.
Note: Make America's role act charming or silly, it makes the villainy much more horrifying

The director had already started filming some preliminary scenes with the other actors. The filming so far had consisted of terrified Soviet citizens fleeing the merciless onslaught of the American army.
A group of very bloodied and disfigured people strolled by America, chatting happily away in Russian, obviously they had just come from filming America figured. Still... it was kind of freaky to see how good some of these special effects make-up artists were.
The director spotted Alfred first and gestured him over with a big, friendly wave of the arm. The way heroes should be treated, Alfred thought.
"So, what are we filming today, dude?" America said, jogging up to beside the director's chair.
"Well, Alfie boy, we're gonna start with a confrontation between you and a KGB officer whose harming innocent American soldiers! You gotta put a stop to it!"
What the director failed to mention was that the only reason the KGB officer was harming "innocent" American soldiers was because they had threatened to kill his family.
Of course, Alfred didn't need to know that.
-----
Filming for the scene had started.
America strode into the house, arms wide open, a sick grin on his face and demented gleam in his eye.
"I've been hearing that you been harmin' my men, boy."
The KGB officer screamed in Russian... America wasn't supposed to understand what he was saying.
"Your men raped my wife... and broke the legs of my children!"
America grabbed the man by the hair and smiled at him, "Damn... it's too darn bad you don't speak English, otherwise, I would've been able to tell you what a little fucker I think you are."
He throw the man against the wall and took "fired" several rounds on him.
In America's mind justice had been done.
[Aha... language barriers.]

(Anonymous) 2010-08-24 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)who were endangering the 'boys from back home'" Russia, in fact, had been the one to recommend America for the position in the film.
Russia made it a point to get to know some of the prominent Russian-Americans in the United States. It was certainly a good method to gain some influence over what the stupid Americans were saying about the Motherland now. He had met the Russian director at a dinner party held by the United Russian-American Association (it should be clarified that Ivan absolutely detested this name choice). They had gotten to talking, the directors was more than happy to talk about his cinematic exploits while Russia listened half-heartedly... until... they had come to the subject of the Cold War, which at some point or other when discussing Russia and America together (it was either that or the purchase of Alaska).
The director had expressed his interest in making a movie where Americans actually invade the Soviet Union, in retaliation to several of the American-made films where it was opposite. At that point in the conversation, the director had resorted the banging his knife on the table to express his anger. Russia was both warmed and amused by the man's love of the Motherland. It was rare to find that outside of the Russian Federation anymore especially in a place like a America...
What had really caught Russia's attention was when the director started getting a little intoxicated (with Vodka of course) and complained about his inability to find someone to cast as the villain in his movie. He needed someone "with devilishly good-looks who seems to only care seeing that an American brand of justice is enforced."
Well... didn't Russia know the perfect person for that role.
Hence, America beating up all the KGB officers, while irked Russia to no end (his men weren't THAT weak). The deal that he and the director had made would make it all worth in the end...
