USA won the gold that year |
i know. however, the way americans portray it is quite funny. soviet union didn't have professional sports - period. everyone was considered an amateur and had a "normal" job apart from sports - including the olympic hockey team. unlike nhl players, our players did not receive jaw-dropping salaries, could not afford cars, yachts and mansions, were not privileged in our society as "stars", did not pose on the covers of "time", etc., etc. the only thing that they had was the love and moral support of people - and on the team level, not individually. meaning, that any player who got out of shape was immediately replaced and forgotten - however big the past accomplishments were (unlike, say, michael jordan or mario lemieux or wayne gretzky, etc etc). so it is all the more surprising to see so much pride in such a victory. if you had good players (at least on par with ours in skill), under the aforementioned conditions you should win 10-0.

Movies people have seen 
Fight Club, when the camera is panning around The Narrator's apartment and all the Ikea furniture pops into existence.
Donnie Darko, during the montage with Head over Heels playing in the background.
Croutching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where Jen kicks ass at the tavern
The Matrix, the opening scene where Trinity kicks ass
Dune, where The Navigator asks about the Emperor's secret plans
Ghost World, where Steve gets pissed at the kid with the flashing light shoes
and in movies people haven't seen
The final seen from Father and Son, right at the end when the father is sitting out on the roof in the snow.
Love Liza, right after where Wilson has just been picked up by Denny and Wilson says he's forgot something and has to go back into the house, the part where you see him at the sink.
The opening scene from You me and Everyone we know, (I know i'm the only person whose seen it, and i'm okay with that ) where Christine is talking into the tape recorder.
I could go on...
My least favourite scene. The Princess Bride, when they turn it up to 50
