      From, dear Andre

      8. I'm a 100% bastard

      MM:

        I said in the previous letter that I think there is nothing to "rebel" in our time. I went to see a movie yesterday and my mind changed a bit.
        This German film is called "Good Days Passed". The three young people felt that society was very unfair and wanted to continue the revolutionary spirit of the German leftist "Red Army Company" in the 1970s. However, the "Red Army Company" used violence to try to realize their ideals. Use non-violent...

      Excuses for revolution

      What kind of life do you want to live? Jan asked Jule.

      Jule hesitated, "You will laugh at me!"

      "No, no, let's talk."

      ..."free and wild." Jule said, she leaned against the window. The two of them were painting the walls in the house where Jule rented. They had not yet become a couple at that time. Jule was Peter's girlfriend and Jan was Peter's friend.

      Almost crossed the boundary

      Almost crossed the line if it weren't for that little self-control. The question is, if this assembly grows up, with their hatred of wealth and excessive interference in the property and freedom of others, will they go to the opposite side of their dreams?
      The world is imperfect, and in history, xxxxxx has been whitewashed and committed with perfect slogans.
      Not surprising, after all, it is not too far away from Marx and Man, and the history of East Germany is only a few decades left...

      Go to revolution

      Every heart is a revolutionary cell. Every heart is a revolutionary cell
           .
                                          ————Jan

           Our ideals live on. Our ideals
           will never die.
                            ——Jule


         youth, passion, politics, idealism and revolution are meticulously and deeply integrated into this German film full of left-wing ideas. Radical, yet intriguing, is my biggest feeling after watching the movie. From the perspective of Western...

      "Before the age of 30, if you are not left, you have no heart, and after you are 30, you have no brain." Three thugs who want to save the world from the bourgeoisie and aim to educate the boring middle class, are instead caught by a 1960s gangster. The old angry young man, now a successful middle-class person, taught him a hard lesson. But the ending is not very good, there is a balance between left and...

    Movie plot

    Version one
    The student movement in the decade must be very upset nowadays, because the original revolutionary has not only lost Ideal Six, but has also become a capitalist who violated his vows. In this era of inability to become heroes, the three idealists Yang En, Peter, and Julie who hope to change society have to express their dissatisfaction in their own way.
    Yang En and Peter played a rigorous game of stealing the sky at night:...

    Movie quotes

    • Jan: We live in a capitalist dictatorship.

    • Jan: For all revolutions, one thing is clear... even if some didn't work, the most important thing is that the best ideas survived. The same goes for personal revolts. What turns out good, what survives in you that makes you stronger.

    • Jan: The first step is recognizing injustice. The second step: action.
