      "Young Marx" film review

      Young Marx is a biographical film commemorating the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth. The film tells about what happened to Marx between 1843 and 1848, restores the forced cessation of the "Rheinische Zeitung", the difficult process of the birth of "The Communist Manifesto", and depicts the moving friendship between Marx and Engels, as well as Marx and Yan The ideal love between Ni. By watching this movie, I felt the charisma of Marx's personality. Even though Marx was displaced and...

      Marx's true freedom seeker

      Marx is a real freedom seeker. In Marx's eyes, there is only freedom and equality in the world. Marx's life is a life of lofty ideals and unremitting struggle for the liberation of mankind; a life of bravely climbing the ideological peak in pursuit of truth without fear of difficulties and obstacles. Even though he was displaced, poor, and sick all his life, Marx remained unswerving in his original aspiration and unswerving determination, and worked tirelessly for the lofty ideal of human...

      Tribute to Marx

      The film "Young Marx" mainly tells the story of a young Marx who met Engels in Paris in 1844, became soulmates because of their common ideals and beliefs, and co-authored the "Communist Manifesto". The film's description of the two main characters, Marx and Engels, is very detailed, and the persistent thinking spirit of the characters is vividly and inspiring. And what impressed me most in the whole film, apart from Marx's persistent thinking spirit, was the classic dialogue between Marx and...

      young marx

      The opening of this film is very exciting. Those poor people are forced to make a living and go to the forest to pick up dead wood branches, which is defined as theft and hunted down as well as cutting down trees. In today's view, this is incomprehensible, but it just reflects the social status quo of exploitation and oppression at that time, and the people were miserable. At the same time, it also contradicts Proudhon's explanation later that theft is the stealing of other people's...

      after watching

      I watched this movie with the teacher's strong recommendation and was deeply moved. In Europe under the rule of absolute monarchy, famine was raging and social order was in chaos. Against such a background, two men of insight, Marx and Engels, stepped forward and made a series of actions to save society and save the world. struggle. The film is based on the process of Marx and Engels from their meeting until they finally founded the "Communist Manifesto" to promote the global socialist...

      On the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth today, I watched it the next day on Youth Day. It was my first time to lick a movie starring August Jun on the big screen! ! ! Gave me a glimpse into the life (and love) of Marx and Engels. August Jun speaks super soft and pleasant English, and switches between German, French and English fluently. I really like the little brother Stefan Konarske who looks like Jack Lowden! And Hannah Steele are the highlights! Bourgeoisie vs proletariat, proletarians of...

      Philosophers have only theory, and they want to go a step further by giving effective guidance to practice. Remember the arrogant year when Marx and Engels sympathized with each other and were young and...

      Biographies of thinkers are not easy to photograph. With such a complicated history, I want to say everything, but I can't explain everything. But from another point of view, it shows Mann's human nature as an ordinary young man, including his weaknesses, which can be said to be an attempt at disenchantment. Nearly two hundred years later, the worldwide labor movement has once again entered a low ebb. How is the progress of the era we live in? Contemporary Marxists still need to seriously...

    Evaluation action

    Many movies on the theme of revolution usually focus on portraying the fierce and bloody wars, hoping to let the audience intuitively feel the waves of the revolution visually. The proletarian revolution in "The Young Karl Marx" is based on the power of the "pen", without the impact of war pictures, but still allows the overthrow of the old world and the establishment of a new world on film   .
