"The Beacon and Red Flames of Love": The idealist's head is broken and blood is broken

I don’t know if the male protagonist in the film is an early “Snowden”. He once came to Russia with idealism and a romantic wife, trying to find an ideal political system to rescue capitalism, but he died in a foreign country at the age of 32. More than half a century later, another idealist, Snowden, fled the United States with all the secrets and found "freedom" in Russia. Where exactly is the goal that human beings pursue, in this three-hour, 31-award-winning film, we may see how thorny the idealist's hard road is. As for the ideal of human beings, such as drinking water, knowing whether it is hot or cold.

2016.05.21 A typical example of "no zuo no die", I feel that this idealist is like a sheep that falls into a pack of wolves in the tide of the revolution. People with ideals are strong, and people with selfishness are strong.

It's too long...and then it leads to a very running account...seems like this kind of "epic" movie is also popular for a while

Eugene O'Neill: Jack dreams that he can hustle the American working man, who's one dream is that he could be rich enough not to work, into a revolution led by *his* party.

John Reed: All right, Miss Bryant, do you want an interview? Write this down. Are you naïve enough to think containing German militarism has anything to do with this war? Don't you understand that England and France own the world economy and Germany just wants a piece of it? Keep writing, Miss Bryant. Miss Bryant, can't you grasp that J. P. Morgan has loaned England and France a billion dollars? And if Germany wins, he won't get it back! More coffee? America'd be entering the war to protect J. P. Morgan's money. If he loses, we'll have a depression. So the real question is, why do we have an economy where the poor have to pay so the rich won't lose money?
