A wonderful antidote to the disastrous In Dubious Battle and a worthy backdrop to the ongoing proletarian revolution coming soon to a screen near you....

Si no te gustan las dos cosas, olvídate no es tu película. La verdad es que he aprendido cosas que no sabía. Como película no llega a ser gran cosa. Pero como me gusta la economía, este de su lado o no, pues me ha entretenido. Escuchar cómo se llevó todo a cabo, ver como vivían, como lo hacían todo, si hacían lo que predicaban, ha sido entretenido.Los actores están muy bien, me los he creído, si bien no me he creído ni el maquillaje ni la peluquería. Parecía completamente impostada, es una de las cosas por las que no llegara a ser una gran película.La iluminación tampoco es buena. No es muy mala, pero no es buena. No aporta gran cosa.La dirección, sabe defenderse y no aburrir, contando que es una película con mucho dialogo y un dialogo especial, ya que es economía. Pero un poco de puesta en escena y mover a los actores le habría venido muy bien. No sabe colocar la cámara, no se molesta nada más que en observar lo que paso y ya está.Pero bueno para amantes de los dos campos es entretenida.If you do not like both, forget it's not your movie. The truth is that I have learned things that I did not know. As a movie, it does not become a big thing. But as I like the economy, this on its side or not, it has entertained me. Listening to how everything was carried out, seeing how they lived, how they did everything, if they did what they preached, has been entertaining.The actors are very well, I have believed them, although I have not believed neither the makeup nor the hairdresser. It seemed completely impostada, is one of the things that would not become a great movie.The lighting is not good either. It's not very bad, but it's not good. It does not contribute much.The management, knows how to defend itself and not bored, telling that it is a film with a lot of dialogue and a special dialogue, since it is economy. But a little staging and moving the actors would have been very good. He does not know how to put the camera, he does not bother anything more than to observe what happened and that's it.But good for lovers of the two fields is entertaining

If one is looking for a film which touts a boorish freeloader as an intellectual giant, then this might be a way to spend 2 hours of your life... For the remainder of us, we are better off cleaning the hardened gum from the bottom of our waste basket, as a much fancied alternative

This is a beautifully presented historical drama – and a political story/argument. It's based on the letters exchanged between Marx (August Diehl) and Friedrich Engels (Stefan Konarske). The film follows their friendship from their first meeting all the way until the the drafting of the Communist Manifesto. The story illuminates their arguments, their friendship, and their personal histories.Marx, played by August Diehl, in an angry way, impoverished, and looking for an argument. Engels, played by Stefan Konarske, is the wealthy fellow, a dandy and a romantic.The problem is, watching people argue about communist theories reminds me of my college days, minus the joint. It can be tedious, especially given the failure of communism. Nevertheless it's interesting if you're into politics and history. In fact it's a perfect film to show in a university course on social studies because it is, I believe, historically accurate. I would love to see someone take these characters and plop them down in present day to reflect on the course their ideas have taken. THAT would be a great talking film.
