Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Andres-Camara 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

jmsdxtr-215-978064 When an honest film like this gets 6.5 stars on IMDB and The Avengers: Infinity Wars get 9.1, it shows that there is something terribly wrong with the ranking system on this site. A thinking film that captures the emotional, social and political complexity of mid-nineteenth industrial European radicalism is something to be truly cherished in this age of the vomit and mind numbing putridity coming from the nightmare factory of popular culture. That's all I need to say. Just watch this film.

keenast Where it fails is a) the script and b) the very boring mis-en-scene. It. comes over as a classic 'DDR' movie - very well crafted but....no kick what's-o-ever. And the dialog...oh my;-(

victoriavaradi-47267 I don't think that the film was terrible. It had decent cinematography, music, acting. I really enjoyed listening to so many different languages in the same film. It is watchable once, especially if somebody is interested in this topic and period of history. But I think it lacked any artistic vision or imagination, depth, or entertainment. I don't know if it was because the filmmakers wanted to stay very true to the historical facts (which would be understandable), but watching the film felt a little bit like listening to a very basic two-hour lecture about Marx and his work. The plot fell quite flat, without twists, without changes or even a real climax. (I guess Engels' speech in the end was supposed to be the climax of the film, but I only came to that conclusion after thinking about it for a while, since it didn't have too much emotional impact.) In the beginning, Marx works on articles and talks about his theories, after he meets Engels, they work on articles and talk about their theories with each other and others, finally, in the end, they still write articles, and talk about theories. So basically they do the same things and talk about the same things. Marx is having financial problems and has a loving wife, Engels doesn't have financial problems, and has a supporting girlfriend/wife throughout the whole movie. So their circumstances, their private lives do not change too much either. It is great for them, but not so great for the viewers. (Although I am sure that in reality they had quite a bit of drama in their lives, like Engels going against his father, their marriages, the effects of the financial problems, the eviction from France etc.) The glimpse we get into their private lives in a way feels too much, since it is portrayed in a rather uninteresting way, but it's too few to get to know them on a more "personal" level. It still feels like we see two characters who just walked out of the pages of a history book, as opposed to real living people with complex lives and feelings. If you want to know more about Marx, as a young guy, as a person I think this film doesn't do the job. If you want to know more about his work, or this part of history, you are better off reading a book, if you want to be entertained, than maybe it's also not the film for you. From a different point of view, for a commercial film, it's not really entertaining enough, for an art film, it doesn't have a point of view, and as a biographical film, it's probably not detailed enough.
