The reason why the "Young Marx" film critic is a great man is that he not only has profound thoughts, but also has the courage to stick to his own thoughts and original intentions. --Inscription

"Young Marx" is a realistic biographical film, which is based on the social background of Europe in the mid-19th century, which was shrouded in absolute monarchy and economic depression. Although after the Industrial Revolution, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in society. The means of production are occupied by capitalists, while the vast majority of people are exploited by capitalists and become "slaves" in factories. In the first scene of the film, people in ragged clothes are picking up branches in the forest, but these fallen branches should not be regarded as property, and picking up branches should not be regarded as theft. Punished and killed by ruthless officers and soldiers. These scenes all reflect the injustice and bullying of that era. It is against this social background that there are always people with lofty ideals who stand up and give hope to those who are in dire straits with their thoughts. Just as the League of the Righteous put forward the slogan of "everyone is a brother", advocating goodwill and fraternity, but it failed to notice that in that society, the bourgeoisie would not have goodwill towards the toiling people under oppression, so goodwill cannot defeat the capital. class, so the good "resistance" of the people will eventually become a bubble. On the other hand, Marx and Engels, two young Germans, recognized this and had the courage to propose to those who insisted that "everyone is a brother" the reality of that society that "the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are not brothers", and advocated "the whole world" The proletarians unite". We often say that the friendship between Marx and Engels is a great friendship, so is the acquaintance of the two of them accidental? I don't think so. Although the image of Marx in the movie is always shabby, while Engels is always dressed neatly and decently, and the economic situation of the two is very different. It seems that it is difficult to get to know each other and become friends, but in my opinion, the acquaintance of Marx and Engels is because Marx dared to question the views and theories of others, while at the same time identifying his own beliefs, critically inheriting German classical philosophy, British classical political economy, and British and French utopian socialism; it was because Engels was born in a wealthy family, but in his heart His conscience could make him dissatisfied with his father's exploitation of workers, so he went deep into the working class, into the homes of the toiling masses, to understand the status quo of the working class, and wrote a book "The Condition of the British Working Class" as an opportunity met Marx. As a result, two like-minded people who have profound thoughts on the social status quo met and left behind brilliant ideological achievements. They absorbed the rational content of dialectics in Hegel's philosophy and abandoned its idealism. Materialism in the philosophy of Erbach, founded the philosophy of dialectical materialism. Besides Marx and Engels, I was impressed by Marx's wife, Jenny, in this film. Even after watching this movie, Yanni said to Engels in a firm tone, "If you want to be happy, you must rebel, rebel against the established old order and the old world, this is my life creed", this scene still comes to my mind inside. Like Engels, Jenny was originally from a wealthy background, but she let go of the society's presuppositions for her and devoted herself to her own ideals. In addition to her own adherence to ideals and beliefs, the reason why Marx became a great person, Yanni's support also played a huge role. She has independent views and thoughts on things, and has profound knowledge. Even if his ideas might not be accepted by the society at that time, even if he was expelled from France for writing an article attacking Prussia, Marx still insisted on his own ideas; even if he was questioned by his father because of his acquaintance with Marx, Engels still stood for them It is precisely because of their unremitting efforts and perseverance that there is communism, and the "Communist Manifesto" that begins with "a ghost, a ghost of communism roaming Europe". produce. Therefore, a great man is a great man because he not only has profound thoughts, but also has the courage to stick to his own thoughts and original intentions. Judging from today's reality, the scientific and revolutionary nature of Marxism makes its ideas still brilliant today and inspires people. Emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, and advancing with the times are the living soul of Marxism. Therefore, in today's time, the combination of Marxism and China's reality is: "the world's worries and worries, and the world's joys and pleasures", adhere to dialectical materialism and historical materialism, achieve subjective and objective, theory and practice Concrete and historical unification to achieve the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people.
