The Young Karl Marx
Firebrands Talking at Rallies: The Movie. Tout le Welt parle eine hodgepodge of Zentral Europpéan languages, trés cosmopolitain.
This is a biopic of Karl Marx and his satellite people until the Communist Manifesto. That USSR reference is not fair, he’s just a broke pamphlet writer trying to gain financial independence to work on real stuff, like books. He is involved in the existing worker movement, but he finds them either feeble offshoots of the Church, going on about fraternity and friendship, or dangerous anarchists bent on wrecking the world.

This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
