"THE YOUNG KARL MARX following his early years and the starts of his political work. 26 year-old Karl Marx (August Diehl) embarks with his wife, Jenny, on the road to exile. In 1844 Paris, he meets Friedrich Engels (Stefan Konarske), an industrialist's son, who investigated the sordid birth of the British working class. Engels, the dandy, provides the last piece of the puzzle to the young Karl Marx's new vision of the world. Together, between censorship and the police's repression, riots and political upheavals, they will lead the labour movement during its development into a modern era"

Interesting. If done accurately, it may help to dispel the notion that Marx/Engels are the same as Lenin/Stalin.
But I doubt many Americans will see it. They already "know" everything. |

He was kind of jerk in many ways. I much prefer Engels. |

Proudhon! Even better Lassalle! It even has a duel in it! |

Will it be historically acute is the question |

Guys, there are appropriate venues to discuss prospective accuracy and viewership of a TV series. There are places in which to discuss Marx's responsibility or otherwise for the rise of totalitarianism. And Heaven knows there are places on the "net to slander Americans. This isn't any of them. |

Wow…robert p. Where did that come from? |
| Pan Marek | 05 Apr 2017 2:24 p.m. PST |
From my post, most likely. |

Can't say anything bad about Marx, Marxism, or totalitarian governments. If you do, you will be sent to the gulag. |

Karl…the serious Marx brother. |

oh for frack sake it is not a biopic of Lenin, or Stalin, or Pol Pot, or Mao,or whatever. It is a biopic of Marx. Hell its is not even a biopic of Marx writing about the Paris Commune. So stop it. If you really think that absent Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot or something similar would not had happened you are know nothing. World War I was not started by Marx. And it is from that poisoned chalice that the Lenins , Stalins, etc flow. |

Can't really see why this film is even being posted about here myself. Accuracy, subject matter or inspiration for later events- still don't see it's relevance to our site about playing with toy soldiers. |

It's the 19th Century Media Message Board, Bruntonboy. Methinks that pretty much covers it. |
| bruntonboy | 06 Apr 2017 5:35 a.m. PST |
Quite so, I never noticed that. Although it still doesn't actually appear relevant IMHO. To be totally hypocritical though…I am glad to hear about this film, it is news to me. |

Well he did write a lot of (bad) military journalism during the continental wars of the mid nineteenth century… And at least he wasn't a petit bourgeois mill owner like his pal Engels.. |

Glad to hear it, bruntonboy  |
| Tango01 | 06 Apr 2017 11:02 a.m. PST |
