Film Ideas?

[JAH23]

I wish to become a filmmaker one day, and want to fill my films with radical left ideals and messages.

I have some ideas for stories, but want to know if you guys have any.

Please share.

A good one would be a psychopathic black humor cracking nun that kills people with Hammers and Sickles. Her primary targets should be rich people and bankers ect..

[JAH23]

Get Tyler Perry to direct it, I presume?

Original and worthwhile.

Make a Karl Marx bio pic.

I've had this idea for awhile: It'd be cool to make a movie about the entire history of the socialist movement by interweaving different stories together, where the Manifesto serves as the common thread for each story. Kind of like Love Actually or something...but with communism. So the first few scenes would be Karl Marx in London, writing the first passages of the Manifesto...which transitions to a young Bolshevik reading the Manifesto for the first time in Moscow, 1917. The next few scenes follow the young comrade in the fighting during the October Revolution; our hero helps a fallen comrade, who gives him his copy of the Manifesto, which leads into a transition to...Cuba/Spain/China/Paris/etc.

And then finish it with a climax scene that jumps between all the stories, with the final passages of the Manifesto read in a crescendo by each central character (in all the languages of our heroes), with the Internationale in the background.

If the Soviet film industry was still around, I'd actually try to make it happen.

This is a pretty interesting idea...

I really like the idea of a young person in a naivite state who reads the manifesto, is extremely inspired, and takes it upon himself to start a revolution. Make the story very personal. I dunno.

i think corny propaganda nonsense should be avoided at all costs, at least if you're trying to make a good film.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Know what's an awesome movie with communist themes in it? Sweet Movie.

That was one seriously fucked-up subversive movie.

[Guerrilla22]

make Che part 3. It could be a revert to the period before Che part 2. So then people could watch part 1, then part 3, then part 2 in order for the story to be in chronological order.

Make a movie where some mad communist scientists re-animate Lenin's corpse, who then proceeds to go on a blood-and-gore filled rampage through the streets of Moscow.

I'd watch that movie.

To make it more awesome, they should bring back Stalin and Trotsky in the sequal, then half way through, Lenin gets shot in the head and Trotsky and Stalin start to fight each other.

It would be the Aliens to the first one's Alien.

How much experience do you have with film making? I'm just curious because I'm fascinated by the process.

[Kléber]

Part 1 - The Student Years

V.I. Lenin - Orlando Bloom or Leonardo DiCaprio

L.D. Trotsky - Elijah Wood

J.V. Stalin - Jake Gyllenhaal (Joaquin Phoenix could be good too but he is looking bad these days)

A.M. Kollontai - Winona Ryder

G.Y. Zinoviev - Vince Vaughn

L.B. Kamenev - Brad Pitt

N.I. Bukharin - Steve Buscemi

A.M. Spiridonova - Natalie Portman

N.I. "Papa" Makhno - Johnny Depp

[Revy]

I don't see why we need to focus so much on history. Sure, history can be interesting, but it's also disconnected from the moment. If I wanted to make a radically left film I would set it in the present or a few years before or after that.

i say you make a movie about how various politicians get hunted like foxes. you could have the hounds baying after them, the prols on horse back chasing after.

and finally, the end, a politician curled up in a ball being shot, and then carted on a stick back to the manor.

Communist porn.

[Incendiarism]

I had an idea about a film set during the fall of saigon about an american soldier who frantically tries to save people before the last chopper left. When he's unable to save the girl he loves he rides off into the sunset into an unknown future. He also become a communist.

I've mainly taught myself by picking up a camera and analyzing films. I've had several jobs shooting and editing video. I've taken numerous photography courses, which can definitely be applied to filmmaking. I'm still in high school, and am studying film in college, but I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable on the subject.

that's cool. Studying film would be a blast, although not all that useful.
