Just saw this movie. A very good and entertaining film. Music and visuals were outstanding, and the story rekindled my affection for Marxism. For as Trotsky inferred, the failure of Stalin and ultimately the collapse of communism to capitalism was the power being held and abused by the bureaucrats. But yet, in capitalism, the power is held by the capitalist who are shielded by the bureaucracy. In a reference to another great flick, "A Bridge Too Far", the communist Revolution failed because they parachuted in to the final bridge and the bridge they bypassed, the bureaucrats, cut them off from the people. And its hard to have a "Peoples Revolution" when you leave the people behind.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
