Interstellar Revolution

And more on that oh so hot topic: I watched this film for the first time yesterday...it's 8 minutes long and very difficult to describe. Enjoy!

Honestly, what is the difference between this shit and nazi propaganda? Well, the nazis probably had more style, the USSR's state-capitalist aesthetics were mediocre beyond belief. Both states hated jews about as much.

If you can't tell the difference between this and Triumph of the Will then you, sir, are a Mentalist.

There are some valid points about Nazi/Soviet equivalencies but that was not one of them. I saw this at the recent soviet sci-fi season at the Melbourne Cinematheque and though it was marvelous.

Where is the similarity between this and 120 minutes of flexing Aryan torsos? There's no point in making bizzare and groundless aesthetical accusations to gain cheap ideological points. I think that comment was from a Nazi with a grudge.

Also at the sci-fi season was a fantastic silent space adventure showing off an imagined future Moscow skyline, dominated by the terrifying Palace of the Soviets. Interesting stuff...
