Indeed- this is strikingly perfect. To the very detail of Mercader removing the pick carefully from his coat, and his eyes closing as he swung into Trotsky's head. Only discrepancy is that Trotsky had spat upon Mercader.
@@antitiktokunion3894 It did fracture his skull but he was not paralyzed, in fact he attacked his assassin and broke his arm. He was still conscious when his bodyguard grabbed the assassin and he told them to keep him alive. He died the next day after being hospitalised.
Lycris: Lev= “they like semplicity analyze distinguish, it’s a question of precision of will, life is complex, but in the end, it’s simple” Pickaxe= “TAC!” Lev= “Aaaaaaiiiii aaaaaaiiiiii” Natalia= “Leeeeev Leeeeeev”
@@____-gy5mq The Famine Would Have Happened Anyway even If Stalin Wasn't In Charge Because It Was Caused By The Kulaks Trotsky Was A Traitor And He Got What He Deserved
Nah in real life he actually fought off the attacker and broke his wrist before the guards finally arrived, he then lived for another day lucid and speaking.
Ahhh... The "Golden Days" of Stalinist Russia...When if you were not liked by the tyrant himself, you were ordered killed, regardless of WHERE in the world you sought refuge (Hell, even if you were on an uncharted desert island somewhere, he'd probably catch up with you)... The Mob couldn't do a better job!
@@grimsplague yeah.....right. The failure of Communism has NOTHING to do with who or how it's implemented but with the communist system itself. It's a friggin failure
@@edmonddantes3640 Wrong, communism had not implemented when Trotsky was still in Russia and they were rebuilding from the civil war. With Lenin and trotsky this wouldve assumed a constant pace of production under the NEP, biding their time whilst pursuing correct policies in relation to China, Spain, France, Germany and Britain in order to spread the revolution.
I think it’s a lot more common for people to hesitate before screaming after being struck in real life. You would probably be in shock for a few seconds.
@🌟༻🅹🅰🆈🅵🅰༺ ✓ • 5 years ago Che Guevara was no stalinist, regardless whether he said those things or not. He was a lot more orthodox marxist. Fidel Castro was borderline stalinist.

I watch this a lot because I wish I had gotten advice like this when I was young and trying to learn to write well . Anyway Critics execrated this . It made the Medved Bros. worse films of all time book . One critic said that the way the Assassin dressed , I wouldn’t let him in to repair my Tv . Yes this was obviously an early 1970s criticism but that is the way he was dressed . There are pictures of him .
Trotsky was only a Menshevik for like a year after the split of the RDSLP. After that he called himself a "non-factional social democrat" and criticized both Lenin and Martov.
It's not a scream of fear....it is à scream of Anger....Anger against Staline....anger against the Fatum because Trotsky still have plans to influence the curve of Russian history.
According to witnesses he did indeed scream which is what caused the guard to then enter the room to find him fighting with the assassin. He then insisted they don't kill the assassin and let him talk.
@ Richtofen115 I know this scene looks absurd and as one critic said “I wouldn’t let him in to repair my TV “ but it is close to how this went down and that is how the assassin looked .
@@dagnabbit6187 Oh, I meant no offense to the movie or the real life events it was based off. I just find the scene, at the very least least, unintentionally funny. And the fact it sounds like it's pretty 1:1 makes it even funnier!
@@RichtofenE115 Not related but sort of. If you like to read and read books about film , try Adventures In the Screen Trade by the late William Goldman . In it he discusses a lot of things but what really impressed me is a little gimmicky story about a break in and whether it would work on screen.
*0:58 fatatastic! :) Look, these are trozky's words: "We must turn Russia into a desert populated by white negroes upon whom we shall impose a tyranny such as the most terrible Eastern despots never dreamt of. The only difference is that this will be a left-wing tyranny, not a right-wing tyranny. It will be a red tyranny and not a white one. We mean the word ‘red’ literally, because we shall shed such floods of blood as will make all the human losses suffered in the capitalist wars pale by comparison. The biggest bankers across the ocean will work in the closest possible contact with us. If we win the revolution, we shall establish the power of Zionism upon the wreckage of the revolution’s funeral, and we shall became a power before which the whole world will sink to its knees. We shall show what real power is. By means of terror and bloodbaths, we shall reduce the Russian intelligentsia to a state of complete stupefaction and idiocy and to an animal existence." *
