Opium für das Volk - Karl Marx und die Kirchen
1983 · 29m · Documentary
Opium für das Volk - Karl Marx und die Kirchen isn’t scholarship—it’s Marxist revisionism whitewashing atheism’s war on faith. This German doc falsely equates Christianity with communism in part one, then twists Marx’s "opium of the people" slur into mere "influence" from his Jewish-Christian roots and other critics. It downplays his explicit god-hatred—"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature"—to pretend he had a nuanced "personal relationship" with Christianity. No balance: ignores Marx’s satanist ties, Hegelian dialectics weaponized against Scripture, and how his ideology birthed 100M deaths under godless regimes. Cherry-picks "parallels" to sanitize Marxism as spiritual, not the Bible-rejecting materialism that fueled Bolshevik church-burnings. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to make atheists look thoughtful, not Bible-denying totalitarians.

Hugo Pratt, trait pour trait
2016 · ★ 7
Several key words emerge from Hugo Pratt's work, inseparable from his life: travel, adventure, erudition, esotericism, mystery, poetry, melancholy... and of course, Corto Maltese, his hero and alter ego, who established him as one of the greatest names in comic books. Born in Italy in 1927 and dying in Switzerland sixty-eight years later, Hugo Pratt, born without an H and with only one T, grew up in the shadow of a fascist father who took him at a very young age to Ethiopia, which was occupied by Mussolini's forces. The teenager developed a fascination for the wide-open spaces of Africa, soon followed by an irresistible attraction to the Indian world. This was the starting point for a life of travel, success, conquests, rare failures, and marked by his veneration for the American cartoonist Milton Caniff, his absolute master.
