I really enjoy the movie.

My favorite character is Pasha/Strelnikof.

His life is so full of change.

He’s a young revolutionary.

Then, he’s a family man.

Next, he’s a Soldier.

He then becomes a tyrant.

The action that is not seen in the movie, but merely mentioned, is that he abandons all politics and escapes to be with his love, Lara.

It shows that this world is made up of people, not politics.

A beautiful story with great acting and beautiful scenery and excellent camera work.

Wasn’t he a metaphor for Trotsky?

I agree, the character of Strelnikov is fascinating, and I’ve often referenced it to how many of these Liberal protesters would act if they ever got complete power and how these people that whine about “Democracy” today would become tyrants if given the chance.
