The Communist in me is happy.
I'm not a communist anymore, but i do enjoy the badassness portrayed. You did the whole propaganda movie feel really well. There's debate, though, as to if Mario has communist overtones, or if he has fascist overtones.
My only critique for a very good movies, which isn't really a critique, more of something i thought would be interesting if you added it, is if you put the song you used into Audacity or another sound editing program, and during the times where it counted, crescendo (increase the volume in a music sort of way, just in case you don't know).
You make me wish i was a Kommy again. However, Your Mario propaganda will not work on me!
