Full Plot Details

Who knew that Communism could be so funny? This madcap documentary reexamines the Cultural Revolution and restores the once bright reputation of Mao Zedong. "The Passion of the Mao" begins by correcting misconceptions about Mao's early years. Unlike the tyrants with whom he is usually compared, Mao was a successful scholar and businessman before he became a rabble-rouser. By the mid1950s, he had unified China, spurred an impressive rate of growth, restructured the education system, and improved living standards. Then he became a Maoist. Mao devoted the rest of his life to eliminating the centralized Soviet bureaucracy he and his colleagues had built. The film takes viewers back to the 1960s. Successful women and men, some now professors at major universities in the West, credit Mao and especially the Cultural Revolution for making them feminists and allowing them access to education. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao brought Western-style ballets and operas, reinterpreted in Chinese form, to China's villages. Peasants chose leaders who represented their true interests, and rural communities built schools independent of the central government. And what about the anti-Maoist beliefs that have sullied the reputation of the man once referred to as "the sun in the sky?" They are part of a vast radical conspiracy, the result of propaganda churned out by the same people who turned the tanks on the Tiananmen demonstrators.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Boopathy Ppure bio documentary but very entertaining.. though the result of moasim experiment is not clear.. get to know the old china
User Review - 6/10 by Justin MFascinating to put it lightly. I am buying a book on this dude... Very strange but very affective. They say he never brushed his teeth. They also say while civilians were not laboring or at work he pushed them to trap rats and catch flies in an effort to make a pest free society! And they did it!! A documentary with some funny animations and some great vintage stock footage. But at times seemed to drag on a bit with the narrator just rumbling on about certain periods in the mans life. None the less it sparked something for me to read up on so it can;t be that bad.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UHops between chronicling historical notes & tongue-in-cheek anecdotes about Mao's toilet & sexual practices. Most notably - highlighting social benefits of the Cultural Revolution; citing increased life expectancy, (rural) primary/secondary school enrollment, can-do attitude amongst women & peasant pride.
