i'd like to thank everyone for their input. it was a one-shot thing and i apologize for any historical inaccuracies. the main reason for the title was just used as a sarcastic remark as to how Marat viewed himself. I am well aware of how much of a bastard he was, but I just used this video to view some points of his life and how it affected the French Revolution as a whole. Again thank you for everyone's input and if you would like to criticize this video, tell me how to make it better.

He was not a martyr. He was one of the guys going nuts after the very good thing that was the revolution and transforming it in a terror time.

Well said. Long live the memory of Charlotte Corday.

With the Liberal Socialist mob violence in Britain right now, it is easy to see how modern Liberal Radicals are a lot like those of the French Revolution days of the past. They don't care when they choose to go crazy and lawless and start burning stuff. The French Revolution was nothing like ours in the US. The French and their revolution suck!! btw,,Marats killer Charlette Corday was a girl from the country like most members of the Girondins, she wanted to stop the Jacobin killing spree.

Jean Paul Marat was a member of the Jacobins, the intercity far left radical socialists. They were middle class but pretended to be hard working blue collar people. Him and Rose Pierre led the killing of all opposition to their leftist efforts with the guillotine. Our founding was not gained by killing all who didn't agree or beheading a king. We wanted "informed" revolution to gain PERSONAL Liberty, not bloody Mob revolution for "social Justice". We fought an ARMY for it, not the people.

Bunch of retarded comments from retarded losers. LOL. I laugh at the stupidity I read on youtube sometimes and today is one of those days. RIP Marat. You might have been crazy, but at least you weren't a sack of shit like the Girondins.

Marat fucking lost it, but to say Charlotte Corday was any better than him is retarded. Everyone unfortunately got fucking lost in the factions and Terror. Shit wasn't even as bad when Marat was around. It got WORSE after his death, so fuck anyone saying he was the architect of the terror. A lot of things he stood for were GOOD. He was a bit vicious in some of his writings, but at least he spoke his mind, which is something you rarely see these days. PS David is the greatest artist from then.

very interesting film. You could build on this good video to make a longer one incorporating more of the classical paintings, but keeping the actors in the modern setting as well. I liked this video.

Marat simply took advantage of the revolution. He was a master opportunist and an extremely good writer. with such qualities, either Madman or Saint you can work wonders during a revolution.

marat mon amour!!! je t'aime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acerb45666555]

a martyr?? Marat?? the author of a fascism matching Hitlers future insanity! Marat, and his boyfriend, Robespierre, were demonic creatures! and 55,000 souls posthumously agree with me! damn them both! Vive Charlotte Courday!! Hero of France and the cleanser of corruption!!

so you know he never killed anyone given he suggested people but he had no control over the final decision.
