Reds

[PrideoftheProletariat]

Reds was an excellent film that came out in 1981. The film is about the life of John Reed, American communist and founder of the Communist Labor Party of America. The movie stars Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, and Jack Nicholson. It was directed by Warren Beatty. At the academy awards that year, it was nominated for more academy awards than other film for the past fifteen years. Warren Beatty won numerous awards for directing it. Shows revolutionary Russia, the socialist movement in America during the first red scare, and is overall very good.

I've never seen the whole thing, but I do like Maureen Stapleton's role in the film. She does it very well and won the supporting actress award for it.

I watched parts of it in AP European History this year. It was...Different...

Hahaha, maybe I'll watch it not in a classroom and get a better grasp on the film. The direction was crazy!

It's an excellent film. Really gets into the 'mood' and politics of that time in history. Beatty is excellent in it, but, for me, the genuis of the film is the talking heads of the old-timers who knew and worked with Jack - quite moving.

Pretty good movie.

If I recall Maureen Stapleton played the Emma Goldman role.
Diane Keaton, Louise Bryant
and Jack Nickelson, (don't even know how to spell it) was Eugene O'Neill.

I thought it was a decent film. It is slow in the begining but when Reed arrives in the USSR it gets more exciting. Oh and I like when they sang the International.

Everyone should read a good bio of John Reed, his life was really interesting.

Also, read "Insurgent Mexico" by John Reed (not to mention 10 Days that shook the world).
