1982. A darn good movie about John Reed; an idealistic American socialist in 1917. 3 hours.

A masterpiece, and proof that the New Hollywood era didn't really end with "Jaws," "Rocky" and "Star Wars." "Reds" losing the Oscar to "Chariots of Fire" remains one of the greatest injustices in Academy Award history.

Unexpectedly well made movie permitted by capitalistic studio. Cinematography sets the warm (reds) romantic nostalgic tragic mood. Acting is perfect. A classic, but witnesses setup is unique even in modern genre.

The film is now on my top 50; and may move up. The cast, the camera, the honesty of the witnesses. I am excited and look forward to the new Warren Beatty film later this year.

As a Russian, I was curious to see how an American film crew would depict the Russian revolution. Since this is considered a classic, I expected quite a bit from it, but my expectations fell flat. The story about the American journalist is…

Great movie. Was nice to see Diane Keaton when she was younger and her and Warren Beatty were great in it.
