Movie Reviews of Reds (25th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Seeing Blu-Ray Red ( and liking it )
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an interesting story about the only American to be buried in the Kremlin(?) in then communist Russia- John Reed. I have to admit I like this kind of film because it shows real people being moved by real world events. How they react or respond or resist to the power that overwhelms them makes for great cinama when it's done right. And this movie does it right. Directed by Warren Beatty who won the Oscar for his efforts the presentation of the turn of events suurounding the Communist Revolution is clearly presented. Some great performances by Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Maureen Stapleton add major 'meat' to the body of the narrative.

Sometimes a little drawn-out especially when Beatty -playing the lead character John Reed - starts preaching to the Revolution leaders about his insistence that they not alter his writings ( he believes firmly in the power of communism and it's ability to save the American worker from the rule of the Capitalists and writes speeches for them about this ) and when he's trying to explain why Communism is a seemingly perfect economic system. But the scenes change quickly and the next stage in the revolution shows itself to be just as heartless as any other contrivance created by people determined to improve their economic plight.

The Blu-ray image is very good, the sound is very good, the bigger-than-life feel you get watching these people torture themselves and others is palpable to the extreme at times but the action moves along. I've noticed when I watch movies like this I find myself really grasping the jist of the story only after having viewed it several times. This is that type of movie. Watch it once and shun it if you will. But the 'Reds' Revolution will call you back at some future date and believe me, you will respond with enthusiasm.
