Reds

#54 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie List

I rented this movie by accident because I saw a clip from some movie starring Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson that looked funny. This movie isn't that funny, but it's awesome nonetheless. It's about commies and love or something. The Russian revolution mixed with the American communist movement at the time, interspersed with actual interviews with actual American communist movementers who were still alive when the movie was made. If you like communism and/or love, this might be the movie for you! Or if you like Warren Beatty. Then it could also be a movie you would enjoy.

RATING: 90%

(PS - I bought the above version of the dvd at Target for like $5. All the 80s stuff is awesome all over it. It's from this line of dvd releases cashing in on the most consumerist of decades, including Big Top Pee Wee, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and Reds. Reds? Really?)

As someone who likes communism but hates love, I feel like I could really get into this film based on your description of it.
