What is with the REDS banner and the link which goes to another

[whistle]

...movie and makes no mention of REDS?

This is what REDS is:

Warren Beatty's 'Reds' is a terrific film that is not only great story telling in the conventional Hollywood way but also has an original style of narration told in many ways from the point of view of witnesses to the real story who lived during the days the film is centred around.

The film is especially significant to view since the iron curtain in Russia has come down and 'Reds' is a movie that never looks dated and stresses the fact that morals at the early part of the 20th century were about the same as they are now. It's just that no one discussed it back then and it emphasizes that times change but people don't.

With top notch performances from the entire cast, it is one of the few films to be nominated for an Oscar in all four acting categories and was victorious in the Best Supporting Actress category for Maureen Stapleton although the film's best performance comes from Diane Keaton who should have won her second Oscar.

To date, Beatty is the only film maker to be Oscar nominated for Best Director, Actor, Screenwriter and Producer twice for the same film. The other time was for 1978's 'Heaven Can Wait'.

1. OMFG -- I've been waiting for this for almost TEN YEARS!

It was one of the first films I taped when I had a VHS machine and I've wanted the DVD since I first got a DVD player (that's been almost 10 years now).

YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (Humming "The Internationale" even now....)

2. TCM played it a few weeks ago

and I reacquainted myself with what a fantastic flick it was.

My favorite line was Emma Goldman's, when a man offered to escort her home, "Why? I'm not gonna hurt anybody."

As a woman who's lived alone in the inner city most of her life, I can relate to that attitude.

4. My favorite lines ... "Welcome back to America"

Edward Hermann when as Beatty/Keaton return to U.S. after the Russian Revolution and the Attorney General confiscates his book notes. (Reed: "They took my notes. Can they do that?" Hermann: "Welcome back to America.") Also the exchange between Beatty/Reed and Keaton/Bryant at the beginning ... Bryant: "What as? You want me to come to New York but what as? Your mistress, your concubine?" Reed: "Well, it's almost Thanksgiving. Why don't you come as a turkey?"
