Seeing Reds again after a long hiatus, I was impressed again by just how well the movie is made. The sets and scenes, the attention to detail, and the epic scale of everything just overwhelms. Beatty, Keaton, and Stapleton are all flawless in their performances. And - though it does go on for quite awhile - the story moves briskly and keeps you locked in to every moment.
The power of the film is such that, even knowing how it all played out in real life, you yearn to be a part of "The Revolution" and take up arms with Jack and Louise against the evil capitalists. Well, maybe not entirely. But you do find yourself seduced by the romance and adventure of it all.
I just can't say enough good about it. I'm just in awe of how well-crafted it is.
