No, I did not like Reds, but it has also been quite some time since I saw it... 25 years, perhaps. The book it is based on is rotten, and I thought so was the movie.But this is real shame. The Russian Revolution had a profound effect on world history, and, like its French mother, deservs serious studies. The original film, BTW, was not horrrible, but limited, and my hope was more films covering the events in serious way would follow... but none happened, and now, another version of the same lame book?
In an absoute sense, it is good that we at least have the movies like Reds and Dr. Zhivago, for without them the public knowledge of the events would have been even more limited.
So that was good start... but will there be a continuation?
