I walked 65 blocks in a blizzard in Lincoln, Nebraska to see this movie. It was worth it. Ten years later, I moved to St. Petersburg Russia and lived there for a year (1997). I even taught English in Smolny, the actual spot where the Bolsheviks planned the Russian Revolution. Even in Russia, I felt that Beatty's Russia was true.

If I was nominated for Best Director,Producer,Writer,and Lead actor in one year! I would be alittle full of myself too. Plus, he did it twice. Won the thalberg award, a few golden globes, dga and wga awards. The guy is a legend!

i said that his comments made him seem up himself - i really enjoy beatty's films, especially reds. I just thought that pre-emptimg something like the Oscars Best Picture with his confidence was a touch arrogant. He is gifted though, no doubt.

He is not full of himself, he is one of the most gifted actors/directors ever! and if you look back at oscar history you will see that almost every movie that has won for best director and won for best picture, They pretty much go hand in hand... This is an amazing film and I truly apperciate what it has opened me up to. Everyone now a days is so one track minded, it really doesn't hurt to see something in a different light, does it?

as good as the film is, warren seems more than a little up himself - 'if I win best director, then of course I'll win the best picture' what!?

People whorship captailism, never thinking that like communism it has lead to the downfall of many countries. Captalism as a system doesn't work. If it did, we wouldn't need Obama or Clinton to run for president in order to give people decent health care. If captialism worked, Enron would not have been run into the ground because of greed. In Germany, Nokia may face a fine for closing a factory in Germany and reopening in Romania--to save money despite earning over $3B! At least the EC is awake!

So true. Americans were turned off by it because the main character had a) communist sympathies and b) went to Russia to cover the Revolution. The movie was made to inform people of an important era of American history and show the social injustices that still exist today. The fear of communism is so great people fail to see how its principles could help US become a better nation.
