'Reds'

Since I've started this little project, this is by far the best and my favorite of the films seen. 

It has some fantastic performances, it's vastly interesting from a journalistic and historic point of view. It's more than three hours long and I was glued to the screen for its entirety. 

Warren Beatty's interesting. He directed the picture and it just looks great. Also, the interviews with the "Witnesses" are just amazing. He's 43 in "Reds" and he's as refreshing and energetic as anyone in the picture. Where does he rank in the pantheon of actors? 

Also, I realize who Maggie Gyllenhaal reminds me of: a young Diane Keaton. They have very much the same mannerisms and body language. Both oh-so very sexy.
