Reds - the death of idealism.

"Four million people died not of war, but of a system that didn't work." Young people with enthusiasm who wanted to change the world eventually became a prisoner, a tool to be used; make decisions. "When you kill dissent, you kill revolution." Revolution is dissent, giving everyone a voice and a voice. The reality is shattered, he just wants to go home, but the ending is only death.
Unforgettable only love, she fell in love with someone when he was away, when he found out, she fought with him, she left him. She was sometimes mean to him, but he still loved her. He desperately went to the Soviet Union and was locked in a foreign prison. She desperately spent six months smuggling him to find him and bring him home during this extraordinary period. However, when they finally met, he was dying, he was about to die, and all this enthusiasm was killed by the cruelty of reality. His socialist dream, that everyone is equal and that workers and peasants will no longer be exploited, has long been shattered. He also understands the essence of socialism, that is, the government is more cruel and effective than the capitalists to stifle and manipulate the people.

    Awesome to mobilize emotions, awesome to stack letters and telegrams, awesome to end a three-hour movie with some innocuous words from others. I was really afraid that she didn't meet someone at the train station, so what's the point of all this.

Reds quotes

  • Louise Bryant: Boy, you've become quite the critic, haven't you, gene? Just leaned back and analyzed us all. Duplicitous women who tout free love and then get married, power-mad journalists who join the revolution instead of observing it, middle-class radicals who come looking for sex and then talk about Russia. It must seem so contemptible to a man like you who has the courage to sit on his ass and observe human inadequacy from the inside of a bottle. Well, I've never seen you do anything for anyone. I've never seen you give anything to anyone, so I can understand why you might suspect the motives of those who have. But whatever Jack's motives are, how...

    Eugene O'Neill: I seem to have touched a wound.

  • Government Agent: I don't suppose there's a chance of you being a Bolshevik agitator, is there?

    Louise Bryant: Why don't you just look around, and see how agitated you get?
