    This movie is criminally underrated. Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, and Jack Nicholson all had stellar performances.

      HaHaHa this film is _"criminally underrated"?_ Nominated for 12 Oscars and won 3 and also multi-nominated and won the British academy awards the golden globes and a ton of other entities awards 😂😂😂
      But we must always remember... on TH-cam everything ever done is underrated 😂😂
      There are even some imbeciles that claim all these things are *"criminally* _underrated"_ LMAO

    I like how these two actors didn’t go for melodrama or shouting. The characters are both suppressing their anger towards each other, with Eugene hiding behind cynicism and dry wit, Louise struggling to hide her own hurt feelings as she used her debating voice, factually defeating him until her emotions bubble up. Nicholson and Keaton both give two of their best performances in this film.

      Have you seen The Pledge?...The Border?...Five Easy Pieces?...Ironweed?......Nicholson is (was) a supernatural talent....efortless, but very professional about his craft. Who can pass on the chance for playing Michael Corleone and still be as succesfull as he was during the follwing years (Last Detail, Chinatown, Cuckoos Nest, The Shinning).

      Drac39 I agree. He gave such a vulnerable performance in this film as Eugene O’Neill falling in love and having his heart broken by Louise Bryant. Oona O’Neill was estranged from her father for much of her life and he practically disowned her because he disapproved of her marriage to Charlie Chaplin. I remember reading that Nicholson’s performance playing O’Neill in Reds helped Oona to see her father in a more compassionate light.

    There was scene originally shot within this one that was shown in the trailer, and Louise went:
    "I'd rather be with a man who wants to change the world than a critic who wants to mourn it."
    How that line never made it into the final cut is beyond me, because that was one of the most meaningful lines I've ever heard.

    Definitely a refreshing scene from Diane Keaton’s Annie Hall persona. Her finest performance on screen ever! Played with facial expressions like it was play-doh! People who talk abt how she’s only ever played quirky timid girls have never seen this film.

    • @GregOrCreg
      @GregOrCreg 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I personally prefer her as a dramatic actress to a comedy one. It's not that she can't do comedy, but since those early Woody Allen films, her more recent comedies have seen her fall back on lazy tics. Films like Reds demonstrate what an acting powerhouse she can be in the right role.

    This movie was made about a time where discussions, debates and rancontuers were the main way of communicating. Beside salons of people discussing the ideas of the day, there was only newspapers (lots of them).
    In terms of how "real"people of the time spoke, pick up "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. It was contemporary to the time period here.
    And yes, people spoke that way. It was when Americans were smart.

  • @juscogens5541
    @juscogens5541 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    For me, the set up in the movie was far better than the "pay-off"...This scene exemplifies what is wrong with having a producer/director. The producer wants to keep the budget at the lowest cost, and the director wants to get "the scene". Here, the producer wins out, there is no time for the scene to develop. Each is so busy trying to get their lines peppered out, that the natural silence or meandering thoughts of natural conversation are not allowed to come to fruition. Even Jack's little scratch of his nose reeks of timed delivery. Each actor is playing the roles of what is their trademark, instead of delving into who Louise Bryant and Eugene O'Neill were. And I am not sure Beatty knew what he wanted. Did he want a "interview" style documentary from those who were there, or a social commentary drama. Finally, we get a far richer display of the stark reality of a revolution turning almost immediately to stifling rule, in Doctor Zhivago. Or how the idyllic dreams do not match the horrific reality in All's Quiet on the Western Front.

    Great film. And I agree that this is probably the best scene (although there are a few other moments involving various speeches in the Russia scenes, that bring me close to tears, when Reed and others are still starry-eyed and optimistic about a democratic revolution and the idea about everyone's opinion mattering and the importance of dissent/individuality to political revolution). The dialogue just crackles here, and Nicholson in particular really relishes delivering those cutting and perceptive but cynical lines. Sadly, from experience, my suspicion is that O'Neill is right about what the average working-class man and woman want (and, alas, it's not workers' solidarity).

    O'Neil's line in this scene how the dream of the working man in America is that he'll one day be rich enough not to work is truth. People like Louise and Jack see class struggle as sport, like O'Neil says. Middle class liberals haven't changed since. Nothing has.

      Reactionaries used to say that monarchy was the natural state of human civilization, that democracy doesn't work because everyone wants to be the king. The failure of the English and French revolutions even seemed to confirm this. History, however, did not stop there.

      Both characters are writers, though (he, a 20th-century great at it). And they're ex-lovers with a complex history. They've thought about each other a lot. Think about times in your life you get a killer line off in an argument with someone you have a lot of history with. Was it entirely spontaneous, or something you had stored up?
