Reds - train station scene

At the AFI tribute to Warren Beatty: In recalling the landmark film, "Reds", Diane Keaton talked about the famous reunion-at-the-train-station scene near the films end. Its my favorite few minutes of anything Ive done on film, Keaton said, which is saying a lot. She said of Warren Beatty, who directed her, I didnt make it easy for him. She said that she wore a Walkman (you remember — the tape kind) blasting Bob Dylan to block out all your direction. It was take after take till I finally got it. Keaton continued: Its the memory of the kind of love I never imagined possible in the movies. On that train station in Spain, where the scene was filmed, Keaton said, it was the sweet anguish of love when I saw your face.

One of the great scenes in film history from an epic that is epically underrated.

@mattaki thank you the Mensheviks were in utoipia for five minutes then it was Lenin (not his real name) and the sad horrors of stalin later, a historian, wow....now that I am an adult and filmmaker I am taking these scenes apart to understand what Beatty was trying to say. comments welcome. I do not think John Reed was a reporter after all, they lied to me in journalism class????

It is one of the best movies of the 20th Century and the one that book change journalism forever!

Diane Keaton, yes for best actress!

One of the five best movies of the 20th Century. Vastly underrated. Beatty and Keaton were both magnificent.

I was unaware that Putin was clamping down on Stalin researchers. It's a good thing that they compiled as much as they did in the 90's. As far as literature goes, I would say that the best reading I've done was "Let History Judge" by Roy Medvedev, "The Great Terror" and "Harvest Of Sorrow" by Robert Conquest, and "Hitler And Stalin, Parallel Lives" by Alan Bullock. Discovery Channel aired a really good doccumentary series in the 90's called "Monster-A Portrait Of Stalin In Blood"

@jacktheripoff1888 The true numbers will not be known in the Putin era, since apparently the police have harassed Stalin researchers and confiscated their work - and the foreigner researchers are prone to have their visas cancelled, putting an end to their research. I've read figures of a 2-5% survival rate for those sent to the gulag, depending on where and what era.

@mattaki

Yes, Stalin supplies plenty of ammo for sarcasam.

But I think you are a tad low in the numbers on the purges from 1934-38. You had anywhere from 10-20 million sent to the gulags, and you know not many survived.

@jacktheripoff1888 Were you being sarcastic? Stalin falsified everything he could!
