The paper is largely free of mechanical errors. Discussion is coherent. Film terminology is used appropriately The paper offers plentiful, detailed, subtle and strongly relevant evidence/film analysis. The paper is free from mechanical defects and shows a sense of personal style, too. Discussion is coherent and film terminology excellently used to clarify points. The paper is seriously deficient in terms of the quantity of work it represents. It is not strongly relevant to the course. Does not have a works cited page and scarce use of research materials.

The paper represents a substantial amount of work. The topic is strongly relevant. It has a works cited page with proper formatting. Uses substantial research materials. The paper represents exceptionally thorough and careful work. The topic is deeply relevant. It has a works cited page with proper formatting and uses research materials to a greater extent. The paper is significantly below what we expect in a college course. D (= 1 point) The paper satisfies the minimum standard. The paper represents solid, credible and very good work. The paper is superior to the majority. C (= 2 points) B (= 3 points) A (=4 points, perfect score) “A” & “B” PAPERS Substantially exceeds minimum standards: it is clear from the structure and development of the essay that the ultimate number of pages produced is the result of a logical pursuit of an explicit thesis that has been defended and supported by documented evidence, and not the result of a literal observance of the barest specified requirements. Characteristics: copious quotations from the reading, complete and lucid definition of terms, extended and logical development of themes and ideas under scrutiny, consistent use of detailed examples from the films or works under discussion, abundant evidence that the reading is being integrated and supplementary research sources are being employed––a rich, extended, textured, and nuanced presentation. . "C" PAPER Meets minimum standards: a passing, acceptably competent fulfillment of the assignment. Characteristics: sparce quotations, limited employment of the reading assignment, abbreviated definition of terms, superficial development of themes or concepts, skeletal discussion of allied topics or implications, little documentation or support of generalities or assertions through the use of examples from the films or works under discussion, no indication that additional reading was accomplished or research sources were consulted, a generally thin and barren presentation. . “D or N/A” [not acceptable] Does not satisfy minimum class standards: a paper clearly incompatible with literate communication. Characteristics: extensive and pervasive mechanical, grammatical, spelling, syntactical, structural errors; sloppiness, clearly no attempt at proofreading or revision; non-responsiveness to the content, directions, or guideline requirements of the assignment.

Historical Film Analysis
The film Reds details the historical events that occurred during the Russian Revolution in
1917. It was an epic film that highlighted the American communists and the Bolsheviks
revolution. The story in the film depicts the highly ambitious and radical reporters who fell in
love and went after their beliefs. The movie shows how their life was involved in the Communist
movement and their interest in Communism at a time when the nations were not at best of terms.
The radical nature of the two individuals is also reflective of the events that occurred in Russia at
that time. John Reed and Louise Bryant were radical journalists. The film offers a great storyline
that intertwines the love story between these two individuals who came to witness a major
historical event that shaped world history. Moreover, the film brings in some witnesses of the
Revolution who sheds some insights though controversial. They still play a big role in the buildup to the historical event that occurred in 1917. The story is a real one that depicted journalist
John Reed's life in the run-up to the revolution.
The first half of the film covers the rise of Reed to prominence and the affair that he had
with feminist Louise Bryant. The second part of the film highlights the practical realities of life
after the revolution. The film Reds (1981) delivers a first -hand account narrating the life of
Reed, who was a journalist. The events that occurred in Russia form the major part of this
analysis. The Russian Revolution is among the notable political events in history. It was violent

and saw the end of the imperial rule. A leftist leader, V. Lenin, took over after destroying the
traditional czarist rule. His group was known as the Bolsheviks, who became known as the
Communist Party. This paper will offer an analysis of the events that occurred during this period.
The film's events will be related to reality.
Development of the Conflict
The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917, a time when the Bolsheviks took over power
in Petrograd. The issues are leading to the revolution developed for generations. The impacts of
the revolution were far-reaching. For instance, the Communist Party led until 1991. Reed got
excited at the prospect of a socialist revolution in America. The underlying issues highlighted in
the movie all seem to lean towards fighting for the rights of the people and calling for freedom.
This is reflective of the issues that plagued the Russians and led them to the revolution. In the
film, there are instances that highlight the issues that caused the Revolution to occur. People held
meetings that were a forum for discussing their plight. The 1917 revolution arose due to a
number of long-term causes.
Poverty
One of the causes was the poverty. Most of the population in Russia were peasants living
in farms and small villages. Their way of living had gone down. The state of agriculture was
poor in the nation, as they used outdated farming techniques. The widespread illiteracy, as well
as lack of capital, contributed to a lack of progress. In the film, there are scenes that depict this
state. The train scenes and the meetings displayed this state. Families struggled to eke a living.
Their way of life sharply contrasted with those that owned massive lands. They were mostly
members of the Russian upper class. It was different in the western and southern areas of the vast

Russian empire as a large number of peasants were reasonably well-off and had big commercial
farms. The resulting effect was the growth of disaffected peasants who were angry at the
attempts towards getting controlled by people who gained from the lands and never directly
worked in them (Wood). Most of the peasants loathed the developments outside vi...
