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

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

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poor in the nation, as they used outdated farming techniques.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
