Stars Mr. Warren Beatty and the lovely Ms. Diane Keaon
This is a nicely done1280 x 720 convert from bluray source files 1380k video bitrate
nice 256k stereo audio track .Lovely picture quality. It does offers a far superior picture
quality certainly to our 1.3GB standard definition version (which has been successful for
many years now too) when viewed on an HD TV like the 720p Sony we viewed both on
to compare.
Reds is the beautiful accomplishment of Mr. Warren Beatty. It is certainly one
of the greatest of all time movies ever made.
The idea of this movie is to portray the spirit of American "intellectuals"
of the era of when communism was a force the world had yet to come to terms with.
Although this interest was well intended it must be kept in mind that communism
is cruel to the human spirit and is no real answer to our concerns for the
appropriate sharing of resources as each must be given according to his true needs
- his needs for justice, fairness, and the recognition of his true worth relatively
speaking, even amongst his own kinfolk, on the basis of true merit overall.
Without this, the human spirit starts to suffer and begins to wither away.
Thank goodness that this nightmare has come to an end, and more socially
responsible means must now be found for a better allocation of resources
amongst our own folks in a spirit of true Christianly kindness without losing
sight of merit of individual contribution and worthiness in this respect.
Yet - people of Russia have survived, and there is a beautiful spirit that
yearns to join with its kindred spirits in other parts of Europe and elsewhere -
even Australia I should think! It is time to reach out to our folks there and
to help make Russia a vibrant part of a future European union based on real
compatibilities that do exist I believe here compared to elsewhere perhaps
Russia has much to teach from its experiment with communism - there is
a spirit of family and of care for the larger community - as humans of worth
always do their best to strive for real meaning amidst whatever difficulties
we have had to endure in what has been our existence on this earth thus far.
The spirit of communism must end - but not the spirit of willing to share and care
amidst our own, in our communities in a spirit of true Christianly kinship
with adequate care and regard for our societies overall, and in consideration
of all we are able to contribute to make for a better place in which to live,
collectively in fact - as that is always how it should be - in a real sense
for that matter.

PS We also plan to launch an H.264 1080p version of this movie within a week
or so I expect.
