this is about John Reed, right? The guy that road with Poncho Villa and wrote "Insurgent Mexico" as he covered that Civil War from the front line?

That is an interesting man. That is a daring man. Agree with his politics or not, that is someone that a movie SHOULD be made about.

But this isn't about "Insurgent Mexico" it's about his other book, "10 Days that Shook the World," the book where he wrote about something that he didn't really understand completely and was denied witness to, well, horrific mass killings.

But, you know the Russian Revolution is EXTREMELY interesting isn't it?...
