Max Eastman - Representation in Other Media

Representation in Other Media

  • Edward Herrmann portrayed Eastman in the film Reds (1981), starring Warren Beatty, which was based on the life of John Reed. Eastman's biographer, John Patrick Diggins, noted that it was ironic that Herrmann was cast as Eastman, who was known for his good looks, while the handsome Beatty portrayed Reed, who had a bookish appearance.
  • He was also portrayed in the 2012 TV movie Hemingway & Gellhorn by actor Mark Pellegrino, directed by Philip Kaufman.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
