VIVA A LIBERDADE - I saw the film in full. A picture that shows one period of history that we must not forget. America's Freedom fought for this freedom that made America (USA).
@FigurinItOut I felt the same way. He is such a fascinating subject and all the straight documentary stuff was perfect, but the actors "emoting" over his quotes just felt overwrought. I would have preferred if they just put the quotes up on the screen for us to read. I wanted the definitive movie on the Blacklist, but this will have to do.
I had the privilege of seeing the movie "Trumbo", and became aware of the weaknesses Hollywood had during the fear-based mentality that was happening during the "red scare" and how the government was just as responsible in manipulating the public through fear as it is to this day. A pity such wise writers, standing up for their rights were so ostrasized,(sp). We lost a great many stories that could have been told from the "10".
Looks like a great movie. And It leads very nicely into the story of Edward de Vere coming out this fall.

I had mixed feelings about this movie. I liked the documentary footage and interviews, but the actors' monologues were a bit awkward.

I read about him in the book Red Scare. He was brilliant and honorable: just the opposite of the clowns in government he detested.
