Apparently my last review of this film was offensive----so much for freedom of speech. If you are winning an argument with a leftist, their response is to silence you.
But Warner Brothers and Time Warner, long known for their leftist politics (i.e. CNN, Ice-T's "Cop Killer" et al.), amazingly tried to sell the Rosenbergs as poor victims of "McCarthyism". The Rosenbergs were guilty! No less than an American icon like the great Eisenhower sentenced them to their demise.
Arthur Miller (who was by the way, a member of the CPUSA) attempted to convince the gullible that "The Crucible" was an allegory for McCarthyism. Well, the only problem with that analogy was that there WERE Communists working in our government (i.e. Alger Hiss) unlike "The Crucible" where there weren't any witches.
James Woods has to be one of my favorite American actors. I read an article on him once and he told the interviewer what his impressive SAT score was. Along those lines, he is intelligent enough to make his own political decisions, and doesn't follow the other misinformed Hollywood crowd like sheep.
His work in this film was exemplary. I wish he gets an Oscar one day.
