It was interesting to watch the audience reaction at the Academy Awards presentation of his Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999. You could really tell who the commie sympathisers are.

My take is this: that in the end it was not about who ratted out whom, it was the aftermath----- exposing all of the Hollywaste liberals as knaves, cowards and sniveling fools.

They were proud of being Commies----it didn't bother them being named---but they were concerned that their liberal bona fides went bust.

They all turned on each other and began eating their own.

To the world around them, they looked not like tolerant and compassionate liberals, but like a bunch of savage cannibals.

"..audience reaction at the Academy Awards presentation of his Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999. You could really tell who the commie sympathisers are."

Isn't it interesting that they fall all over themselves supporting the Tookie's and Roman Polanski's of the world, yet couldn't (and wouldn't) give Kazan anything more than sub-polite applause. Moral to the story being, they don't like people who tell the truth. They never have.

For 14 years, I had quite a lot of exposure to the So. California "film community." On the basis of that, I think many of those people are well beyond being 'commie sympathizers.' I believe they are the real thing.
