What Hollywood doesn't want to tell us is that WWII in Europe did not end in May of 1945, it continued until the early 1950s.

Hmmm, you may be right. I seem to remember that from the War Against the Jews but may be cornfused. I'll check my sources. Thanks.

So was The Inner Circle. Very disturbing movie.

I agree that this piece is worthy of reposting. When I first read it I thought it undoubtedly the best article I had ever read on Hollywood's aversion to the subject of communism's brutal, bloody, abysmal failure.

I've had the privilege of knowing some fine people who escaped the clutches and ravages of Communism - Greeks who survived the struggles in small villages there, Bulgarians, Serbs and Russians who left the madness of the Iron Curtain while it still existed. One of my favorite people on earth was a man who served in the Red Army on the Eastern Front during World War II, who managed to somehow get too far across American lines, and never got repatriated. He served in the US Army infantry as one of the ski jocks during the Korean War, became an American citizen, and although he never really commanded the English language that well, was the very model of gratefulness and generous nature for the remainder of his life.
I'll miss him a lot.

If you ever write some of his stories, I would like to read them.

And she has been lauded quite highly right here on FR this past week.
There's a great little scene in The Aviator where Howard Hughes rips into Kate Hepburn and her family for having enough money and affluence to afford to be Communists.
It's a wonder the scene made it in.

Thanks for bumping this post back to life. Its an important reminder of what Hollywood has become.
With the lovefest shown to Chavez and Castro its clear that the left will never confront their own crimes.

I want to dig out the old threads, they appear to have the important facts, that are slipping into history.
It feels good to see several people have come to read this, it should be read by all of us.
I will put a link on the World Terrorism thread and see if it stays alive.

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because Hollyweird has been a hot-bed of unrecontstructed marxists for a generation or more and they much prefer to create films that attack American Judeo-Christian values, than those which portray their foetid ideology as the nihilistic dead end that it is?

Thanks for the reply so many years later! I do remember that scene.
Howard Hughes...a fervent anti-communist I do believe. Leo Di Caprio...as far from Hughes in real life as you can get.
