She gets it.
Kazan was an opportunist of the worst kind during the McCarthy era, taking out ads in the NYT and pandering to the now disgraced HUAC committee. If you want to see courage, watch Gary Cooper's testimony, and others who stood for american 1st amendment rights over the phony ravings of a drunken Senator. That DeNiro could have played a blacklisted director AND bring out Kazan for the award in '99 says he has no personal integrity regardless of what he actually believes.
Yes, but that may not have been a political statement.
