excellent for then and now

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2006)

This is probably the most current event film that could have been made while it is about the 50-ies and McCarthy witch hunt of communists. Seems like every decade has its own hunters and witches as it clearly has some touching points on the current events in the world regarding the Muslims. America and some other countries in the west like the Netherlands don't seem to learn from the past and have no problem persecuting, jailing or just accusing without evidence of people without regards of any law, like freedom of religion. Who's next? The protestant? As a Christian myself I would hate to think what would happen if these people get to finish their work without any checks from the media, journalist or just common people saying there bit for freedom in this world.
The acting in this movie was excellent and therefore I give it 8 out of 10. The fear of persecution and the difficult choices which had to be made where portrayed very well by the actors in this movie while also the choices and the consequences where portrayed. This movie is a must see if only to see what we can learn from that period of time.
