Are you now or have you ever been...punk'd?
My class on noir was discussing Abraham Polonsky's Roce of Evil and the fate of Polonsky and star John Garfield when they were called in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. The film's wonderful and the HUAC story is heartbreaking and infuriating but it got me thinking. Thinking about something random and bizarre.
What, in these conservative times, Congress set up a committee to find out those in Hollywood who could be undermining the United States by belonging to certain political groups. What would happen if the Republicans called Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Ritchie, Jessica Alba or directors Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson to testify on the what they have seen in the dark corners of the Hollywood Hills? Would the relationship of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vuaghn still stand after Vaughn rats out Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller? What kind of episode of Entourage could this make?
So yeah..people's lives were ruined fifty years ago and then I go and write a silly post about it on the internet. Welcome to Hell.
