How the Red Scare Created a Hollywood Blacklist

Many Hollywood writers, actors, producers, and directors were suspected of Communists in the 1930s and 1940s. During this period communism was a popular political movement among the US, especially the young liberals. Communism is increasingly afraid of attacks on American society. By the end of the Second World War, the event called "red panic" was increasingly afraid of Communism and was hated by many Americans. With the Hollywood blacklist, the Hollywood industry suffered much from its business and reputation.

Just a few years ago, the blacklist was established in commemoration of the 50th anniversary. Fifty years after the black list, Hollywood is commemorating the life writer who was involved in witch hunting in the age of red fear. Nevertheless, for decades, not all wounds have healed, and Hollywood's top ten two surviving members are still mad at their role in naming Congressional investigators It is. We began to understand "Hollywood Top Ten", which was sentenced to imprisonment for the contempt of parliament because he refused to tell the House that the activities committee other than the United States is a member of the Communist Party, the writer and writer It was. Studio blacklist refused to admit and doubt the employment of party members. Recently, Hollywood apologized to the victims for using the 50th anniversary of the recent blacklist. It also cheers for a few survivors and adds momentum to the resurgence of filmmaker's personal credit being forced to conceal their identity to place bread on the table.

Another troubling symptom of Red Panic is the Hollywood blacklist designed by the American Congress (which is itself a paradox). Hollywood Blacklist (or Hollywood 10) consists of ten American script writers and directors who are the current members of the Communist Party or former members. In October 1947, in front of activists outside the US, everyone refused cooperation, they were charged with trials and charged for a crime (voting against conviction was overwhelmed by 34 people from 176 people). Everyone was sentenced to 6 years from imprisonment for 1 year, everyone was blacklisted, and I have not worked in Hollywood for many years. Some people use pseudonyms or post their works using friends (called "forefront"). Top 10 lists include Herbert Beaverman, Albert Marz, Leister Call, Dalton Tranbo, John Howard Lawson, Alba Bessie, Samuel Ornitz, Ring Ladner Jr, Edward, Dmitrik, Adrian Scott is. Red panic changed all this, but not good
