This is a movie released in 1991. Based on true events in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s. De Niro plays a director, David Merry.
In the United States in 1950, under the deceit of Senator McCarthy, a wave of anti-communism was launched in the United States. First and foremost is Hollywood.

I recently watched Guilty By Suspicion. This movie was unpopular, but it was very good. It gave me a history of exclusion/persecution of (suspected) communists in Hollywood that I was not familiar with before.

It must be five stars, such a meaningful film is so deserted. Think of it as the persecution of power, not irrelevance. As long as the sovereignty of all democracy is greater than human rights, it can be shattered in an instant. It is not worth mentioning. Battle of this...

David Merrill: Upset? Why should I be upset? You've only ruined my life. Why should I be upset?

David Merrill: You asked me how I'm doing. You wanna know how I'm doing? I can't get a job... can't get a job. All my friends - gone. I'm being followed by the FBI everywhere I go. I lost my house. I can't even buy my son a bike for Christmas.

David Merrill: I'm a filmmaker. That's all I am, I don't know what else to do. What the hell do they think I'm gonna do? Blow all the bridges if the Red Army comes invading Manhattan?
