I saw "Cradle Will Rock"

I saw “Cradle Will Rock” last night – it may be the best movie I have ever seen. The movie explores the revolutionary nature of art through the mostly true and truly incredible stories of a pro-labor play created through the Federal Theatre Project (a New Deal program which provided work for thousands of unemployed professional entertainers) and Diego Rivera’s commissioned mural for the new Rockefeller Center. Featuring consistently outstanding performances by an ensemble cast of known and less or unknown actors, the movie feels like theater. Offering profound layered insights into issues of class, power and art, the movie demonstrates the revolutionary potential of art.
