Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
Emile Francisco de Antonio (May 14, 1919 -- December 16, 1989) was an American director and producer of documentary films, usually detailing political or social events circa 1960s--1980s. About his films: https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=tra0c7-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e62aac4f49cbe55bf3116531f33e746b&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=dvd&keywords=emile%20de%20antonio He has been referred to by scholars and critics alike, and arguably remains, "...the most important political filmmaker in the United States during the Cold War." de Antonio was born in 1919 in in the coal-mining town of Scranton, Pennsylvania. His father, Emilio de Antonio, an Italian immigrant, fostered the lifelong interests of Antonio by passing on his own love for philosophy, classical literature, history and the arts. Although his intelligence allowed him the privilege of attended Harvard University alongside future-president John F. Kennedy, he was also familiar with the working class experience, making his living at various points in his life as a peddler, a book editor, and the captain of a river barge (among other duties). After serving in the military during World War II as a bomber pilot, de Antonio returned to the United States where he frequented the art crowd, often associating with such Pop artists as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol, in whose film Drink de Antonio appears. Warhol was famously quoted praising de Antonio with the words, "Everything I learned about painting, I learned from De." The book Necessary Illusions (1989) by Noam Chomsky and the documentary Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992) by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick are dedicated to Emile de Antonio.

Why so many dislikes on this one? Is it the typical youtoober with no attention span, no perspective on history, no interest in the real world, and finally: spoiled, pretentious video quality whores? Dunno.

One thing we need to keep in mind; Former Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy is DEAD! We are able to to tar and feather him because he is no longer with us to speak for himself. People like Mr. de Antonio, the Hollywood Ten, etc., are only presenting their subjective viewpoints; that Mr. McCarthy was wrong. Were any card-carrying, dyed-in-the-wool Communists exposed? Were any bona fide Communists deported? Did Mr. McCarthy do any real DAMAGE to the Communist Party? Let's see the WHOLE PICTURE
