Robbin's movie is a brilliant mix of accurate history, fiction, telescoping, and "might have been"/"should have been". Hallie Flanagan's testimony is taken from the Congressional records Robbin's mix of truth and fiction presents a truer, better story than accurate historical truth, a story with a more universal theme.
@theman8398 'The Cradle Will Rock' is Orson Welles' brilliant 1937 theatre production, 'Cradle Will Rock' is Tim Robbins' 1999 film production that contains his presumptuous interpretation of past events, laced with his condescending partiality.
Cherry Jones is brilliant

This is one of my favorite films.

@RobGoth100 You've summed it up well. It's just Tim Robbins growling to the wind again.
