I'm not going to say what was already said. Anyway, I loved Cradle Will Rock for it's subject matter. In a world of Scream, teen movies, and other junk, Cradle Will Rock had very refreshing subject matter. Although I didn't know much about the Federal Theater project, I enjoyed this movie. The musical numbers in this film were wonderful as well as the acting of the Cusacks, Vanessa Redgrave and Bill Murray.
I think that a person who likes theater will really be into this play. There's a lot of scenes that have us seeing them work up to opening night. I was very inspired that their hard work didn't go to waste despite it being shut down due to the communist paranoia. (You must see the movie to find out how they managed to hold the production.) But basically it was a great film. Made me appreciate the process of theater so much more, and made me sing the entire way!
