Description
"Daniel" is a 1983 American drama film directed by Sidney Lumet and based on the novel of the same name by E. L. Doctorow. The film stars Timothy Hutton in the titular role of Daniel Isaacson, a young man who discovers that his parents were executed as spies during the McCarthy era in the United States.
The film is set in the 1960s and tells the story of Daniel's quest to uncover the truth about his parents' past. His parents, played by Mandy Patinkin and Lindsay Crouse, were members of the Communist Party and were accused of being Soviet spies. They were executed for their alleged involvement in espionage, leaving Daniel and his sister Susan (played by Amanda Plummer) to grow up without them.
As Daniel delves into his family's history, he becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the details of their lives and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. His journey leads him to confront painful truths about his parents, his own identity, and the political climate of the time.
"Daniel" is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film that explores themes of family, loyalty, and the consequences of political ideologies during a turbulent period in American history. Sidney Lumet, the director of the film, was known for his skill in tackling complex and socially relevant subjects in his work. He had a distinguished career in filmmaking, with numerous acclaimed films to his name, including "12 Angry Men," "Network," and "Dog Day Afternoon." In "Daniel," Lumet's direction brings a sense of depth and authenticity to the characters and their struggles, making it a compelling and memorable film.
