The film "Daniel" is a drama released in 1983, directed by Sidney Lumet. The movie is based on the novel "The Book of Daniel" by E.L. Doctorow and explores the controversial and politically charged themes of the Cold War era, McCarthyism, and the impact of political ideology on a family's life.
The story revolves around the eponymous character, Daniel Isaacson, portrayed by Timothy Hutton, who is the son of American communist activists. The film delves into the consequences of his parents' radical beliefs and actions during the 1940s and 1950s on Daniel and his sister Susan, played by Amanda Plummer. When their parents are arrested and executed as Soviet spies, Daniel and Susan are left to grapple with the stigma and trauma associated with their family's past.
"Daniel" presents a thought-provoking and emotionally charged narrative that delves into themes of identity, family, and the political turmoil of the era. Sidney Lumet's direction, combined with strong performances by the cast, including Mandy Patinkin, Lindsay Crouse, and Edward Asner, creates a compelling and poignant portrayal of a family torn apart by ideology and the aftermath of their parents' actions.
The film received critical acclaim for its exploration of the moral and emotional complexities of its characters and the historical context in which they lived. It remains a notable entry in Sidney Lumet's filmography and a thought-provoking examination of the personal and political consequences of radical beliefs during a turbulent period in American history.
