i be a huge fan of legendary director elia kazan . his movie often deal with people try to overcome their weakness . be it obsessive love in splendor in the grass and poverty in a tree grow in brooklyn or racism in gentlemen agreement . while look for other movie make by kazan and i stumble across a movie that be base on a novel by arthur miller . the movie call focus star william h. macy ( who happen to be one of my favorite actor ) and laura dern . it deal with anti semitism in a very realistic way . macy character seem to go along with the bigot in his neighborhood and on his job and until it affect him personally . that the key here . the reason he act wasn not because he know it be wrong and he want to take a stand and he act because he be now consider an outsider and and he begin to experience the same look and the same remark and and the same brutally that mr. finklestein ( david pamyers ) experience . the movie be very well write and well act . meat loaf do a awesome job of play a dirt bag . both macy and dern performance be outstanding . it easier in life to go along with and instead of go against . sometimes in order for people to take a stand thing have to impact their life and or the life of their loved one . only then will some find their moral compass .
