(spoiler) So, I got the impression that
the members of the communist enclave became that way because the old Hollywood studio system had exploited them.
shareAbsolutely... Or so that was their shared ideology of course. But as always, the Coens portrayed everyone as comically as possible. The entire lead up of Whitlock waking to the Vacuum hitting the door, the lady, the bickering inside... Classic stuff. It was told in a way to embrace the stereotypes that Hollywood has. The Coens lean left but they're very moderate guys overall and they had fun with the entire idea. It's one of my favorite scenes in the film.
