On the Waterfront
The film focuses on union violence and corruption among longshoremen. There is a trade union mafia and brotherhood, as well as beliefs in gods and love. We can conclude: the power of a union leader is not determined by who is leading, but by who is followed.
The film is based on "Crime on the Waterfront" by Malcolm Johnson, a series of articles published in 1948 in the New York Sun. It stars Marlon Brando in the main role. This is a talented and beautiful film.
However, some researchers say that it is "an operatic-scale example of a Cold War melodrama that takes a target and demonizes [trade unions]." Director Murray Horwitz calls the film a tribute to a stool pigeon.
