Actually, the people Kazan named were already known by the committee and were either already blacklisted or would've been in the near future. IMO, I think it was a regretable and unfortunate situation for all of those film artists as well as a dark time for our country. Furthermore, I think we as film lovers suffered a great loss too because we will never know how many great films we were denied from those artists that were blacklisted. Some of those talented and creative people were just hitting their stride during that time.
