Indeed, only the first half-hour of this film is focused on Zola&#8217;s meteoric rise from a penniless artist sharing quarters with his childhood friend Paul Cezanne (Vladimir Sokoloff) to a best-selling author who appears to have &#8220;sold out&#8221; and settled into a life of comfort and riches. At this point, we abruptly switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dreyfus_affair\">the Dreyfus Affair<\/a>, and viewers unfamiliar with this historical travesty may well wonder what&#8217;s going on with the film&#8217;s pacing and narrative focus. Naturally, Zola steps up to save the day &#8212; where else could the story be headed? &#8212; and is appropriately honored as a hero. <\/p>\n<p>Peary doesn&#8217;t discuss this movie in <em>GFTFF<\/em>, but in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em> he admits that while &#8220;Muni was terrific&#8221; as a &#8220;man with the courage of his sometimes foolhardy convictions&#8221;, the &#8220;film [he] loved so much as a kid is quite tiresome today&#8221;, and he questions how the Academy could consider &#8220;honoring this biography in which there is no <em>verbal<\/em> mention that Alfred Dreyfus was Jewish.&#8221; Along those lines, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s1512zola.html\">DVD Savant<\/a> writes in his review: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At only one point in <em>The Life of Emile Zola<\/em> is Alfred Dreyfus identified as Jewish, and I&#8217;ll bet that the writers and producers of the movie had to fight to keep that reference, seen only as a fleeting word on a statistical blotter. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Life-of-Emile-Zola-Jew.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Life-of-Emile-Zola-Jew.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Life-of-Emile-Zola-Jew.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Life-of-Emile-Zola-Jew-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Life-of-Emile-Zola-Jew-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe script emphasizes the incompetence and corruption in the French general staff but barely touches on the heinous anti-Semitism that was at the heart of the Dreyfus affair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll agree that even a brief glimpse of the words &#8220;Religion: Jew&#8221; on a piece of paper &#8212; after which Dreyfus is accused of a crime without any evidence &#8212; remains a minor but laudible gamble on the part of the filmmakers at a time when European anti-semitism was so rampant.
