'Trumbo' resurrects Hollywood's darkest chapter

The sequel will be "Trumpo", and will talk about the American political system's darkest chapter.

Saw this film at a screening a couple of weeks ago -- enjoyed it very much. The cast is in top form and the story told with wit, intelligence, and a heavy dose of irony. The scene of the confrontation between Trumbo and John Wayne elicited well deserved applause from the audience. This is a film worth seeking out.

With a great story to be told and Bryan Cranston starring, this sounds very good. Trumbo's 'Johnny got his gun' still haunts me.

So...the hero of this story is a man who willingly joined the Communist Party, which regularly took its orders from a foreigner (the murderer Joseph Stalin: witness the about face the ACP's "anti-facsist" members had to quickly adjust to when Stalin suddenly aligned his "socialism in one country" nation with...fascist Hitler's Germany!) and which was dedicated to the overthrowal of a sovereign nation's democratically elected government by whatever means necessary!?

Rather than admit that he was actually a card-carrying communist, Trumbo made a "heroic" stand and plead the fifth. Wow~it's almost as if he wasn't actually guilty of the very charges those "fascists" in the US Senate accused him of being, right? Almost....

What a hero! Next, we'll hear about how underground members of ISIS should be lauded for trying to bring down democracies worldwide and impose their fanatical law...oh, wait, sorry: ISIS is "rightist" so shouldn't be lionized like Communists like Trumbo, right, Hollywood??
