Trumbo

Trumbo is a solid film.

It covers a fascinating true story of a screenwriter living in Hollywood (Dalton Trumbo) during the 1950s when communism was the then terrorism- the biggest, most villinised threat to the Western world. He is targeted, career destroyed and a view on communism i had never been taught of before was revealed, that at the time many people viewed it as a revolutionary political viewpoint, that it was seen as a force against the unjustified imbalance of power at the time. Hollywood has only ever portrayed communism as an evil mass that threatened to take over the world before being defeated by the Western world. This film offers a different viewpoint and an, arguably, more interesting one.

Bryan Cranston pulls off this character with unbelievable style and forces the film into a light where I believed every moment. It was decent. But like many films set during this time it did struggle in places, it was slow in places, and i was somewhat bored in places. But despite this i still respect it with unbelievable heights.

In a sentence: Yeah, it was pretty decent.
