      We should do all the things we can't do

      Watching the movie on August 25, 2018

      The film tells the story of a famous Hollywood screenwriter, Trumbo, who was severely hostile and excluded during the Cold War in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s, and even went to prison without a job, and finally gained recognition through 10 years of hard work!

      We should do all the things we can't do

      This was the first sentence he said after he was released from prison!

      Trumbo

      All texts are only for personal quick review of the film, without any in-depth analysis, for recording purposes. Please click to close the page, don't waste your time.

      The United States in the late 1940s claimed to be the embodiment of freedom. Trump and his followers had their own beliefs and values, which were inconsistent with the political views of the time. They began to confront the overall situation with an optimistic attitude. In the end, Trump Bo was jailed for contempt...

      If "I" were Trumbo

      If "I" were Trumbo, in the age of McCarthyism, "I" would classify my persecution and the suspension of my career as "bad luck." I will find a suitable outlet for me to give up on my own initiative, and end my life with anxiety and depression.

      Fortunately, Trumbo is not "me". Otherwise, there is no chance to see this film.

      Yes, if I have to compare the era I am in, I think that the era I live in is impetuous, but it is not too bad, at least I still have the right to autonomy and...

      Those who are not defeated by setbacks

      Trumbo is presented from a biographical point of view. This kind of person is too tm. A screenwriter who has his own ideals of struggle and became the Communist Party, but was excluded, blacklisted, imprisoned, and received all kinds of indifference. For this type of writer, many people would choose suicide many writers), like many of his friends. But he didn't do it.

      He was angry, but he didn't give up at all because he had family, friends to take care of, and he needed money. So I...

      There is nothing new under the sun

      I don't know anything about the history of Trumbo, so I watched it with gusto, only to know that he was the playwright of Roman Holiday and Spartacus. Why do you say that there is nothing new under the sun? It turns out that the great United States also went through such a period of time. Set up enemies, find dissidents, political persecution, framed and convicted.

      If it's not Trumbo, but the dude with lung cancer, what chance is there? Or from another point of view, in fact, it was...

      Better than spotlight, 0.5 more. I finally got a positive vindication of this dark Hollywood history. I saw a lot of Hollywood behind-the-scenes names, and I laughed when I saw Douglas complaining about Kubrick. Although the political factor makes people more enthusiastic, it is actually more about Trumbo's love for the screenwriter that he can persevere. It's so touching to see him sitting in the bathtub and writing...

    Movie plot

    The film tells the screenwriter Dalton Trumbo ( Bryan Cranston ) since entering Hollywood in the 1930s, he has dedicated classic works such as "Roman Holiday", "Exodus", and "Spartacus". Behind the honor, Trumbo's career was very bumpy. He was persecuted by the Commission for Non-American Activities (HUAC) in the late 1940s , was fired by MGM in 1950, and went to jail. After he was released from prison, he was blacklisted by the...

    Evaluation action

    The film has been recognized by most European and American film critics, especially Brian Cranston's superb performance, showing Trumbo's sense of humor and a series of hardships and struggles. (Sohu Entertainment Review
    From a film point of view, the film may be straightforward and well-formed, but this politically disturbed Hollywood past is worth telling. The film is also a meticulously crafted "Oscar seed" contestant, adapted...

    Movie quotes

    • Lucille Ball: This is Lucille Ball. All of us agree that the Constitution of the United States must be defended. But the way to do this is not by shutting up the man you disagree with. You must fight for his right to speak and be heard. All civil liberties go hand in hand. And when one goes, the others are weakened. Just as a collapse of one pillar in a house would endanger the whole structure.

    • John Wayne: You won't get any takers. Not here, anyway.

      Dalton Trumbo: Oh, why is that? All it says is that Congress has no right to investigate how we vote or where we pray, what we think, say or how we make movies. Hello, I'm Dalton Trumbo.

      John Wayne: Congress has the right to go after anything they think is a threat.

      Dalton Trumbo: Well, that's where we disagree and that's the point. We both have the right to be wrong.

    • Arlen Hird: Look, I know what I am. Okay? I want this whole country to be different, top to bottom. If I get what I want, nobody gets their own lake.

      Dalton Trumbo: Well, that would be a very dull life, don't you think?

      Arlen Hird: Yeah, for you. Not for the guys who built this. If I'm wrong, tell me, but ever since I've known you, you talk like a radical. But you live like a rich guy.

      Dalton Trumbo: That is true.

      Arlen Hird: Well, I don't know that you're... I don't think you're willing to lose all of this just to do the right thing.

      Dalton Trumbo: [scoffs] Well, I despise martyrdom and I won't fight for a lost cause. So you're right. I'm not willing to lose it all. Certainly not them. But I am willing to risk it all. That's where the radical and the rich guy make a perfect combination. The radical may fight with the purity of Jesus. But the rich guy wins with the cunning of Satan.
