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!

When other screenwriters suggested giving up and looking for someone else's job, he went head-to-head, wrote in someone else's name, and gave them 28 points for the money.

In the end, it cannot be kept, and the times are developing. Finally, 10 years later, his name appeared on the film for the first time. Since then, he has been removed from the blacklist and regained his freedom!

Ten years, think about it, how long have you insisted on something that you think is right? How long have you been fighting?

    Under the dark scenes of anti-communism in Hollywood, a leftist writer used a pen as a weapon to say no to banning and persecution. The film was made smoothly, but the legendary first made its mark. Who would have thought that there is such a story behind "Roman Holiday"! The villain played by Grandma Helen makes people shudder, and Lao Bai teaches Xiao Li another lesson: the old drama bones are reliable.
