SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Jithin K Mohan I wouldn't think this film anything less than an inspirational true story of a real-life hero. The failures of democracy in a country proclaiming everything about freedom shows the irony.

blumdeluxe "Trumbo" was rightfully nominated for some of the bigger film prizes. It tells the story of Trumbo, a writer for movie scripts, that is persuaded by the government and ends on a blacklist of Communists that aren't in the position to work as ordinary anymore.While I really enjoyed most of the movie and it kept me interested throughout the whole playtime, there are mainly two things that prevent this film from being even more powerful in my eyes. Firstly, even though the humor carries bigger parts of the movie and I like the fact that Trumbo is quick-witted, it would have been nice to see a broader variety of emotions. There must have been some situations throughout that time that really left him desperate or sad and you don't really see that in the movie.Secondly, it would have been nice to also see what this policy meant for more common people. A screenplay writer is in a quite distinguished position and I could imagine that someone working in a more "exchangeable" job could suffer even more from the tensions. Of course that's not the fault of the movie, since it only tells the story of Trumbo but it is a false image to think that all you have to be is a good worker to be granted justice.All in all it is a very good, but not an excellent movie. Good movie for a more serious film night.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Trumbo" (2015) is a very enjoyable movie about a legendary Hollywood writer Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted during the days for being a communist. Struggles he had during the period during which he wrote his arguably best movies are very involvingly, sometimes a bit movingly told. Writing of this movie was good as well as directing - the movie barely drags at running time 2 hours. But its the central performance by the great Bryan Cranston stand out in here - he embodies Trumbo in every sense (although i haven't see the real man of TV). Others were pretty good, but there are some performances of the famous movie legends that weren't that great in my opinion, like for example the actor who played young Kirk Douglas was just... not a Kirk Douglas - its more like a caricature then real performance.Overall, although some of the side performances in this movie looks like more of a caricatures, they aren't bad at all - it just shows how great lead acting B.Cranston in this movie is. And this is a good movie overall, the best biopic I've seen for sure, but a pretty entertaining one.

Lee Eisenberg I had heard of the Hollywood Ten for years, and about Dalton Trumbo's works. Jay Roach's "Trumbo" shows how the screenwriter got targeted after the US declared the USSR the enemy, and then spent a year in jail, unable to submit a script thereafter (so he had some people act as fronts for him). The blacklist continued for years as HUAC and Joe McCarthy targeted anyone whom they considered "anti-American".The movie should remind us of a few things. Trumbo and his cohorts (who served in the armed forces in WWII) attempt to remind people of the First Amendment, but the likes of John Wayne (who did NOT serve in the armed forces) won't hear of it. And nowadays, people like Chuck Norris claim that conservatives get blacklisted in Hollywood. For the record, there's no committee asking Kirk Cameron and his ilk "Are you or have you ever been a member of a right-wing entity?". Basically, the right wing is not a collection of fiscal conservatives, but a collection of racist, sexist, homophobic ideologues (the types who think that global warming is a hoax but creationism should get taught in schools). These people have become a literal threat to humanity, and it's bound to get even worse under the coming Donald Trump presidency.Anyway, the movie is something that everyone should see. Between this movie, "Breaking Bad" and "All the Way", Bryan Cranston has come a long way from "Malcolm in the Middle". With this movie and "All the Way", it nowadays seems like a surprise that Jay Roach directed the Austin Powers movies and the "Meet the Parents" movies. Really good movie.Also starring Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Michael Stuhlbarg, John Goodman, Helen Mirren, Louis C.K. and Alan Tudyk (the Duke of Weselton in "Frozen").A piece of trivia is that Dalton Trumbo and Kirk Douglas had the same birthday: December 9. To be certain, today is Douglas's 100th birthday.
