  I agree with the last reviewer: what Hollywood needs are more right wing zealots to tell us all how to live. Only then can we build a society where the best of us rule and free thinkers no longer exist.

  I find it amusing to read the diatribes against this film. There was no Commissar for the Communist Party, there were just naïve people who took the name Communist (look up it's real definition) and applied it to their thinking. People have a right to have different ideaologies and not be persecuted for it. The review that said we should institute the HUAC once again is a traitor...to the first amendment and to true American values. The American, French, English, etc. Communists had NOTHING in common with their Russian counterparts who, themselves, perverted the real meaning of Communism. The American version was Socialism, which we do have in our society today: Police, firemen, garbage

  Hollywood is still sticking to the party line. Dalton Trumbo was a member of the Communist Party which advocated the violent overthrow of the US Government, and all Democracies. In short Dalton Trumbo was a traitor to his country and all he received was several months in jail for his egregious crimes. He was the Communist's Commissar in Hollywood spreading communist propaganda. Yet, here is Hollywood today still pedling their mis/dis-information about the real nature of the 'Hollywood 10'. In my mind the US Congress should institute yet another HUAC and permanently rid Hollywood of these Leftists. Which one of the 'Hollywood 10' ( and others ) will they be glamorizing / lionizing next ? They seem incapable of making a film without politizing it with left-wing propaganda.

  Great movie about a very disturbing time in American history. Worth the ticket price just for the scene with John Goodman. Helen Mirren also turns in an excellent performance as Hedda Hopper. Actually, the entire cast was incredibly good. We enjoyed the movie very much, and find that it sticks with us today. So good to see a movie with something to say that says it well when so much screen time is devoted to comic books.

  I felt that Bryan Cranston over acted a little, although I never heard the real Dalton Trumbo (I guess if I'd never heard Truman Capote, I'd think Mr. Hoffman was over acting too ). Anyway, I found the film interesting if not a little disturbing due to the convenient timing of it's political message. The world is a different place now and today's political correctness endorses the current witch hunt against anyone who stands against socialism and it's gradual but masked erosion of democracy. And to think I was a liberal most of my life.... that is until I stopped allowing myself to be misinformed.

  A very interesting movie. I had vague knowledge of the witch hunt of the House Un-American Activities Committee back in the late 40s. I really admire Trumbo's conviction in not betraying his friends. Bryan Cranston is brilliant in this movie, he is so convincing and a great actor.
