A terrible film ! Bad acting ! Poor script ! Another Hollywood political film which promotes an alien ideology.
Best movie of the year to date. Great story, great acting.
Pro-communist dogma !
NOT a good movie. The producer & writers have distorted views of history !
The person who called a reviewer a ' right-wing zealot ' shows himself to be a typical left-winger. I noted that instead of attacking the message he attacked the messenger.
How much money has this pro-communist film taken in ? I note that it not listed in the top 10 !
If I could give it more stars I would. It’s a riveting movie, which everyone who doesn’t know about the dark days of the witch-hunt known as the House Un-American Activities Committee, should see. Brilliant acting by all -- a screenplay that Dalton Trumbo himself would admire. In parts, it is funny, scary, compelling and illuminating. This is what movies are all about. I loved it.
One of the best movies that I've seen in a long time. This movie is just as relevant now as the subject was in the 1950's. Just substitute Syrian refugees for communists and you'll see what I mean. We should never succumb to hyped up fear because the populace is being played to prop up or benefit a few!
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.
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.
