Just watched the 2015 film Trumbo

[edhopper]

with Brian Cranston. He was quite the remarkable man.
But mainly it showed, and this is two years before our plunge into Trumpian Fascism, that the American Right has always been tyrannical and oppressive with little attachment to reality. The rail against non-existing threats while allowing true problems wallow without action.
That and Fuck John Wayne and Ronald Reagan.

A side note is that the recently departed Kirk Douglas helped end the Blacklist by hiring Dalto Trumbo to write Spartacus and giving him screen credit. He was a true hero.

1. Great movie. Yes, I thought about this when Douglas passed.

[UTUSN]

2. Great all around - movie, CRANSTON, Kirk, TRUMBO

[Frasier Balzov]

3. The Bridge on the River Kwai

was originally released without proper screenwriting credits due to the blacklist.

The restored version corrected that injustice.

4. It's a good film but his novel Johnny Get Your Gun is very powerful.

[edhopper]

5. Extremely

Had a big impact on me when I read it in college.

6. Also the movie he made from the book.
