It's more like hollywoo propaganda.

The only reason movies like trumbo, argo and the artist get any attention at all is because they figuratively fellate writers, producers and studios
Trumbo is weird.
Like... the point of McCarthyism stories is usually about paranoia and neighbours, friends, brothers and colleagues turning on eachother with no evidence.
Trumbo literally was guilty so I don't know... the movie isn't really very interesting? I'd like to commend it for an unusual take on that part of history, but it does nothing with it?
Cranston is always value I guess.
I guess that's better than what I thought it was going to be...
Is it worth my 2 hours time or should I just finish my book instead
Nah, it's a pretty good film, check it out.
If you want a Marxist film watch "Idiots guide to ideology"
Worse than being propaganda, it's simply not very good.
It's a waste of time, user. Just check out one of Trumbo's films.
Maybe it's because I am not American so I didn't experience a time in my countries history with a huge communist scare that left its mark on my culture, but I really enjoyed Trumbo.
It's not the kind of movie I typically like but it had me engaged.
Why didn't McCarthy just execute the commies?
>trum
stopped reading there
Biopics are never created for rewatch value dumb fuck
>communist propaganda
>communism
This meme needs to die. No matter how hard faggots like you try to push it.
Maybe you should move to the Phillipines.
>I can't watch this because it will hurt my views
what are you, 12?
Did they execute the commies there?
I think it was more "free speech" and "Hollywood sucks its own dick" propaganda. There isn't too much leftist preaching, other than a scene where the lead tells his daughter that if you share your sandwich with a friend you're a communist and that's why communism is good. For the most part, the main message is that censoring political speech is bad and that Hollywood is really important and progressive and we should always listen to it.
Just a patriot that won't touch anything that undervalues democracy's roots. We adults tend to do this, you will learn when you'll grow up dear "Trump is not my pres"
It's frustrating. McCarthyism was bad, but Trumbo was literally a Stalinist.He called Stalin "the most democratic leader in the world". And he was a terrible person.
In 1939, he wrote an anti-war, pro Nazi book (the USSR and Germany had a nonaggression pact at the time). Then in 1941, when Germany attacked the USSR, not only did Trumbo take the book out of circulation, but any fan mail he got about the book from before that point was handed straight to the FBI, basically selling out his own "comrades".
Because holding a certain political belief isn't against the law. Also, most of the people McCarthy accused weren't even communists, let alone Soviet agents.
>neo cons teenager is too dumb to read up a bit of world history
Well colour me surprised
>you
>an adult
No kid, you're afraid of communism. Watching Nazi films will not transform you into a nazi or capeshit films will not transform you into a superhero. If you're a teenager you will watch Fight Club and the movie will make you want to spread anarchism, if you're an adult, the movie will have no effect on you.
>Trump is not my pres
stop with that Sup Forums, just watch the movie
> Hit me in the cock again you dirty commie and i'll bury ya'
No. McCarthy found commies and it was justified when classified documents were leaked. Go on a commie hunt and find commies. What a a novel idea.
>the commies
Humour me, shitposter, what do you think is communism and who do you think are 'commies'?
You know, people from Columbia. Commies.
Such a weak joke, but I laughed anyway
its not an amalgam of trump and columbo, solving murders and firing people?
