Playing dumbo with history


Trumbo (2015)

Directed by Jay Roach this film based on real events stars Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Hellen Mirren and Louis C. K. Following WW2 a communist writer in Hollywood finds himself on the blacklist.

It seems that the makers of this film did not let a little thing like historical accuracy get the way of the story which is a real shame. As always Hollywood is more interested in being self congratulatory rather than focusing on the darker sides of it's own history. There are some fun parts to this film but in the face of real events it is hard to praise this one.

2/5
