I could not help but get seriously contemplative and a little depressed when I watched this movie. Why? Because the corruption and scare tactics of our past government are still going on. And it could amplify and be like the era of McCarthyism all over again. Dalton Trumbo was a stubborn, crude, eccentric, genius, it's true, but his courage and moral strength is admirable. His words sum it up for me:
"The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people."
This film has an excellent score, witty dialogue, and is timely. Plus Bryan Cranston is amazing.
