This film tells the story of an excellent scriptwriter who was persecuted during the cold war for his political inclination. He became jobless and broke, yet he works around the hysterical system and live to see justice.
It is particularly sad to see that people were persecuted for their non mainstream belief. Fuelled by propaganda, people suffered without justifiable reasons. This story concentrates on one individual who suffered needlessly. He stands up to persecution with courage, but without resorting to violence or criminality. It's a tale of a respectable man fighting a war that he has little odds of winning. The story is interesting, and it is particularly satisfying when Trumbo finally gets the recognition he deserves. I think this film will help to remind people of the dangers of intolerance, as well as crediting a great writer.
