Jay Roach is well-known for making comedy films. The two series "Ace Spy" and "Meet Father-in-Law" have long become classics and leaders in comedy films. Not only that, He also dabbles in political comedies. The 2013 "Rule Change" will directly lead to the failure of McCain’s election in 2000. Sarah Palin was satirical from head to toe. At the same time, he also won the best Three Emmy Awards for director, best actress and best screenwriter.


"Trombo" has the usual characteristics of Jay Roach's works. The structure is compact and the rhythm is lively. At the same time, it also integrates the ridiculous drama and political comedy of the previous work. Not only is the plot rich, but also full of relaxed and humorous details, successfully getting rid of the suspicion of deliberate preaching.


Screenwriter John McNamara is based on the biography of Trumb by Bruce Alexander Cook, but he does not focus on how Trumb has created those familiar classics. , But set up three main story lines, interspersed with the friendship between Trumb as a member of the "Hollywood Ten Case" and other filmmakers, misunderstandings and conflicts with his wife and children, and after being put on the Hollywood blacklist How to create anonymously, I finally met Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger, two brave and justice heavyweights who helped each other. In this way, Trumb's image becomes rich and varied, full of drama, but without losing depth.


Of course, the contribution of Bryan Cranston, whose real name is about to be forgotten by Chinese fans, is undoubtedly the contribution of the film. The sculpting between the pronunciation of Trumbeau and the gestures made Brian · Cranston (or "Lao Bai" chanting smoothly) is not easy to detect but meticulously shows a series of changes and unshakable perseverance after the drastic changes in life. He is completely the old man who is funny, wise, paranoid, and tenacious, relying on his pen against the whole world.


In this year's awards season, there is another movie "Bridge of Spy" on the theme of ideology and fate. Although the proposition and theme are different, the background is a gray age shrouded in the shadow of a huge iron curtain. Such a story is not only the tragedy of a few people, but the fate of the entire era. When the lost wall and iron curtain were broken, and when the haze and darkness receded, we could always hold on to the courage and hope to live. Perhaps this is the most powerful force that we are born with.
