The film began in 1947, when Trombeau was only 42 years old, but Lao Bai's appearance was too old, and he looked fifty or sixty.
The film noir directed by Sam Wood and starring Edward G. Robinson, shot on the set at the beginning, made me find it easy. It turned out that it was made up in the film, shit, and the character played by Louis CK was not a real person. There is no drama conflict in the whole film. I haven't read the original work, and it's hard to say how well the adaptation is. The most interesting part is that Trombeau hired a group of blacklisted colleagues to be the gunmen for the B-level film company, together with two Bs. The boss of the film company is also a bright spot among the supporting roles, but unfortunately this episode is only a stop-gap. The film shows the "Hollywood Ten Gentlemen" incident and the uproarious McCarthyism era style is in place, but the plot to dig out the protagonist's personality is not enough. In addition, I feel that the contradiction between Trump and his wife and daughter can be removed, and more should be added to express his writing. The bridge of talent, after all, a person who can write both "Roman Holiday" and "Spartacus" and has won the National Book Award should not just sit in the bathtub and think hard. Although Lao Bai was nominated for an Oscar for his role as Trombeau, he felt that his performance had been overtaken-he performed forbearance and wisdom, but not sharp.
There is one thing I don’t know if it’s a bug: Edward G. Robinson sold a Van Gogh painting on the wall of his house in order to help ten gentlemen raise legal fees, and they met again a few years after Trombo was released from prison. At that time, the painting reappeared on the wall.
In addition to "Trump", other well-known movies about Hollywood blacklists include Woody Allen's "Defender" (directed by Martin Ritter), Robert De Niro's "Suspect", Kim · "Movie Life" starring Kerry.
Many years ago I bought an autobiography written by Ring Lardner Jr., who was also one of the ten gentlemen and a friend of Trumbeau. After watching this movie, I suddenly wanted to find out and read it. .
