James Dalton Trumbo was born on December 9, 1905 and died on September 10, 1976. American playwright and novelist. He was one of the "Hollywood Ten Gentlemen" who refused to testify in the (U.S. House of Representatives) Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) 1974 investigation into the impact of communism on the film industry. While being blacklisted, Trumbo won two Oscars, one for the writer on the screen, who was anonymized as the actual playwright, "Roman Holiday," and one for Robert Leigh. Qi, this is his pseudonym, "The Brave Man".
There are two concepts to add here.
First, how famous is Trumbo, the well-known "Roman Holiday", "Spartacus", "Exodus" and "The Brave Man" are all his works.
Second, what the hell is the Commission of Inquiry on Non-US Activities? To understand McCarthyism, in the United States after World War II, the shadow of war has not disappeared, and the atmosphere of the Cold War has shrouded in people's minds. The United States feared not only a Soviet attack, but also that dissidents would infiltrate the government and subvert the current American rule. "McCarthyism" fuels this fear. In 1947, following the continued efforts of the political bloc headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy, President Truman signed an order to conduct a security review of 2.5 million public servants in the United States, requiring them to take the "Oath of Loyalty" to clear the "hidden" in the country. Internal Communists. During that period, there was a horrific farce in the United States that frantically exposed the "enemy within".
Starring Bryan Cranston, referred to as Lao Bai, the Lao Bai in "Breaking Bad", is most suitable for acting as a middle-aged and elderly man who looks weak, aging and slow, but is a tough guy who is hard, strong and irreversible. Although it seems harmless to humans and animals, it has infinite energy, and it looks for the road one by one and goes to the dark.
The American people now watching such a film must feel that the world at that time was simply impossible to live, and there was no human rights at all; Trumbo was really a fighter for democracy. As a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, I really feel that Trump is really doing too much. At that time, the United States, which seemed to be centralized, still had its own bottom line. As a person in the cultural circle, if you look at Lao She by Weiming Lake, look at Fu Lei and his wife, and look at Solzhenitsyn on the Gulag Islands, you will understand what the real doomsday is.
In addition to the authorities' scrutiny and detention, ordinary Americans have also adopted an attitude similar to that of everyone yelling at Trump. Asked if it was the Trumbo who advocated "community", a drink was poured down. Outbreak Small Universe wrote a lot of scripts, sold them secretly, and saved some money to move the family to a high-end community. The next day, the walls were painted with traitors, and the swimming pool was full of animal carcasses. These are ordinary Americans who think you have betrayed the interests of the United States, and they are all people in Chaoyang District.
World War II, the Nazis, the Iron Curtain, the Cold War, the turbulent years, how could I have the time to listen to you and tell what reason you are talking about, and ask you directly if you are right? Everyone's strings are tense to burst. Just feel sorry for the Trumbo family. There are no such stubborn people in China for a long time. It's been a long time since you said what you said. The iron bones have also turned into juice, and some old, weak, sick and disabled people have to go to the May 7 cadre school.
In the early years of high school textbooks, there was an article, "The Burning of the Burning - Commemorating Giordano Bruno". I felt that Copernicus was not in the way, and found the theory of the movement of the celestial bodies, but he retreated due to religious pressure; in the end. Now think about it, or Copernicus has great wisdom, what is there to fight with idiots, especially idiots who hold power. Just be happy. Now I heard that this article was fabricated by the Chinese and has been deleted from the textbook. Maybe the editor also felt that there were too many loopholes.
This Trumbo can really write, because he is an unscrupulous family, and he can't get the manuscript fee normally. That's it, as a screenwriter for B-level films, there is still one that won the Oscar for best screenplay, a genius.
In order to pay back the money, Dostoevsky hired a female typist and completed The Brothers Karamazov by dictation alone. In the world of genius, mortals really don't understand.
