Trumbo


The successful career of 1940s screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) comes to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo (directed by Jay Roach) tells the story of his fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.

This was a great autobiographical movie.  It did a great job of taking you back to that time period and establishing what the mentalities were like back then.  Bryan Cranston continued doing an amazing job at anything he decides to do.  The man is golden.  His performance in this is guaranteed to get him several year end nominations.  

I would recommend people checking this out.  It was a very good watch with great acting across the board.
