TRUMBO FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) starring Bryan Cranston
Trumbo is a compelling biographical drama that delves into the life and career of Dalton Trumbo, one of Hollywood's most celebrated and controversial screenwriters. The film shines a spotlight on Trumbo's battles against the Hollywood blacklist during the Red Scare era of the 1940s and 1950s, a time when fear of communism led to widespread censorship and the silencing of many talented artists.
Bryan Cranston delivers a powerhouse performance as Dalton Trumbo, capturing both the resilience and vulnerability of a man who fought tirelessly for creative freedom. Cranston's nuanced portrayal earned him critical acclaim and several award nominations, highlighting his ability to embody complex characters with depth and authenticity.
The narrative explores Trumbo's extraordinary journey—from his early success as a screenwriter, to his unexpected blacklisting following investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Despite being ostracized by the industry, Trumbo continued to write under pseudonyms and fronted scripts, ultimately winning two Academy Awards anonymously during his exile.
Key elements that make Trumbo a must-watch film include:
Historical context: The film provides an insightful glimpse into the political paranoia of the McCarthy era and its impact on Hollywood's creative community.
Screenwriting brilliance: It highlights Trumbo's exceptional talent and influence on some of the most iconic films of his time, including Roman Holiday and Spartacus.
Freedom of expression: Central themes revolve around the importance of artists' rights and the fight against censorship, which resonate strongly in today's cultural climate.
Supporting cast: Featuring notable performances from actors portraying other key figures such as John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and Otto Preminger, each adding layers to the story’s authenticity.
Director Jay Roach crafts a compelling and emotionally charged film that not only entertains but also educates audiences on a pivotal chapter in American cultural history. The cinematography and period-accurate production design further immerse viewers in the era, transporting them to a time of fierce ideological conflict and personal courage.
For film enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of politics and art, Trumbo offers a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who stood up for their beliefs. It champions the enduring spirit of creativity and the importance of standing firm against injustice.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
