The actor Bryan Cranston is now making the interview rounds promoting his new movie lionizing the Hollywood communist Dalton Trumbo. As one should always expect when the Hollywood left starts talking about the blacklist, the communists were the First Amendment heroes. The movie "Trumbo," Cranston told CNN's Jake Tapper, is about resisting "the lessening of the First Amendment or the oppression of it."
Ironically, Cranston said these words at the end of a Nov. 9 program that began with a mob at the University of Missouri driving out a president and a chancellor over wild allegations of racist epithets and restroom swastikas with little hard evidence.
The evidence exposing the fallacy of Trumbo as a First Amendment hero is much more definitive. Author Allen Ryskind in his book "Hollywood Traitors" reported Trumbo not only supported Stalin (and Hitler when he was a Stalin ally), but he also supported North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung after the Korean War. In an unpublished movie script, he had the heroine proclaim that North Korea's invasion of the South was perfectly justifiable, comparing it to the "fight for our own independence in 1776."
Nevertheless, Cranston is making the media rounds unleashing all kinds of nonsense at every sympathetic liberal media outlet available. On NPR, Cranston at least acknowledged that Trumbo was a member of the Communist Party USA, but that's only because "it was a political arm of labor unions and that's what he was truly invested in." That said, "He was dismayed with the bureaucracy of any political party. And the idea that, because he was a member of the party that he is somehow associated with communist Russia at the time, is ludicrous. And this is what the House Un-American Activities Committee tried to prove and failed miserably because there was no connection to it."
At a time when the American left so aggressively accuses the right of denying what is debatable evidence on issues like "global warming," these die-hard deniers refuse to acknowledge the undeniable documentation that emerged after the Cold War that the Communist Party USA was funded by and loyal to the Soviet Union.
At the Daily Beast, Marlow Stern interviewed Cranston and announced that the Hollywood Ten was a "fraternity of communist sympathizers crucified by the House Un-American Activities Committee for their political beliefs."
Perhaps it was Stern who prompted Cranston to descend into the inanity that the Soviet communists were fascists, not communists: "This communist regime under Stalin was unbelievably cruel and vicious. But the truth is they weren't communists. Stalin wasn't a communist. He was a fascist dictator. But the name 'communism' stuck to that."
By Nov. 11, Cranston was telling The Hill newspaper "The message of the film to me is inclusiveness. It's to be able to embrace an opposing viewpoint without thinking of them as the enemy or to demonize some of them."
In reality, Trumbo supported communists who massacred 100 million humans. Is that the left's idea of "inclusiveness"? Anyone with a conscience should have considered these slaughterers as worth demonizing. These leftists don't.
Move on for thee, but not for me.
So ‘Fascist’ Russia provided aid and comfort to Communist Cuba, Communist North Vietnam, Communist Party USA? Got it.
Neo-Communists are every bit as repugnant and morally bankrupt as Neo-Nazis.
FUHollywood
Actors and Lawyers......professional Liars.
Loved Cranston in Breaking Bad....but that is a role as was Malcom’s dad and Seinfeld’s dentist. The real Cranston is most likely a vacuous parrot.
As Michelle Obama said, our history and traditions would have to change.
Why no films about the Katyn Forest Massacre?
Why so few films about Stalin.and the starving.of.the Ukraine?
We know, sure.
How about the rest of America..?
Theyre focused on PoopStikas and truck dixie stickers.

So where is Hollyweird's pro-TEA Party movie?
Iam invested and interested in Clinton. Iam excited to see what she can bring to her platform."
..as great a movie as Spartacus was, if you watch closely, you can see the communist themes that are woven into Trumbo’s screenplay...
I read an interview with Cranston. He is a big Lib, but believes FoxNews has a right to say what they want. Still, I will not be seeing this movie. Hollyweird makes a lot of movies that are intended to manipulate the general public into supporting what Hollyweird supports. Trumbo was a Communist (as is much of Hollyweird), so it is not surprising that the movie tries to make his viewpoint easier to embrace.
There’s a first rate movie about Katyn by Polish director Andrzej Wadja, and it also figures in the recent Hollywood movie THE LONG WALK HOME.
Yeah, the communist witch-hunt stuff is pretty pervasive in Spartacus. I read that Kubrick didn't like the script and wanted to remove all that stuff. It's still a good movie and an over-all good script, though not terribly accurate historically.
Trumbo was a pretty good screen writer, and his story would make a good movie. I just don't feel like watching the leftist propaganda version of it, so I'll pass.
Leftist have the nerve to use a communist to preach about violations of the 1st amendment, while their own little modern-day reds are openly trying to suppress any opinions they don’t agree with!
Agree 10,000%.
I saw the excellent subtitled “Katyn” about 5 years ago, and I think I saw The Long Walk home, which featured major stars, to my surprise.
I recommend, “Come and See”, from Belarus, I think.
Verry harrowing.
I got the title wrong, should be THE WAY BACK. Good movie. TRIAL with Glen Ford, from the 50’s, is very good too.
Bryan Cranston looks to be wearing a hairpiece and a fake mustache.
It looks like that picture is a scene from the movie and Bryan Cranston stars as Trumbo
