I like Cranston as an actor but his roles after Breaking Bad (and Dr Tim Watley) drive me away. Why does the left continue to lionize and rationalize the conduct of these old commies?

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.

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.

Here's a pic of Michelle Obama's library in the White House.

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."

So where is Hollyweird's pro-TEA Party movie?

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is backing Hillary Clinton, but not thrilled about her views on spending.

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
