He was fi nally released aft er languish- ing almost a year behind bars, but stilll found himself blacklisted and booted from the Writers Guild of America (WGA). So, the only way the prolifi c Trumbo was able to work in the fi lm indus- try again was by submit- ting screenplays to stu- dios under a variety of pseudonyms. His scripts for Roman Holiday (1953) and The Brave One (1956) did land Oscars, though he could neither appear to accept the awards nor even publicly acknowl- edge authorship. Eventually, the Red Invade cont’d from pg 7 might improve our qual- ity of life. For instance, in France, he asks public school cafeteria chefs how they manage to serve their students such fi ne cuisine compared to the slop American kids are forced to settle for. And his mission in Fin- land is to discern why its educational system is far superior to ours, while in Italy he learns about the generous employ- ment benefi ts not only for maternity leave but for honeymoons as well. This faux-invasion mockumentary features the aff able Moore in virtually every tableau, mugging for the camera in his trademark style. Yes, his tongue-in-cheek brand of humor is fre- quently sublime, and his earnest arguments are oft en persuasive, even if the format feels a little stale aft er a quarter-cen- tury of the same sort of shenanigans. Scare ended and Trum- bo’s membership in the WGA was reinstated, but not before exacting a toll on his personal and professional life. That shameful bullying in the name of patriotism is the subject of Trumbo, a reverential biopic di- rected by Jay Roach (Aus- tin Powers trilogy). The movie stars Bryan Cran- ston as the beleaguered title character as well as a talented supporting cast featuring Diane Lane, John Goodman, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning and Dame Helen Mirren. The aim of the revi- sionist production is to restore Trumbo’s rep- utation posthumously by poking fun at HUAC and other self-righteous bullies who had taken delight in ruining him, particularly John Wayne (David James Elliott) and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Mirren). While this approach is apt to Yet another progres- sive political primer from a proven master at questioning authority.

Our family wage agenda re- flects our commitment to peo- ple working in the building trades, and to workers every- where. In this small way, we are doing our part to help peo- ple achieve the American Dream. This dream that work- ers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious be- liefs.
