Trumbo
cont’d from pg 7
When he refused to
testify before the Com-
mittee, he was held in
contempt and summar-
ily shipped off to a fed-
eral prison in Ashland,
Kentucky. 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.

We honor the many accomplishments of African Americans
It is our primary goal as a labor union
to better the lives of all people work-
ing in the building trades through ad-
vocacy, civil demonstration,
and the long-held belief that
workers deserve a "family
wage" - fair pay for an honest
day's work.
A family wage, and the bene-
fits that go with it, not only
strengthens families, but also
allows our communities to be-
come stronger, more cohe-
sive, and more responsive to
their citizens' needs.
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.
