Trumbo

TrumboAlso just watched Trumbo. Another disappointment. While it’s a perfectly solid piece of work, it feels more like television than film, and Cranston gives a showy, mannered turn. This is most evident in his scenes with Louis C.K, whose relaxed naturalness is in stark contrast to Cranston’s grandstanding. It’s still a fascinating and ghastly story, but it made me wish I’d read the book it’s based on rather than watch the movie.

    Oh it is tiki! I still enjoyed it despite its problematic elements. My mini review probably makes it sound worse than it is. I’m still glad I saw it and you might have a completely different reaction to it.

    Personally, I loved it. I guess I saw Cranston’s showy performance as an appropriate character choice. I know a lot of writers/performers who don’t really have an “off” mode, and the script’s Trumbo seems like that kind of guy.

    Hello creepydollfacething (I don’t know what else to call you), that’s a very good point. Apparently Trumbo really was quite flamboyant (he certainly has an EXTREMELY exuberant moustache) and Cranston’s performance reflects that. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him so perhaps the problem(s) lie elsewhere. A major plus point is that it has a Communist as a hero and is completely unapologetic about it. From what I’ve read, that’s a first for a Hollywood movie, despite the fact that many films have already been made about the black-list.
