>While the film's release occasioned applause from the mainstream media, it sparked protest from right-wing and anticommunist groups such as the National Legion of Decency, which picketed theaters exhibiting the film. The controversy over its "legitimacy as an expression of national aspirations" continued until newly elected US President John F. Kennedy crossed a picket line set up by anti-communist organizers to attend the filmIt's funny how history repeats itself
>>221820404You forget to mention Dalton Trumbo (the guy behind Johnny Got His Gun also known as the Metallica video for One) was blacklisted and wrote the script.

>>221820404Based militant chuds
>>221820404glad they shot that prick
>>221820404The film is entertaining despite being based on a terrible book that was a thinly veiled attempt at spinning the Third Servile war into a pro-commie story. Luckily the film really doesn't feel pro-commie by today's standards so it holds up.
>>221820404Wow a movie/historical account about how slavery is bad and people should be free pissed off right-wingers, what a shock.
>>221821116Based right-wingers
>>221820404>newly elected US President John F. Kennedy crossed a picket line set up by anti-communist organizers to attend the filmYou expect Trump to actually watch this film in a theater? This is the history you think will be repeated? You are a fucking retard LMAO
>>221821116It was more because the book it was based off of was written by a commie and published by a commie press after no one would publish it. The book is absolute shit and the movie is not similar to it at all aside from being about Spartacus. The film has no real commie agenda, aside from being made from Hollywood and it being about a slave uprising.
>>221821398>The period between 1945 to around 1966 is filled with thousands of right-wing propaganda moviesThis is fine>One maybe commie movie comes out in 1960Let's burn Hollywood!!!
