Trying to find a thing to celebrate in this month was really hard. It would easy if it was me just doing a bunch of food stuff. However, I don't want to do that. So, I picked National Typewriter Day on June 23rd.
The movie to go with it was that called Trumbo
Based on the true story of Dalton Trumbo, the movie follows Mr. Trumbo as he is being blackballed from Hollywood for being a communist.
This movie is so good. It really shows you what it was like for the 12 men the were jailed for being a communist. How they had to fight back when they came back. They had to write under different names, and do a bunch of crazy stuff to get scripts out without it being known that they were the ones who were writing them. Trumbo actually won two Academy Awards during this time but was not allowed to claim them because the truth that it was him writing would have been exposed. The reason I picked this movie for National Typewriter Day is because Trumbo took his typewriter in the bathtub and wrote in there. It's shown several times in the film. It's a very memorial part of the movie.
So, I have a typewriter and I wrote on it in honor of the day. If you want to read it go ahead. However, if not that is fine too.
