Abstract
“Blacklist” in Hollywood in 1950’s excluded many filmmakers such as screenwriters, directors, and actors, from their jobs. When the film Spartacus was exhibited to the public in 1960, Dalton Trumbo, one of the most famous blacklisted individuals, broke the blacklist by showing his own name as its screenwriter on the screen. In this essay, we will discuss how “breaking the blacklist” happened and what the event meant to Hollywood movie industry and American society at that time. And we will explore the meaning of “allegorical significance” that Trumbo implied in the film by comparing the Spartacus story of slave revolt in the ancient Rome with Trumbo’s experiences and thoughts while he was in the blacklist.
