It is one thing to change one's mind about one's political affiliation and probably be pressured to write against it, and quite another to actually speak individual names to the House Un-American Committee looking to squash such individuals. This latter action, which did not happen in reality, is what is portrayed in the film.

I think there's more to it than his just changing his mind. He vowed to help Trumbo and the others, and then turned his back entirely on the party. And I think a lot of those still affiliated felt he didn't so much change his mind as crack under pressure.

I was just offering this as an alternate view. It's been a few week's since I've seen the film, so I can't quite recall the parameters of their falling out in it.
