Movie Review: Good Night, And Good Luck.
What I enjoy most about this movie is David Strathairn. He brings conviction and charm to his character. And that I liked.
But nevertheless, the story is good as well. It is based on Senator McCarthy and his accusations. I know very little about this event, so I can't say much. But certainly this movie has some parallels that can be found today.
It is shot in black and white, though the picture quality is so good they might as well shoot it in color, for all the realism it gives.
The movie focuses mainly on Ed Murrow's fight against McCarthy's injustices, but also on the consequences that come on the CBS crew involved. I think Clooney, the director, has accomplished a lot- the story and the acting all work out wonderfully.
Despite seemingly dropping off at the end, Good Night is a movie that is very satisfying and gives us a strong message. I think because of these two things, it certainly deserved the best film nomination at the Oscars.
