      The story has no end

      A few days ago, the teacher of Internet communication talked about a theory, Derrida's "post-structuralism", the point is that meaning comes from constant interpretation, and there is no ultimate meaning. Watching this movie, the similar feeling is that the story has no final ending. If it is a closed text, in World War II, "this is London", Edward R. Murrow conveyed the situation of the war to people through an objective and calm reporting style, which assisted the victory of the war,...

      Ideal defeats politics, but defeats reality

      It's a film made in 2005, but in black and white with an extremely serious tone.

      I think this is probably the director's tribute to the serious movies of that era, but also a mockery and reflection on the entertainment to death now.

      There are a lot of sonorous monologues in the play, the logic is rigorous, and the conditioning is clear. The director seems to want to use Edward Murrow's mouth to show the highest point that human wisdom and reason can reach in the printing age...

      Is the concentration of property rights the media once again becoming too powerful?

      It's a bit obscure to anyone who doesn't know this political history, but the truth isn't overshadowed by the complexity. Many film critics don't see "Good Night and Good Luck" as a historical drama detailing a time when America's popular social beliefs were heavily skewed and intrepid journalists brought down political stars. Rather, see it as a reaction to today's anxiety that concentration of property rights is making the media too powerful again.
      Moreau himself made a lot of...

      tears

      This instrument can teach, it can illuminate and yes it can even inspire, but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it towards those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box.
      Good night, and good luck.

      A tearful movie.
      I found some answers about the future of the TV era, and I also saw a huge helplessness.
      When I watched Amusement to Death I thought all the causal connections to that guy were far-fetched. I finally realized...

      Sad after watching it

      After watching it, I regret that "Good Night and Good Luck" was unlucky at the Oscars. Looking at the predictions of the media before the awards, "Good Night and Good Luck" is the second seed in both the best picture and the best director. In the end, it only won the best supporting actor, which is considered to be George Clooney. A small compensation. Black and white films are used to reflect historical events. "Schindler's List" has been used for a long time, but I still admire the director's...

      Yishui's good actor is steady and restrained, very stylized, cold and profound, and his wisdom is quite touching. At that time, the gender of the news media was still dominated by...

      I love the subject matter... I like the episodes of the TV show the most, and the people who watch it are very emotional. (By the way, CBS turns out to be the conscience of the industry!!! I have always had the impression of "well, the ratings of TV dramas are super...

    Creative background

    The title of the film comes from the iconic words of Edward Morrow, a pioneer in the American news broadcasting industry who dissatisfied with McCarthyism, when he stopped broadcasting activities and paid out of his pocket to expose McCarthy's headline when he advertised in the "New York Times"   .
    Clooney has always wanted to make the experience of idol Edward R. Moreau into a movie, but he did not intend to make the movie a pure...

    Filming process

    The film was shot with color film in a gray-and-white setting, and after post-processing, it became a pure black and white image. Many of Morrow's program lines in the film are taken from the lectures of the year, and the pictures of McCarthy in the film are all from the video at that time. The film uses features from the 1950s in the United States, such as smoking in the studio, partial haircuts, and popular jazz   . In order to...

    Evaluation action

    "Good Night, And Good Luck" is obviously a proper film shot at the proper time ( New York Post review )   .
    Courage, justice, and conscience are not the focus of "Good Night, And Good Luck". George Clooney brought the lens closer to the role played by the individual in the political storm. The intricate relationships and very different psychological states between people are no less inferior than the suspense movie. The film has been...

    Movie quotes

    • Don Surine: ...no pun intended.

      Joe Wershba: No pun elocuted.

    • Edward R. Murrow: Did you know the most trusted man in America is Milton Berle?

      Fred Friendly: See? You should have worn a dress.

    • Edward R. Murrow: Let us dream to the extent of saying that on a given Sunday night the time normally occupied by Ed Sullivan is given over to a clinical survey of the state of American education, and a week or two later the time normally used by Steve Allen is devoted to a thoroughgoing study of American policy in the Middle East.
