: Good Night, Good Luck
I really, really liked this. It’s a fascinating look at a serious newsman, Edward R. Murrow and his public battle with McCarthy (the “everyone’s a Communist but me” guy). The theme is about censorship and the media, and acusing people without evidence, themes that obviously resinate today. What I found most interesting is that though this film was created by liberals with an obvious agenda, it’s really a conservative film: today the liberals control the media and jump down the throats of any conservative that dares to speak the opposite, exactly what hero Murrow was doing back in the old days of the film! I myself am a Libertarian and can’t stand censorship and believe in the rights of everyone to be heard, so I liked this movie a lot: I just wish both political parties would learn from it.
