Good Night and Good Luck... yeah.

Ive already seen this movie but Ill just talk about the parts that weve seen. First off I really like the choice to shoot the movie in BW because it gives it that old school feel. Sometimes adding the BW effect can make it look like you were trying to force the old look on your audience but the movie doesnt give that impression. The music is appropriate and tasteful. There are several scenes to where the movie is played with no sound and just music with a chaotic event happening in the background these moments capture you and make you feel like your right there.

As for the actual story, well I think its great. The fact that Murrow would go after someone that powerful was very admirable. To go after someone who had that much power over the media was very brave. In todays world we have a lot more media sources so for a person to really control the media now probably wouldnt happen.
