Good Night, and Good Luck.George Clooney 2005 USA Ed Murrow, Fred Friendly and other journalists seek to confront Senator McCarthy over several weeks of live TV broadcasts.
Riveting and profound, and strongly reminiscent of All the President's Men; filled with atmospheric cigarette smoke, the camera observes with a kind of action-packed intensity stemming only from words and lingering close-ups. It is a well-paced, brilliantly-acted, convincing, and challenging depiction of the Media and television as a canvas on which to voice propaganda and political views--many shots show Murrow being filmed, with the footage of what is being filmed shown in the background; a complex structure of multi-angled reportage.
