Courageous to a Frightening Degree. Edward R. Murrow would be Proud

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2006)

There is something undeniably intrinsic to Journalism. It is the ever-lasting effort to maintain objectivity in the midst of crisis' and issues with purposes that are transparent to the learned man. In my opinion, this movie serves a dual purpose: a Historical piece that captures the profoundly personal account of an era that produced the figure of Edward R. Morrow, in his time, the most trusted journalist in the medium, and a creatively stunning work of art that is the closest any of us will ever come to time travel.
Where are human beings like Edward R. Murrow these days? Let alone, journalists? Well, in a good university somewhere, that's where. This movie does more for education than any School Board could ever hope for. This film should have been President's Day extra-credit in every High School.
As a creatively artistic film? It won't get any better than this for a good, long, while. I thought I was tripping. I remembered this is how I saw the world when I was a child. This is what the majority of the people looked like in America those days. This is how they dressed, the eye-ware they wore, the way they behaved.
Ah, George Clooney! No wonder I've always liked you so much!
