those who forget the past deserve their their bad present

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2006)

l cannot say "Good Night and Good Luck" is an excellent movie. It is rather more a playwright than a movie. But it is very well realized, and believe me, l am very picky when it comes to good movies.
Yeah, l am aware that for mainstream audience this is a boooooring movie, simply because it is the kind of movies forcing people to think instead giving them some entertainment and an illusory reality escape. l can relate to that and, l also appreciate good action movies.
But in this particularly case, l related a lot with the story. l liked this movie because l was born and l grow up in a communist dictatorship. l experienced on my own the fear, the terror, the lack of freedom (except the inner one). What happened in states during the Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin "witches hunting" in early 50's is a piece of cake comparing with what happened in East Europe for about 40 years. But this doesn't mean that these kind of bad things should happen again.
