Seeing Good Night, and Good Luck brought back a time and place in America that clearly reflects where we are once again. It is a cautionary tale for all to see. I certainly hope journalists see this and get inspired to report the news without concern for the disfavor of their corporate bosses, the current administration, and the sponsors. Television news needs to remember it's roots, and the courageous reporters who didn't merely recite the government handouts. The movie was the most authentic recreation of an atmosphere, how people looked, dressed, lived in the 1950s. It should win the Academy Award for costume, makeup, set design, and certainly for actor David Strathairn, and George Clooney as director. It is truly a must see for a thinking public.
