Historically Accurate

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

This movie was surprisingly historically accurate for a Hollywood movie. Edward Murrow was portrayed surprisingly well and I enjoyed the fact that McCarthy's scenes were all actually of him in television broadcasts! Kudos to Warner Bros. for making such a great flick! It was enjoyable all the same, as the characters portrayed the broadcasting industry of the 1950s very well. And I hope "Good Night and Good Luck" receives praise for its great cinematography, in that it was black and white, adding to the realism of the time period it was portraying. By choosing to do the movie in black and white it makes the transitions from actual 1950s footage to Hollywood footage that much smoother. The movie in all was enjoyable, and a must see for anyone interested in the Cold War Era or in a good movie!
