A must see film.

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2005)

Brilliantly conceived and executed. I lived through this period, and this film brought it all back and then some. It should be used as a teaching tool in civics classes. Unfortunately, it seems that we are living through a period resounding with themes from the film. Have we learned nothing? George Clooney got the feeling and details of the era just right. My respect for Clooney has gone up immeasurably. He is definitely far more than just a pretty face. I hope he continues to make similar films with this depth, intelligence, and meaning. Also, this film will surely earn David Straithern an Academy Award nomination. He would get my vote. Edward R. Murrow would be proud.
