Good Night, Good Luck, Good Film.

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2005)

I remember watching on a small B/W TV set Ed Murrow having a go at McCarthy. He was to me a hero because I lived under Fascism during WWII and wished that someone would have stood up to the demagogues of those days.
I was particularly impressed by the actor taking on Murrow's voice and delivery in the film, also the fact that McCarthy was being used himself in the film.
All during watching it, I felt that it was more than a film about the past and Clooney was cleverly suggesting that we live in another fear induced World, but it is not the Commies, but the terrorists we have to fear.
Yes we still have demagogues amongst our leaders, even 'though they are card carrying liberals, republicans or democrats.
