Good Night, and Good Luck


Part documentary Part drama.

George Clooneys' second feature film and his second film that delves into the life of an american TV star.

I loved the way they used archive footage of McCarthy instead of using actors.

The Black and White style, sets and the abundance of smoking transports you back to 50's at the height of the McCarthy witch hunt trials.

Great performances from all the cast although I thought that apart from David Stathairn and Clooney the rest of the characters were kinda glossed over. Little time for Characterisation.

Sparse use of music except for some Jazz music seems to fit the movie.

Good Film.

If you don't like this film then your a communist *allegedly*
