Items In Movies You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscDescription With GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK, George Clooney delivers a riveting account of a crucial chapter in 20th-century American history and, in the process, firmly establishes himself as a major force behind the camera as well. The crisply paced, tautly scripted docudrama recounts the events of the mid-1950s leading up to acclaimed CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow's (David Strathairn) decision to stand up against fiery Senator Joseph McCarthy, who was out to rid the country of communism. McCarthy's seemingly reckless behavior, in which he condemned individuals without giving them a fair trial, angered Murrow and his producer Fred Friendly (Clooney) into action. The resulting few episodes of Murrow's show, SEE IT NOW, found Murrow on a personal, patriotic crusade to challenge McCarthy and rid America of his callous persecution. Set almost entirely inside the smoke-filled, pressurized newsrooms at CBS, Clooney's assured picture moves at a breakneck pace. Cinematographer Robert Elswit miraculously recreates the black-and-white look of that era, giving the film an added air of legitimacy. And while Clooney and co-screenwriter/producer Grant Heslov wisely chose to use stock footage of McCarthy instead of finding an actor to fill his shoes, they couldn't have found a better Murrow than Strathairn, who delivers his lines with heroic conviction. Clooney's stellar ensemble cast also includes Ray Wise, Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Daniels, and Frank Langella.

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscI am fairly familiar with the McCarthy saga and its repurcussions. But I found this movie shedded little light on this American "Reign of Terror." But worse of all, I found this movie about as boring a flick as I have seen in a long time (Gosford Park was the most boring movie I ever saw). I don't mind Black and White. But the hushed voices and endless close ups of men puffing heaters talking in...

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscThis is better than I thought it would be. I always like black and white, but my criticism was the camera was TOO CLOSE to the subjects. We didn't need to see all those blemishes, did we? We see that every day. I thought it would be more heavy handed lefto than it was. Murrow actually had very little to do with bringing down McCarthy. McCarthy lost his footing when he took on the army and then...

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscA collection of superb performances that added up to an aggressively average film. Something was missing from this movie. It just wasn't worthy of all the accolades it has received. It should be noted that, among my friends at least, mine is a minority opinion. Of last year's well regarded movies, I simply thought that Capote and Brokeback Mountain were far better.

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscI loved the way Good Night and Good Luck was filmed - all that back lighting and so much picturesque cigarette smoke that I thought I was going to start coughing. I do remember those regrettable McCarthy era days, as well as Edward R. Morrow, vaguely, as someone my parents watched, but the movie rings almost too true for today and is worth note. We have to be vigilant, folks, if we want to...

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscOK, it looks like this movie is pretty well made, I'll have to go and see it. I was too young to remember the times (vis-a-vis the "Red Scare) but have heard so much about it that I find the whole situation fascinating. But . . . The people behind this movie have an unmistakable, predictable political agenda. There is more to the story of Sen. Joe McCarthey than empty, grandstanding accusations...

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray DiscI actually saw this movie, and yes it portrays Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) as a communist witch-hunter. The movie has a very, very limited focus--not about McCarthy in general or nemesis CBS broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, in general, but is only about two things: (1) individuals, Murrow in particular, who say "No" to baseless fear and intimidation and "Yes" to taking a stand for civil liberties,...

Good Night, And Good Luck Blu-ray Disc
This probably should merit a four from me, but I just love this B and W film. I was won over by the atmosphere and solid performances. The film attacks the blatant use of media and propoganda by entrenched powers for purposes of control (i.e. the McCarthy saga) and is quite contemporary in its attack on television. The sheer contemporary feel of the message of the film could be a weakness...
