Review of Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) by Jimg. — 27 Nov 2005
Wow. Why don't we get more black and white movies? Forget the excess of Sin City, black and white truth is stranger than pulp fiction. Lots of style: Visually very interesting, punctuated with breathy vocals by Diana Reeves.
What's better is the lesson that history repeats "first as tragedy, then as farce." Most timely, the clip of Eisenhower talking about the importance of habeas corpus. (Look it up, naysayers.
) Don't know whether hawks have started with potshots about historical accuracy yet, but the quoted material on its own, particularly McCarthy's words, speak for themselves and offer significant drama.
If only we'd learn.
