Review of Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) by Alexander D — 02 Feb 2012
Forgetting the flaws stylistically moves to the relevance of the film, which seems 100%. The performance of David Strathairn as our key character matches up directly with the image that comes to mind when we try to imagine a 1950s broadcast journalist: straightforward and strictly serious.
Furthermore, there is the smoking, which in this film, may be a bit too noticeable. If one were to gather this filmâ(TM)s entire ninety minutes and splice out every second that did not present cigarette smoke wafting its way through the air, I guarantee the spliced-out footage would not add up to a mere sixty seconds.
The fact that the more recent MPAA certified such a smoky with a PG rating and failed to include the word âsmokingâ? in the explanation, is purely ridiculous.
