Review of Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) by Elizabeth N — 01 Jan 2009

So amazingly done I'm still a little overwhelmed both by the utter simple genius behind such a great work and thw subtle message it also holds for todays 'War On Terror' society. Clooney clearly knew where he was going with this piece and exactly how he was going to tell the story. I loved the simple use of the singer, and the fact that each time she was pictured singing it was with a very fitting anf typical song, I loved the dialogue, the use of black and white, the acting. I think I loved pretty much everything!

A film that won't be for everyone, but if you can keep up with the dialogue and the story and you can see the message that Clooney is trying to get across about the dangers of propaganda and being afraid of speaking out, then I think you at least have to admit that this film is put together remarkably, even if you hate the rest of it. I think it is obvious that I personally didn't, but then I always love seeing people try and make modern statements and at the same time show a particular similarity in history.
