perfection of democracy
McCarthyism shows that a series of white terrors such as maintaining stability, restricting media freedom of speech, and political persecution can also occur in democratic countries. Chaplin and the "father of the atomic bomb" Robert Oppenheimer were both persecuted and accused of revealing secrets...

A piece of history unfamiliar to the Chinese
The film's winning in the United States does not mean that the Chinese can accept it, because most of us are not familiar with the story described in the film.

The scene of Morrow holding the cigarette between his fingertips and staring at the camera with cold and deep eyes and saying "Good Night, and Good Luck." will definitely stay in everyone's mind. There are no ups and downs in the plot, no eye-catching dazzling skills, and a few jazz songs in the film are enough to add a star to the film. McCarthy itself is a very good subject, but I always feel that my skills are not enough, so I need to rely on a lot of lines to help

Edward R. Murrow: We will not walk in fear, one of another.

Edward R. Murrow: No one familiar with the history of this country, can deny that congressional committees are useful. It is necessary to investigate before legislating. But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the Junior Senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always, that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep into our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to associate, to speak, and to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular. This is no time for men who oppose Sen. McCarthy's methods to keep silent or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. We proclaim ourselves as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom wherever it continues to exist in the world. But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his, he didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it, and rather successfully. Cassius was right, the fault dear Brutus is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Good night, and good luck.
