Good Night, and Good Luck.

It's a bit obscure to anyone who doesn't know this political history, but the truth isn't overshadowed by the complexity. Many film critics don't see "Good Night and Good Luck" as a historical drama detailing a time when America's popular social beliefs were heavily skewed and intrepid journalists brought down political stars. Rather, see it as a reaction to today's anxiety that concentration of property rights is making the media too powerful again.
Moreau himself made a lot of predictions about our current media system. At the end of the film, Moreau gave a speech at a broadcast conference in 1958. He talked about the future of the industry.
"We are now rich, fat, comfortable and complacent. We now have an inherent sensitivity to unpleasant or disturbing information. This is reflected in our mass media. But unless we shake off the excess fat and stand up, By acknowledging that television is, by and large, used to distract, deceive, entertain, and isolate us, then television and its funders, viewers, and workers may see an entirely different picture, but it's too late."
In Senator When McCarthy attacked the media, it clearly reflected the thinking of popular social theory. In 1954, Morrow's network was intimidated by McCarthy for fear of losing advertisers and viewers, and ultimately profits. But either way, the network's managers did the right thing.

Good Night, and Good Luck. quotes

  • 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.
