good night

At the beginning of the film, the scene of a group of people talking at a banquet unfolded. The time was marked in 1958. The music that was cut into was quite soothing jazz. I didn’t understand it very well, because it felt like talking with a high-level, slightly excited heart scene. too fit. Political background aside, at my historical level, I don't know anything about the characters except the Cold War. The thing that interests me is that the protagonist Edward smokes has always been a bit of a detail. In 1958 he smoked a cigarette before his speech, and it was obvious that he was nervous. There is also a scene of a man and a woman smoking on the wall next to the speech. In addition, he not only smoked before recording the program, he also smoked during the recording, and even the TV station advertised for cigarettes. Ken smokes cigarettes. In addition, just like the name of the movie, "Good night, Good luck", Edward probably said that every time before the end of the show, and then the so-called Good night does not mean that it is really good night, at least the expression of Edward in the whole movie is relatively Seriously, after saying goodnight to the audience gentlemen, what followed was an endless discussion of communism. This closing sentence is like a hint, it is not good night now, at least it will be in the future, and whether it will be good luck, at least the ending is quite lucky.

Although the movie was released in 2006, the black and white tones are particularly interesting. I really can't imagine if it would be too noisy if it were changed to color. The black-and-white tones of supremacy combined with the plot and tone of the entire film are serious, but the more soothing jazz really adds an intangible color to the film.

That's all I can say at my level. As for the view on the plot, as the movie conveys, it doesn't convey any emotion, it just states the facts.

For a student who is about to enter the media industry, express what I think is correct, say what I want to express, that's all.

    The so-called conscience of the news media.

    Students who study journalism, come here and see the major events in the history of American journalism, how journalism history promotes social progress, how to counterbalance, and supervise the power of legislation, judiciary, and the military. The story takes place in 1954. How many years is China behind? No system building, no multi-party, no supervision, independent press, and freedom are all slogans.

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.
