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.

    Only after watching "Details of Democracy" did I know this movie. I was not interested in most of the political themes, although I was surrounded by big politics to move forward and survive. The media should be an independent third party, and it is not the mouthpiece of any political party that speaks to Pulitzer. The reporters in the movie are all elegant and handsome, because they dare to bear the pressure. I've always liked the "screwed" media, the people and teams who stand up and tell the truth!

    Edward R. Murrow: To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck.
