"Good night and good luck" is the most frequent phrase in the film, which is the closing remark of Edward R. Morrow every time he broadcasts the news. Before I watched the movie, when I heard the teacher say this sentence, I always thought it was a simple and beautiful blessing. When I said this sentence, I should be relaxed. When I listened to it, I felt happy. I heard him say "Good night and good luck" six times from beginning to end. After watching the movie, I didn't have the expected sense of ease and happiness. The only thing I felt was a heavy sense of load and mission. Every time Morrow finishes his closing remarks, he has a thoughtful grim and deep look, at least I have never seen him in this movie with a relaxed look after finishing his closing remarks. I don’t understand the process of watching the movie, and I still don’t understand it for a period of time after watching it: why he has such a deep expression when his colleagues’ incessant praise fills the entire studio, he shouldn’t be happy or excited. Are you relaxed? Now I seem to understand a little bit, and my understanding is: In fact, those seemingly simple five words are not as simple as we imagined, nor are they sentences that can be blurted out casually, nor are ordinary people affordable. Closing remarks. Expose the truth and report the truth for the audience, without being hindered by all obstacles, let the audience receive every report of the truth, so that the audience can better understand the major events that have happened and are happening around them, so that the audience can be more aware of their own lives. Property security has a mental preparation for a sweet night and a good day. Therefore, the connotation of the phrase "Good night and good luck" is not something that everyone can afford. In a simple sentence, it embodies Edward R. Morrow's commitment to his audience for his professional responsibilities as a journalist and his social responsibilities as a citizen.
In the 1950s, television was just around the corner, and the nascent television industry in the United States was still in its infancy. Morrow, who works for CBS, was unafraid to fight back against Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy's madness to use the American people's fear of communism to launch a witch hunt campaign against communists , the anchor's report on Lieutenant Redovich's incident caused an uproar, and Morrow was immediately identified and framed as a communist accomplice. In the face of all kinds of dissuasion and intimidation, Morrow's determination to reveal the truth has always been unshakable, and he continued to fight against "McCarthyism". In the end, with the cheers of The New York Times and many critics, Morrow's rationale was finally recognized, and "McCarthyism" was discredited because of this, and McCarthy was later censored. It can be seen from this incident that no amount of difficulties can stop Morrow from pursuing the truth, and no threat can destroy his firm determination to report the truth. This is the unique brilliance that belongs to him as a successful journalist. No one can replace him, and it is because of his fiery heart of pursuing and reporting the truth that he has created a legendary figure like a shooting star. Reporting the news truthfully and exposing the truth with justice is what every journalist should pursue, but in this information age where fake news "scandals" are emerging one after another, when Morrow is mentioned, he thinks of his journalism career of pursuing and reporting the truth. Countless journalists will be ashamed and ashamed, which is Morrow's nobility, but also our sorrow.
In the film, Morrow has a rare smile when he hears that Lieutenant Redovich has been reinstated in the U.S. Air Force. What a joy to use reporting the truth to fight for freedom and rights for people and achieve victory! When I saw this, I suddenly felt very moved and felt that I had a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Now I, who laugh foolishly all day, even a little confused, will most likely be a journalist in the future, so what are my ideals and pursuits? The answer is not clear. Taking people as a mirror, I realize how ignorant I am, how stupid I am, and I realize that I am not ready at all. I never thought about what kind of journalist I want to be, nor what kind of news concept and reporting principles I want to adhere to... No, I didn't think about anything, I didn't prepare. Ostrovsky said in "How Steel Was Made": "The most precious thing for a man is life. It is given to us only once. A man's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he does not Remorse for wasting your time, and don't be ashamed for being mediocre..." Edward R. Morrow's life was not only worthy of conscience, but also a glorious and wonderful life. From now on, set up his flag in your heart, think about yourself, spur yourself, and start to prepare for your future journalism career. I hope that when you talk about your life in old age, it is pride and pride, not regret and shame. of. I would say that I was moved by Morrow’s news process of pursuing and reporting the truth. Then I should not be moved only by the surface of my mind, but by the deepest move in my soul and by the practice of my actions. Only in this way can I be worthy of the word “moved”. .

Smart minds, piercing eyes, sharp eyes, broad and unique horizons, punctuated by the time and disadvantages, excellent reports, and firm determination to never retreat... These make up the "meteor in the history of journalism". "- Edward R. Morrow. His glorious life, like a short-lived beautiful meteor, fell brilliantly, disappeared into the sky of history, and never again. Life and death are natural laws. Every day, even every minute and every second, someone leaves the world, but how many of them can be remembered forever? We often sigh "my life has a limit", and it is true, life is limited, but human value is unlimited. Morrow has created infinite value with his limited life, and his constant pursuit of truth and reporting of the truth will be remembered for eternity and in the annals of history. To him, we should not only have reverence, but also learn from him, see clearly the shortcomings of our journalists, learn better, work better, and create extraordinary value for our equally short life. , so that we can say to ourselves before we die: My life is valuable, I did not live in vain!
