I talked about some events in the United States when McCarthyism prevailed. Although it was a time of terror, and many people could not protect themselves, there were still people who were telling the truth, who were able to speak the truth, and who were able to fight vigorously.

A long time ago, when I was reading a book about what happened to some intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution, I felt very sorry for them. Maybe they would not be so miserable when they went to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek.

Later, I learned about Bai Yang and Li Ao. After things like Green Island, I sighed that the two sides of the strait are the same, they are really unfortunate, why don't they just go to the United States, it's always a free and safe country;

but later, I learned some things. After the McCarthy period, I suddenly realized that the whole world is the same. For the doom of conscientious and bloody people who dare to tell the truth, what should come will always come, no matter where you are.

    I've seen a lot of black and white movies, and this one has a lot of quality. The two bar scenes in the middle are good, giving enough buffer time for the plot, and a large number of dense lines and many professional terms also need to be adjusted.

    It seems that the only way some people can prove that they are film and television practitioners or learners is the only way to prove themselves as film and television practitioners or learners.

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.
