Good Night and Good Luck...responce

The movie Good Night and Good Luck... was an interesting movie to watch. Though it was in black and white something I am not use to it kept my attention, for longer than I expected. It was interesting to see how television was received when it first was introduced to the world. I could only imagine how people saw this box that showed pictures, and to my surprise I was correct. Today most people own at least one television. My family is not exception there is actually one television in every room in my house. Television is important to me it’s one of the first of many electronic devices that I turn on every morning. Sometimes I feel like I can’t wake up unless the TV is on, well there are several other factors that can override that feeling but baring that TV is important. Also I was able to see in the movie some of the most outstanding piece of reporting I have ever seen in my life. This was done by Edward R. Murrow and CBS news; he took on a Mayor who labeled his “enemies” as communist and had them charged with treason. Murrow used his own words on a live interview to prove to the Mayor that he was wrong. In an interesting twist Murrow did not like television he thought it would “brain wash” the American citizens into well a potato. To boot his original reporting was done on the radio. To some up the movie was a joy to see and I would love to see it again.
