I finally saw the movie. It came to Des Moines last week. Not as dramatic and heart wrenching as Lord of the Rings or Saving Private Ryan, but it is an excellent movie I would receommned to anyone interested in history repeating itself. Is it just a coincidence this movie comes out during the government's witchhunt for terrorists? I noticed we don't hear much on catching terrorists from the enacted Patriot Act taking away the citizen's rights to privacy after the panic over September 11. Then the government criticizes the media for being too liberal from reporting governmental goofs. As Joe McCarthy discovered, do not ever take on the media or reporters because they control a lot of public opinion that gets people elected.
Much anxiety is missing since we know at the beginning of the movie Edward Murrow is honored for taking down Joe McCarthy, kinda similar to the second trilogy of Star Wars. Can you tell I'm reading a book on how to write a dramatic story? I like that it was completey in black and white, a touch of "A long time ago" feeling. The lesson of the movie I received was not to attempt to be a hero if you are not willing to accept shots fired back at you. I think Edward Murrow was willing to accept the consequences of his actions. The music numbers with the singer in the recording box was a nice way of setting the mood for the next scene, I think that was done in Chicago. I don't know if it will win a Oscar, but I enjoyed myself. Thank you George Clooney. Post later. Bye!

The Oscar has already been secured by Stealth, but it might get runner up.
