'Goodluck and Goodnight' brilliantly photographed

I saw a movie about a champion of mine and one of the greatest

jounalists who ever lived, Edward R. Murrow, and his deathstruggle

w/Joe McCarthy,

'Goodluck and Goodnight', which has just been released in theartres,

and shot in 'black and white'!!! It's not only a faithfully accurate

docudrama/slice of history, it was brilliantly photographed, the movie

is introspective, cerebral, and ended with the audience giving the

movie a tremendous burst of applause as the movie ended.

 

The lighting techniques which were used, mimic lighting

techniques used

in the same time period as the story, and the makers of this movie

gave the Cinematographer a chance to make the lighting special.

 

I would recommend this movie to anybody who's interest in lighting.

the movie was as dishonestly misleading as any in the history of cinema. that said, i agree that the lighting was gorgeous, and i would gladly see the movie a 2nd or even a 3rd time in order to appreciate, and hopefully learn from, the wonderful lighting.
