“Good Night, and Good Luck” - Joe McCarthy Rides Again
by Bernard Weiner
Whenever I have a dream, I ask myself: “Why this dream now? What is happening in my life at this moment that would engender these particular images?” The same question has to be asked about Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney's powerful docudrama about the McCarthy era of the 1950s: “Why make this film now? Is there something happening in our society, our media, our politics that would make audiences resonate with a low-budget film, shot in black and white, about that era in America?”
