Clooney

Having watched him in the gloriously entertaining Coen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) couple of days back, last night I watched one George Clooney co-wrote and directed, Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) - a serious, upright recounting of the revered American television journalist Ed Murrow's conflict with Senator Joseph McCarthy, that also examines the role of the media in a democracy and raises pertinent questions about American, and therefore world, politics.
