@AshCosgrove Yeah this is so funny because I was a big history guy in High School. I looked forward to seeing this movie but then was bored out of my mind. Then at the end I hear this speech and I'm like... "OMG, he's talking about me."

Here's something for people to try, rewatch this, but treat it as if he's talking about the internet. It's actually quite scary.
-
@iconicdog Cool! That sounds like an eerie era to live in.

@AppleIPie Murrow borrowed the sign off 'Good Night and Good Luck' from the wartime citizens of London, who went to bed each night realizing they may not meet again. He stated using it in his radio broadcasts, and it became his signature catchphrase.

I randomly searched "goodnight, and good luck' because I think it is a funny thing to say to people, but I don't know where it is from.
Saaay, where would one find this movie?
I like how it remains relevant.

@miguelvara1 That instead of being used to improve the state of humanity, television (or rather, mass media in general) is making people lazy, complacent and stupid.

Hey baby, it's ALL show biz! Whimper, lecture and groan, it ain't a-gonna change, folks!

The first time I saw the end of this movie, I was literally shaking. Not only is this relevant to TV in general, it's relevant to our society. It's relevant to the internet, and everything we read and say. It's one of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard, and anyone who finds this movie boring really needs to discover what a film needs to be to be great.
