Project 52: 3/52
Easily the best movie from 2005 that I own - and it turns out I own a lot of movies released in that year - this is the black-and-white movie portraying Ed Murrow's fight against Senator Joe McCarthy during the 1950's. I say this now without watching George Clooney's other 2005 feature, Syriana, but I'm confident it will hold up.
The movie is beautifully shot - can you imagine if it was released in colour? It would be even more visually striking. As it is, it works even better mixed with the historical footage from actual McCarthy hearings.
What I especially like about this film is that it portrays the people actually acting like real people. I think some might find that distracting and consider the film boring, but it adds a level of realism to a fantastic biopic.
I really don't have much more to write about it than that...but I just had to get it out there. If you haven't seen it before, go check it out now!
