1. Great movie.

I like it lots.
It was quick and to the point. It kept my attention the whole time. Great film all the way around.

2. I was as intrigued by the directing style as the subject

The style was meant to mimic Morrow's own reporting, it seems--succinct. I like the way Clooney handled it, without a lot of explanation, or delving into characters. It was like a news report--the facts were told quickly, and the emotions were barely touched upon, and yet they were obvious. When the anchorman killed himself, you knew it was going to happen, you knew why, and yet there was never a lot of extraneous emotional build up to it.

5. Big surprise there, eh?

6. lol, no. That was why Clooney showed so much smoke, though, because

it was such a part of Murrow's story. Also, there's just something cool about a smokey scene, as long as you don't have to breath it.

7. I just saw it the other night.

I loved it! But it was a bit scary seeing the parallels to today, though we don't currently have an Edward R. Murrow fighting the power. Unfortunately.
