The context which allowed the rise of McCarthysm - how people and media supported him
The legislation passed before on which he leaned on
The excesses of the movement and what lead McCarthy to his end

Résumé :

The following analysis covers three cinematographic sources which are Good Night, and Good Luck, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers and an episode of Cold Case called the "Red Glare".
First, Good Night, and Good Luck is about how Edward R. Murrow, the CBS announcer of the time, and F. Friendly, a producer, helped to denounce McCarthyism and to end it.
Then, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers is what was called a B-movie, which represented an allegory of McCarthyism through out a story that takes place in a small town of America, about a doctor named Dr Benell who discovers that extraterrestrial beings with no emotions are taking possession of his fellow citizens during the night.
Finally, the episode of Cold Case is about a murder that happened in 1953, during the period of the witch hunt.
