Review of Broadcast News (1987) by Brad G — 01 Jun 2011
As quick as it appeared and got tons of Oscar nominations, it quickly disappeared. Even with James L Brooks helming the movie, how did the masses just forget the movie happened? Maybe it's just me.
I had no idea that such a great ensemble movie even existed. But after watching it, I realized the movie was great, but guess what? Quickly forgettable. Maybe it's the witty dialogue. Maybe because the were so many good one-liners.
I dunno, but that was the ultimate downfall of the movie: great when you watch it, but it'll be hard to remember the details a week later. (Like now. I watched it a week ago, and then with commentary a week later, and it seemed like 2 experiences.
) A rewatchable movie, as I think the next time you see it, there will be so many moments you completely forgot about or didn't realize the first time.
