Review of Broadcast News (1987) by Steven M — 09 Oct 2010

I can't stop thinking about this movie as a historical piece. It documents the rise of the fake anchor, a person who is just a pretty face. On one side is the anchor of old, a said gentleman bringing us gripping world affairs, on the other are vapid beauties bringing us pop culture.

But thats not the part that gets me. Its how they combine into the modern version of the anchor. A vapid front person wearing an ear piece that links them to the educated producer. Trust me after watching this movie you will see the earpiece on every tv anchor.
