Review of Network (1976) by Abdelrahman A — 16 Oct 2010

UNA JOYA! henry miller ya no me parece tan enojado y demente despues de esto, creo que puedo leer henry miller sin deprimirme ya. simpatizo con todos los profetas iracundos. me encanta el personaje de Diana Christensen: cinica pero honesta, ambiciosa pero destructiva, esa mujer es el diablo y dios a la vez, es una revolucionaria. "im not sure she's capable of any real feelings, she's tv generation, she learned life from bugs bunny, the only reality she knows comes from tv".

Todo lo institucional se desmorona en esta pelicula, todas las verdades incomodas, incluso las del matrimonio y el "amor": "she's very carefully devised a number of scenarios for all to play like movie of the week. my god, look at us louise here we are going through the obligatory middle-of-act-two-scorned-wife-throws-peckend-husband-out scene but dont worry, ill come back to you in the end, for all of her plot outlines had me leaving her in the end and coming back to you because the audience wont buy a rejection of the happy american family. she does have one script in which I kill myself...".

Una obra maestra que inspiro a zeitgeist, al mounstro que se llama verdad y que termina acabando con todos.

CORPORATE COSMOLOGY since man crawled out of the slime... y hasta ahora. uf.

Tiene un final feliz ;).
