Review of Network (1976) by Mesha R — 24 Jul 2009
Boasting an excellent and Oscar winning script and featuring superb direction of an all-star cast (with three of the cast members winning oscars for their roles), Network is one of the most biting, venomous, and confrontational satires of all time, and stands out as being still fresh and relatable and prophetic over 30 years after it's release.
Calling this movie ahead of it's time is grossly understating the obvious. It's incredibly scary though just how prophetic this film is though. There are a few slow places, and people do tend to shout maybe a little too much, but those are just slight nitpicks.
Other than those, this is an incredible film, and required viewing for everyone alive since in this day and age, it's impossible to go without getting ensnared by the grasp of some form of media.
