Review of Talk Radio (1988) by Tyree G — 27 Jan 2011
I think this one went over my head. Maybe I just don't get it because I didn't see the point of the film. The long scenes in the studio are just LONG and annoying. He argues with his listeners because they are rude and scary but what's the point of all that? There's all kinds of people in this world and if you make yourself an easy target, they are going to come after you.
Honestly, that's all I got from the film..hes rude and self-centered so people call in and curse him out. THAT was the whole film! LOL...I did understand that all the craziness was making him miserable and causing him to break down but instead of filming half the film in the studio they could have shot other scenes showcasing his breakdown or creating a much better character study of the man or SOMETHING a little more compelling.
The direction by Stone is well..nothing wrong with that just think the film could have been better. Overall, a missed opportunity.
