Review of Videodrome (1983) by Michael C — 07 Oct 2012
After the first viewing, I was left puzzled and wondering what the motivation was. But going through 'Videodrome' again, I realize it has a lot more to say than what I initially perceived it as.
It's more about consumption than violence and how the media becomes part of us in a way. As technology is getting more advanced, we allow ourselves to become more vulnerable to its charms. We go through our lives with the help of cell phones and computers, but once we don't have the access an longer, we become the slaves of the regular world.
Lots of messages can be taken from 'Videodrome'; you just have to be willing to find them.
