Network Appreciation

[Master Zik]

Saw this for the second time in years just a while ago and it's just as eye opening, amazing, depressing, and reflective of society as the first time around. Would say it's ahead of it's time but seeing as it came out in 1976 no surprise they saw it coming. More importantly the film is well written, from the monologues to the dialogues. The subplot within the film isn't anything to ignore either seeing as it all ties in to the main theme of the movie. It was really a beautiful work of art

And to be clear it's not just about the mass media controlling the world, minimizing the individual and exploiting the group. It applies on many scales to anything you allow others to dictate.

Anyway, just appreciate�

For those who would like to see.....

I know the scene with the old man yelling to go to the window from being a Mets fan, because of that I'm going to put this at the top of my list.

Like bijald0331 said it's overlooked and underrated despite it being a classic film, having classic monologues, the writing is top notch along with the message and themes. I'm sure it's on the list of top 50 best films of the last century.

Also, it's parodied in comedies and by comics and referenced by some in the political media world due to the relevance it has to the times of today.

EDIT

Google is you friend if you want to watch this
