Brilliant satire. It skewers media and the heights it goes to for ratings. It's both sad and scary how timely the movie still is. It just goes to show that we really haven't changed that much...

@jekyl6669 Judging from the plot description, sounds like a Hannity/Jones-type film.

A dengorously prescient film from 40+ years ago that saw how television and the Western world would go.

A tour de force of actors going off a script written for the intellectual. It's not the most human dialogue but it is brilliant.

Without wanting to give spoilers, I will however comment on the legacy of this film. The one director working today who has adopted this style and ratcheted it up to 11 to my mind is Wes Anderson. The narrator, the craziness passed off with an earnestness reminds me much of his movies.

There is an earnest progression to destruction in this film that is brilliantly portrayed and strikes fear into your heart as you realise we have become exactly what was prophesied.

What a film this must have been in 1976. 40-odd years on I rate it an 8/10.

It's OK. The message got a bit cheesy with the chanting. The movie seems more of an adolescent temper tantrum that relates to when we reach the age of realising life can be shit more than the big social commentary expected. There are some good points but it's mostly obvious or tries to be elitist. The story is also a little slow.
It's liked more now due to its association with conspiracy, and I don't mind that, but the messages in this movie and the protesting feeling it attempts to provoke are not as deep as many think.

"Network" is a satirical takedown of the world of news media that may date back to 1976 but could not be more topical than ever in the 2020s. The screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is almost prophetic. Above all, there are some fantastic monologues that don't necessarily come across as natural but are incredibly captivating. The actors are convincing throughout, especially Faye Dunaway, who is phenomenal, and Peter Finch, who got to shine one last time just before his death. "Network" is hilarious, biting, a little frightening, and all-around fantastic. For me, the 120 minutes simply flew by.

Meh, it’s fine, but I’d rather rewatch The Morning Show if I want to watch ruthless network executives.
