http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_%28film%29 This one was WAY ahead of its time. Should be a required watch for anyone interested in the social matrix, how it was perceived at the time in certain quarters and how a lot of the predictions in the film have come to pass over time. Includes a very accurate, perceptive and damning speech by the main protagonist. Quote : "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" Trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQUBbpvXk2A [Addition] Part 1 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 414042535# Part 2 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 687715594# New Video link - http://www.alluc.org/movies/watch-netwo ... 91420.html |

Never heard of this movie before here. Very interesting movie! Yes, much of what was portrayed in the film has played out in real life. "She's television generation..." |

We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves!!! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But man, you're never gonna get any truth from us........... We deal in illusions, man - none of it is true! .......... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal......... This is mass madness, you maniacs!!! In God's name, you people are the real thing! We are the illusion!!
When he said this, I was fucking speechless!!Also, the "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature" speech gave me pause. And the speech given to Fay Dunaway "I feel guilty and conscience-stricken and all those things you think sentimental, but which my generation called simple human decency." made me smile. Thanks again for recommending this film, 'Grinus. |

Interesting fact about Network : tv programmations ? France, last diffusion apparently 12/02/2011 TWO YEARS !! USA, apparently on SUNDe only, is it known ? http://movies.tvguide.com/network/tv-listings/107316 Not in UK apparently. Curious, no ? This movie is good on so many levels Edit, will add to the OP that it is also interesting on male/female relationship (max and diana 'the female humanoid' relationship) |

a scene from this movie was re produced in "Holy Man", starring Eddie Murphy. funny enough, "Holy Man" has to do with a Television Program. (Scene where the Protagonist tells the viewers to go outside) |
