Well, here we go again. I will do my best to have this be monthly. This month goes to a film that made me think, and plays devil's advocate. How far would you be willing to go in order to stay in business at work? Are you willing to be drastic and absurd? Maybe even reckless? Will you lose your way with God when you do so? The movie that I'm referring to is called Network. It starts out with a news show that is going down the tubes because of its poor ratings. And then, the news anchor does something that is unthinkable. The movie delves into the issue of right and wrong. After watching the film, one must think about what's important in life.
The Good: The acting is superb, the storyline is just as great. And, best of all, it's a movie that you haven't seen.
The Bad: This film exposes some truth in showbiz. People love shock appeal in entertainment. The bad thing about this movie isn't what they show, it's that its partly true. The Saw movies, Hostel, Jerry Springer, etc. all demonstrate that people love shock appeal.
The Ugly: There is a large amount of foul language in the film. In fact, Jimmy Stewart turned down a role in the film because of that.
All in all, after you view this fine film I believe that you will have much to think about. Feel free to leave any comments.
