Four-star movie: Network
Network
Director: Sidney Lumet
Year: 1976
This is considered a prescient movie in terms of predicting today's focus on reality TV -- or even bread & circuses TV. The viewpoint switches between what I originally thought of the as the main character, who is increasingly a tool of others, and a genuinely decent guy who tries to do his best in a world that is leaving him behind -- and who is fascinated by the amoral Faye Dunaway.
I suspect this was a funnier movie in 1976 than it is today.
