What a sharp, incisive satire on the television generation. "Network" is to the TV generation, what "The Social Network" is to the Internet generation. What's amazing is how prescient this show is, especially how uncannily similar the Glenn Beck show is to the Howard Beale show, as well as foreshadowing the whole reality TV craze. This movie is television history in the making.
Crazy, Stupid, Love.
PG-13
Aight, despite it's contrived plot lines that tied up too perfectly at the end, i ended up being charmed by this movie.

Watching the film for the 8th time, I realize that this movie is the closest approximation of Kurosawa's lessons as a master filmmaker. Coppola mimics Kurosawa's brilliant composition, framing, story arcs, penchant for telephoto... I could go on. Starting with the lines "I believe in America"! this movie totally deserves being voted the 2nd greatest American movie of all time.
