Never in my life have I seen a film that was made in the 1970's that is even more relevant than when it was released. This same film could have been made today.
Satire and irony are lost on anyone who thinks that Beck bears any resemblance to Beale. Beck and his ilk are exactly the type of people who Beale railed against.
A mentally disturbed man, yes, but also a truth teller, no. Beck is bought and paid for by corporations that want to manipulate the masses to their will.
@Sesquipedaliantique It did get broadcast at the time but no known copy survives. Almost no home video recorders at the time and no one was going to record a morning news thing anyway. The family has a copy and the network probably but its not "escaped" on to the net. At least not yet.
AARGH! This movie looks fantastic but I can't find a store in Australia that sells this on DVD! Are there any download links with good picture quality?
Station UBS -- Networks, You are bullshit. You are funded by the animal-cruel factory farms of fast food chains and by the cosmetic companies that perform barbaric animal experiments.

@thejigsawmurdersyou that is a fucking genius thought, i hadn't even realized how ridiculous it is that we just switched the criticism of one digital brain washing device to another and think that that means that we've conquered and understood the threat of TV.
@thejigsawmurdersyou maybe this was the best way to get his message across.. maybe he did it this way because everybody watches telly these days.. because everybody goes on their laptops
True - it's much worse today. But even worse is the fact that it's going to be even worse. We are being tricked by the system. We should stand up and decide we're not going to take it anymore
The best way we can do that is to turn off our television. Turn of FOX, MSNBC, CNN, and all their affiliates. The minute people stop watching the minute they'll ask why.
@1:27 That's the truth! These people don't give a damn about us, their profit margins and global domination comes first.

@Ahmedabdelreheem Because it shows the power of mass media over us. At the end of that sequence, all the frustrated "TV viewers" are yelling that phrase at the storm, just because the "TV host" told them to do it.
@stradivarius79: Damn right it did. Hell, you combine Network, John Waters' Pink Flamingos and some Russ Meyer and you get Anna Nicole Smith. The message is that eventually the networks will get so desperate for ratings that they will air ANYTHING, no matter how bad or sick or wrong or offensive. The OJ Simpson trial, the crackheads on Fox News, the H*l*s, the Kardassians, etc. etc. Chayefsky warned everyone bu they didn't listen!
I don't understand this because I love 70s films but I've never even heard of this film let alone seen it. The only reason I watched this video is because I was watching a clip on here of Eyes of Laura Mars and someone mentined this film.
Youngsters, keep in mind that when Network came out, cable television was in its infancy. There was only ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. Larger cities had local stations that reached out several hundred miles, but that was it. This predicted television as much as reflected it. It is so today that it is super scary. Thank you Paddy Chayefsky for a brilliant script.
It is a film filled with EVIL, EVIL people...though loaded with many profanities, it has so much depth to it and it remarkable funny and extremely well paced. It is a great, great film that really gets a person thinking. Faye Dunnaway is remarkably different in this film compared to both Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde, demonstrating versatility. Holden is more evil and vulgar, especially compared to Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard, and The Bridge on the River Kwai.
@JuanMacready Taxi Driver is very good film that I happen to have seen yet again quite recently, that does not change the fact that your imbecility is astonishing. My most sincere congratulations for being able to write a full sentence with whatever you have instead of a brain.
omg. fantastic film its available to watch at 'bigmovies4free' - I enjoyed it, shame cant watch 3D on the computer tho lol not quite the same! lolfound it funny :)
Howard Beales Speeches are tremendous...I think it´s astounding to hear about these issues that are still relevant ...also this movie got some real good Dialogues!
How ironic that if this film was made today it would become the all-time biggest grossing film, yet it would incite a revolution of the likes we've never seen.
Who'll be the studio that goes down in history as making the greatest film that ruins their industry and many others financially forever?
Does anyone know if there is a german DVD/Film Version of this movies available in stores? My English isn't that good, so I would like to see this movie in german... But i couldn't find it anywhere!
His name is Alex Jones. Glenn Beck is a shill and a copy cat of what independent talk radio hosts and news sources find out and report first. Then he sifts through and uses whatever sounds good to his little neo-conservative brain and spoon feeds it to conservatives who like to put a little danger in their lives by pretending for the length of his show that they are "libertarians". Open your eyes.
Anyway,i'm wondering if this movie also being "crowned" as one of the movie which is culturally,historically and aesthatically significant by 'Library of Congress'?? (alongside with another classic motion picture such as "Sunset Boulevard" , "2001 : A Space Odessy" ,etc) Because, This movie is BEYOND RELEVANT to what is happening today! A Truly Timeless Classic!
..Yeah..and maybe that would be also explaining why he shamelessly plagiarized Paddy Chayefsky's script for his 1999's iconic movie "Magnolia". He totally ripped off network's screenplay a.k.a the most original and brilliant movie script had ever written...and creating a new plot and story for his own profit. Pathetic BASTARD!
Anyway, don't get me wrong..anyhow i still think he's a fine and properly respected film director today.
yep..ok...thats pretty fair...youre totally right...im only quoting the guy saying that network was great...im not saying not that magnolia was better..even paul said that he ripped off network & robert altman...he's totally open to that criticism on interviews,he said that hes stealing but honoring at the same time those movies that he still loves...he mentioned taxi being great but not as good(to him)as network...cheers..ps: i like pauls work overall but the last 2 are my favs from him
Well,okay.. i didn't know that. Sorry..i don't live in US so, i hardly can watch or hear any great american filmmaker ever said in media, explaining their vision and what motivated them to make a movie.. That's pretty fair though.
You're right Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the most versatile and brilliant film director in this century (alongside with tarantino and greengrass,my another hero) "There Will Be Blood" is truly a gem and cinematic triumph!
great,good to know we agree...but i gotta say something...(dont get mad...is a critique in favour of our fav directors)...tarantino had copied some jean-luc godard chops & paul thomas anderson had copied some robert altman chops...so...i think it goes in circles...is not a bad thing to sometimes copycat some early stuff to keep cinema alive...of course theyre kinda unique in their own way but they have borrowed some stuff from otehrs too..again..not a bad thing..i'll add you as a friend,cheers
Network reminds me of films like 12 Angry Men, where the movie is centered around an amazing cast all at the top of their game. Throw in a storyline and a veteran director like Sidney Lumet that can get the characters clashing with each other to show off dramatic acting performances and you have a timeless classic. Faye Dunaway's character is ferocious, William Holden is at times too caring, and Peter Finch plays the crazy guy just right. Strong supporting cast as well with Duvall, Beatty, etc.
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it's YouTube channel.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
Oh yea...the long running "Presidency Program" with the "Special" th@ gets knocked out every four years.
I doubt th@ the character Howard Beale would have run for presidency even if he'd had the opportunity. He would've seen the futility in doing so...he was mad, not insane ;∙)
Saint Paddy foretold the future!!!! The rumble you feel beneath your feet is the movement of McLuhan and Murrow spinning in their graves!!! (Can a Jewish guy become a 'saint'?)(No letters, please - it's called humor, ok!?) LOL God bless Paddy!!!!!
An excellent movie! The subject matter was a little hard to underatand at sometimes, but the acting is top notch. I think Beatrice Straight deserved her Oscar for her small but powerful preformance. I also think that William Holden should have won Best Actor over Peter Finch. Howard Beale is a one-dimensional character, while Max Shumacher has many differnt sides, and has a redeeming personality.
Yea... William Holden deserved the Best Actor award too. He did get a nomination for it.
Lets not forget Sidney Aaron 'Paddy' Chayefsky who deservedly won the Best Writing award. Without him these gre@ actors wouldn't have had a such a brilliant script.
Spawn, take a look around. There are so many things going on behind the scenes that people do not know about. We are being lied to by our leaders in government. Everything is regulated...television channels, news networks, etc. It is over 30 years since this movie debuted and nothing has been accomplished. I, as one person, cannot fight the powers that be. Everyone has to get together and rebel against the lies and deceit plaguing us before it is too late.

(alongside with another classic motion picture such as "Sunset Boulevard" , "2001 : A Space Odessy" ,etc) Because, This movie is BEYOND RELEVANT to what is happening today! A Truly Timeless Classic!
Just Curious..

..Yeah..and maybe that would be also explaining why he shamelessly plagiarized Paddy Chayefsky's script for his 1999's iconic movie "Magnolia". He totally ripped off network's screenplay a.k.a the most original and brilliant movie script had ever written...and creating a new plot and story for his own profit. Pathetic BASTARD!
Anyway, don't get me wrong..anyhow i still think he's a fine and properly respected film director today.
calciumkid85 2 years ago
yep..ok...thats pretty fair...youre totally right...im only quoting the guy saying that network was great...im not saying not that magnolia was better..even paul said that he ripped off network & robert altman...he's totally open to that criticism on interviews,he said that hes stealing but honoring at the same time those movies that he still loves...he mentioned taxi being great but not as good(to him)as network...cheers..ps: i like pauls work overall but the last 2 are my favs from him

Well,okay.. i didn't know that. Sorry..i don't live in US so, i hardly can watch or hear any great american filmmaker ever said in media, explaining their vision and what motivated them to make a movie.. That's pretty fair though.
You're right Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the most versatile and brilliant film director in this century (alongside with tarantino and greengrass,my another hero) "There Will Be Blood" is truly a gem and cinematic triumph!
As well as like "Boogie Nights",etc
calciumkid85 2 years ago
great,good to know we agree...but i gotta say something...(dont get mad...is a critique in favour of our fav directors)...tarantino had copied some jean-luc godard chops & paul thomas anderson had copied some robert altman chops...so...i think it goes in circles...is not a bad thing to sometimes copycat some early stuff to keep cinema alive...of course theyre kinda unique in their own way but they have borrowed some stuff from otehrs too..again..not a bad thing..i'll add you as a friend,cheers

Network reminds me of films like 12 Angry Men, where the movie is centered around an amazing cast all at the top of their game. Throw in a storyline and a veteran director like Sidney Lumet that can get the characters clashing with each other to show off dramatic acting performances and you have a timeless classic. Faye Dunaway's character is ferocious, William Holden is at times too caring, and Peter Finch plays the crazy guy just right. Strong supporting cast as well with Duvall, Beatty, etc.

The rats are jumping ship.
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it's YouTube channel.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

Oh yea...the long running "Presidency Program" with the "Special" th@ gets knocked out every four years.
I doubt th@ the character Howard Beale would have run for presidency even if he'd had the opportunity. He would've seen the futility in doing so...he was mad, not insane ;∙)

An excellent movie! The subject matter was a little hard to underatand at sometimes, but the acting is top notch. I think Beatrice Straight deserved her Oscar for her small but powerful preformance. I also think that William Holden should have won Best Actor over Peter Finch. Howard Beale is a one-dimensional character, while Max Shumacher has many differnt sides, and has a redeeming personality.

Yea... William Holden deserved the Best Actor award too. He did get a nomination for it.
Lets not forget Sidney Aaron 'Paddy' Chayefsky who deservedly won the Best Writing award. Without him these gre@ actors wouldn't have had a such a brilliant script.

Spawn, take a look around. There are so many things going on behind the scenes that people do not know about. We are being lied to by our leaders in government. Everything is regulated...television channels, news networks, etc. It is over 30 years since this movie debuted and nothing has been accomplished. I, as one person, cannot fight the powers that be. Everyone has to get together and rebel against the lies and deceit plaguing us before it is too late.
