Network - The World is a Business
Loading...
Uploaded by exoteeelis on Apr 16, 2009
5 minutes and one of the most true, impressive and powerful scenes of the 1976 masterpiece "Network" by director Sidney Lumet.
Arthur Jensen explains to Howard Beale how economy and business work and how this determines our everybody's life.
Although this movie is quite old, these laws and explanations apply and are even more true today than 33 years ago when the movie was shown for the first time.
Listen carefully.

You're right. It's possible that Jensen genuinely believes in everything he spoke of when he leaves the head of the table in this scene, and believes this 'evangel' is in the best interest of the people. It either speaks to the fact that he knew people would not want to see a message of despair (even if it is the truth) over a message of hope and would end Beale anyway, or he really has been so corrupted as to believe a world of business is the way things should be.

@CerpinTaxt37 It's a little ironic, don't you think? Why would Jensen, CEO of CCA, tell a person with wide spread public popularity, to actually tell them the truth for once? Wouldn't it make more sense for Jensen to ask Mr. Beale to lie, or even to fire him, and hire a more suitable person in his place? I asked myself these questions while I was watching the movie, but I could never find any answers.

Beale's original message was about people having power. His message after talking to Jensen was the truth about how corporations run the world, and that the people have no power to stop it.

@MetalEagle95 Athens' democracy was, in fact, a meritocracy. The world has yet to see a democracy.

I'm still amazed that such a movie has made it to the screens. It might've seemed funny then, but it has become the most prophetic movie ever made. It's the scariest movie I've seen yet.

The golden moment when a perfect script gets in the hands of a great actor and director.
