[Discussion] 1976's Network is not only a good movie, but also very relevant even in today's time, over 40 years later. *spoilers*

I was surprised by just how clever and self aware the movie was, really showcasing the unique decade that was the 70s for movies. The famous speech that everyone quotes that this movie is famous for, "I'm mad and I'm not gonna take it anymore" doesn't happen at the end of the movie as I always assumed, it actually takes place almost from the beginning, and is used by the studio execs in the movie as a way to get bigger ratings and more profit. Now that is clever. I always assumed it would be this big speech at the end of the movie but the movie takes a much more clever approach than I had ever anticipated.

And I particularly like Faye Dunaway in this movie, when I'd never liked her much before in the other 2 movies I'd seen her in, Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde. I love how cynical she and the other big network heads are, exploiting this crazed man and crazy terrorist organizations at the time for ratings and number 1 tv spots. Truly relevant in this day and age... scratch that, it never stops being relevant.
