Network
Aside from being lengthy and full of long-winded speeches (some of them quite memorable), I enjoyed this movie. William Holden was a breath of fresh air; a character with more than an ounce of morality. Faye Dunaway, although I couldnt stand her shallow character, embodied Diana Christensen flawlessly. I couldn't stop thinking about if TV was corrupt in the 70s...well what does TV say about our culture today?!
Parallax View
I COULD NOT STAND THIS MOVIE! I felt uncomfortable throughout the entire viewing, and seriously considered walking out. The only positive thing was the extraordinary photography and cinematography! Besides that, I completely lost track of the fact that Joe was a journalist. I think he came off as a wanna-be-detective or investigative agent. The depressing ending only reaffirmed my disgust in this film. Don't just take my word for it, when the film was released it didnt exactly get rave reviews from the NY Times either.
