1. Yes...............

[The Blue Flower]

2. For some time now

Mad and scared for my grandkids.

3. YUP

[Grim Chieftain]

4. Angry, disheartened, depressed

This horror show goes on and on, with no one or nothing to stop it.

6. Except Beale died on live television ,didnt he?

[Martin Eden]

9. Yes. Assassinated for poor ratings.

Howard Beale became less entertaining after the network exec explained reality to him:

12. This is one of the most prescient films,ever.

Along with Face in a Crowd.

Interestingly,Duvall ,in Network,played a ruthless tv exec..unlikeable,and not his usual typecasting.(But Ned Beatty was cosmic in his role.)

As with Andy Griffith ,in A Face in the Crowd.Sure wasnt good ole Andy of Mayberry in that one!

14. Andy Griffith's character presaged Trump, conning a bunch of rubes

Network is mandatory watching, in my book. The only part I didn't care for was the affair between William Holden and the much younger Faye Dunaway.

That speech by Ned Beatty is the real message of the film, and all too real.

[BattleRow]

15. I agree with your point of view..

but the affair ,to me,illustrated another facet of the ruthlessness of ambition in the media ...and by its ilk.
The third film included in my holy trinity of cinema is Seven Days in May..what a movie!!
Coup d'etat,anyone?

8. Love that movie. Ned Beatty's speech in the oak-panelled corporate board room is even more timely today.

10. Feeling it

Nothing to do but fight back (nonviolently). But fight we must.

17. That's Trump/Republicans, riling up votes to hate and fear Democrats as an existential threat.

[B.See]

18. America's not quite

mad enough, imo. Not by a long shot.
