Topic: Network (film)


  
  Network (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Network is a 1976 satirical film about a fictional television network named Union Broadcasting System (UBS) and its struggle with poor TV ratings.
Beatrice Straight, who played Holden's wife in the film, won the 1976 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress; her's was the shortest performance ever to win the award (her character was on screen for a less than six minutes).
The film is regarded as prophetic, in that it depicted the concept of reality television a generation before it actually came into being.

 Network (1976)
Network (1976) is director Sidney Lumet's brilliant criticism of the hollow, lurid wasteland of television journalism where entertainment value and short-term ratings were more crucial than quality.
Indignation toward the network executives by an unbalanced news-anchorman (Finch) ("I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore") is manipulated by ruthless VP programming boss (Dunaway) for further ratings.
The film opens on a wall of four color television monitors, each displaying the evening network news on the four networks: Howard K. Smith (ABC-TV), John Chancellor (NBC-TV), Walter Cronkite (CBS-TV), and a fictional fourth-place network, the Union Broadcasting System (UBS-TV), with silver-haired, veteran news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch).
