Network

So there was once this movie, with a pretty sweet cast and interesting story line. It captivated it's audience by getting them emotionally invested in some areas. But somewhere along the lines, they couldn't think of a good ending. So the producers pondered really hard how to make a quality ending. It was not going to be easy, there were 10 different main characters and no way out of this already long script. Then as an easy way out, maybe to save production costs they decided to just kill off the main character (in my opinion).

SPOILERS!!!!!

Network was an interesting tale of a man who wanted high television ratings. At the beginning of the film he says he is going to kill himself, and at the end, he was killed. Maybe I do not know much about screenplay writing, but I know the easiest way to end a movie has to be the worst way to end a movie. I expected a suicide, and I deserved a suicide. At the end of the film when the Network decided to commit the murder, I was positive the suicide would have happened first. Instead, they took the easy road. Just think if the Bible ended with Jesus getting struck by lightening once rather than a trudge through the masses of people with a cross on his back. Pretty weak Network. Maybe let the Coen Brothers do a rewrite.

  1. I totally agree! I thought the ending sucked and was the easy way out for them...it sure as heck wasn't what I was expecting.
