Martin Scorsese also described him as a New York filmmaker at heart. However his films, which reveal the nitty-gritty of life in New York, are relevant to Egypt today.
One in particular, Network, about duplicity and deceit in the media, reflects concerns facing Egyptian society. In the film a fictional television station, Union Broadcasting System UBS , is struggling with low ratings and is on the verge of closure.
The audacity of the media in twisting the truth and broadcasting lies has been evident during the current Arab uprisings. In Egypt state television claimed that protestors in Tahrir Square were receiving money and meals from KFC and even got a woman to assert that she was one of the protesters and had been trained in the US and other countries.
Not only does the film criticise the media organisations themselves, but it sheds light on those working in the industry and how the environment affects them on a personal level. The Christansen character, who develops from a publicity-seeker to an obsessive workaholic who would do anything to get higher ratings, was an excellent portrayal of those working in television.
Even her romantic life suffered from her total absorption in her work and demonstrated how individuals can become blank human beings, without a soul or essence - a humanoid, as Beale says on his show. The film, set in the room where the jury is sent to debate on the evidence from the trial until they reach a unanimous verdict, has the viewer engrossed.
The jury is swayed by the apparent facts that a year-old boy is guilty of murder because of two eyewitness accounts and a threat he made to kill his father.
One exception is the juror, played by Henry Fonda, who wants to give the boy a chance by fully investigating the details. Aug 28, I would like to read and review your book if it is a physical copy.
