Christineoh man, if you know the story of Christine Chubbick, well then you know this film is going to be a sad one
it's probably Rebecca Hall's best performance, ever, as well
but besides the personal story, it's a story about the state of journalism and how the news started to change back in the 70's. Chubbick was fighting against the trend of just shoveling total info-tainment shit to people. was it in
Network (which was somewhat inspired by her story) that it was said that the masses are overall
stupid? and how as journalists you have an obligation to inform and investigate; you don't just gratify that stupidity in order to make money and get ratings.
i actually think it would make for a good C&D discussion. it's amazing how relevant and prophetic Network still is, and it came out 40 years ago...it remains one of my favorite movies, ever.
