DVD Commentary (Lunet-Director)


Sidney Lumet was an amazing man. In my opinion he made the (or one of the) greatest films of all time. Right Now! It's live and alive! Watch it and be awestruck with the power of this film. Oh, Sidney do it alonePaddy was always on set to go "Whoa!" When Howsrd Beale comes in the TV station late at night, soaking wet right before he does "mad as hell" scene, Security Guard opens door, "Good evening Mr. Beale" as if he's looking at crazy man; Paddy goes, "No! No! Treat him normal, TVs full of crazy people!" Ha Ha Bill O'Rielly and folks at Fox News, they're #1 and believe their own BS!! Ha Ha they fact checked Fox News 80% of what they say is lies!! Ha Ha and people believe it!! (Poor schumucks).

"This is real." ..,, William Holden breaking up with Faye Dunaway ... It's pure,real emotion. .... This is life. This motion picture ("Network") is so .... Words fail me. Great art does that .. Leaves you speechless.

There's only ONE thing to do: Kill Howard Beale. Gun him down.... Bobby (Bobby Kennedy) ... Martin (Martin Luther King)
You listening?!? .......

Media matters.org did fact check on Fox. That's the guy who did "little bit nutty little bit slutty" on Anita Hill. He was conservative mouthpiece BUT he was gay. Didn't matter as long as he did conservative bidding, but he wrote Hillary book; NOT mean enough, they turned their backs on him. OUT (they're like that). It's all about $$$. "Here's 12 Million dollars, say what we tell you". BUT don't cross us!

Lumet will always have my respect for exposing Paddy Chayefsky blacklisting Vanessa Redgrave
