A film i have heard of and have been recommended but put off over the years, but honestly so glad to of watched it actually due to a chatgpt suggestion where i put a list of books and films and asked for a recommendation based on those items.
anyway im just glossing, in this thread we can recommend other media that relates.
Withneil and I - is a classic and a favorite of mine as well as George Orwell’s writings.
Now watch “Network” (1976). It’s just getting more and more relevant every year, it’s incredible.
There’s an incredible stage version of it that went on Broadway and the National Theatre in the UK. Bryan Cranston was the main guy.
Most film to theatre adaptations are uninspired money grabs, but the way they do it on stage is incredible. The amount of live screens and projections - the staging is just amazing. I actually didn’t really like the film, but thought the stage version was pretty good. That’s rare. I didn’t think I’d ever call a stage version of a film better than a film.
Its also weird seeing it remade but essentially word for word. Just a very interesting watch. I think National Theatre has a recording of it on their online platform. If they don’t they’re morons. Otherwise there’s clips of it on YouTube.
