This movie is a very clear depiction of what actually happens behind curtains of the news room. Network is all about giving the audience a unique exposure which very few documentaries or movies have ever highlighted.
From changing the theme of a news program to a social propaganda show, from changing a positive news to a negative news and vice versa , from making deals with a group of radical left-wing terrorists who film themselves robbing banks, footage to be used as a new series based on terrorists.
The movie also showed what the horrible end of such hungry people for money and fame, who have killed their consciousness and left their professional values for the sake of getting to the top and being in the lime light. (The Producer of entertainment programming, Diana Christensen's (Faye Dunaway)
Talking about the mad social prophet who realized the power of media and wanted to bring a change in the monotonous ideology of the public also had to be taken off from the screen. Besides the fact that the gate keepers and the owners of the media used him a lot making ratings and revenues, but this man Howard Beale (Peter Finch), was becoming a pain for them and eventually these shadow dancers made him dead.
Now the question remains will this a ongoing practices of these shadow dancers to eliminate anyone and everyone who comes in between their ferocious agenda???
