The Lesson For Today:
If you didn’t know Network is a 1976 movie, you might think Finch’s famed, glorious rant in it is a commentary on today’s current events.
He starts out by saying:
“I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.”
After warming up a bit more, Finch delivers his call to action:
“So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’”
