Anybody seen this? Watched it for the first time yesterday and, I must say, a very good movie and VERY timely for our current state of affairs. Though made 30 years ago... very relevant and a good indication of Camus' famous "the more things change, the more they stay the same."
It's also interesting to think how the Bush Administration might have dealt with a network that wanted to make a show about Terrorists, using live footage of the terrorist events themselves (those who have seen the movie know that a part of it deals with some of the 1970's domestic terrorists, ala Symbionese Liberation Army, Weather Underground, etc.)
I expected it to feel very dated, but it still feels very contemporary. Anyway, if you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend it if you have nothing else to do or your family is driving you nuts this Holiday Season.
Feel free to yell out your window, "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
