Description: The 2019 movie *Network* tells a story that draws parallels to Peter Weir’s *The Truman Show*. In *Network*, a filmmaker named Abhijit Ganguly, desperate to create a final masterpiece after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, faces betrayal and failure. Determined to leave a lasting legacy, he devises an unusual and extreme plan for revenge.
While the plot holds promise, the execution falls short. The script is poorly developed, and the film’s pacing feels unnecessarily drawn out. For much of the runtime, the narrative lacks clarity, leaving viewers confused about the story’s direction. A more concise approach could have improved the overall experience. Despite its flaws, *Network* attempts to explore themes of control, betrayal, and the human desire for legacy, echoing the thought-provoking nature of *The Truman Show*.
