James L. Brooks
Shawn Glinis provides his personal retrospective of James L. Brooks’ classic comedy Broadcast News on its 30th anniversary, showing us how the film’s understanding of the world colors his own.
Some films parody the media, others predict what effect it will have on us in the future, other movies just have fun with the subject. Whether its a streaming network, printed journalism, television or radio transmissions the media is massive, and inescapable, so why not make movies about this oppressive facet of life? These films vary in years, themes, genre’s and that’s why they are so important.
