There is a scene early on in Saptaswa Basu’s film Network, where a character passes by a television set, and in a blink-and-you-will-miss-it moment, you see a film playing on the television. That film is Australian filmmaker Peter Weir’s The Truman Show, in which a skilled and somewhat ruthless showrunner Ed Harris manipulates and controls the life of an unsuspecting do-gooder – played beautifully by Jim Carrey – in the eponymous reality television show that is being watched by millions of people around the world. Call it an Easter egg, or call it a tribute, but Basu’s film has a somewhat close (and certainly healthy) resemblance to Weir’s remarkable film, where one man decides to play God by controlling other people’s lives with the help of technology.Network 2019 Movie Download.
But while Weir’s deft touch and Carrey’s career-best performance made that film what it is today, Basu’s attempt comes across as an amateurish one, plagued with problems in virtually every department that I can think of.A washed out filmmaker named Abhijit Ganguly is running from pillar to post trying to make his new film, but things take a dismal turn when he learns that he has cancer. With only a few more days left to live, Abhijit vows to make a swansong film that he will be remembered for. Things do not work out for him, thanks to several people who betray his trust. With nothing left to lose now, Abhijit decides to take revenge in a strange, obscure and rather far-fetched manner.
Basu’s film may have a good plot, but the script is poorly written. For almost an hour or so of this rather unnecessarily lengthy film, one does not even understand what is going on and why we are being shown what we are witnessing on screen. This uncomfortable feeling of being lost and clueless would not have been so problematic, if only these scenes would have been more condensed.
