I recently watched the Paranoia Trilogy with this being the final one I watched. It’s a great movie. Unfortunately it made more sad than either of the other two. The movie presents the press as people that will doggedly pursue the truth and inevitably those truths will help bring justice. Honestly, the movie left me feeling depressed because that ideal feels like an impossibility now. The movie felt like a fairy tale. Parallax View felt much more in line with what America has become.
I do highly recommend all three movies though. Klute especially doesn’t get enough love and was the most memorable for me.
















It’s Pakula’s three movies in the 70s that all had the theme of political paranoia. I mentioned them in my previous comment and they’re all definitely worth a watch.
Klute (1971)
The Parallax View (1974)
All the President’s Men (1976)
Here’s an article about them as a group
