from the offset and i know this be go to be a terrific movie and the pace and the cinematography and personality indigenous to the dallas area and the diversification of character and not to mention the director oliver stone and of course eric bogasian . the film start out on a friday ( suggestively occult in the first place ) and begin with a radio station in dallas that be host their number one talk show and the barry champlain show ( base on the talk radio host alan berg ) . barry ( eric bogasian ) be the abrasive radio talk show host and his job be such whereby it be compulsory to pontificate all of the sensationalistic nuance of the radio audience feed into his show . he attempt to commiserate with a bunch of societal deviate turn lonely and vulnerable and obscene phone caller who have the masochistic craving to be publicly vilify and barry champlain be effective in cop with this precarious ilk and by socially debase them rather than simply subjugate them to mere admonishment . new technology serve a stigmatic purpose for the dallas radio audience and and paramount concept take a backseat to perversion and talk about baseball score and orgasm and people pet . the whole thing be a cacophony of drug induce diatribe and a potpourri for psychopathic paranoia . this high profile cannon fodder be something that barry champlain thrives on . the convoluted pathos and the deranged proclivity deeriving from inaneities and puveyors of pornography and the overall pop culture affliction serve a volatile ammunition for barry champlain stilted battleground . the setting for this movie be perfect in that there be a two thousand foot drop in term of ideology . in the the center of dallas there be an overbear sense of cosmopolitan awareness and whereby 20 mile away reside a significant chapter of the ku klux klan . the play be base in denver and that be where the actual story take place and other small theater play depict the city of louisville and atlanta and cleveland . dallas be the city where the film take place and i think it be an excellent choice . this movie illustrate how people have a horrid and erroneous and deadly misconceptualization of the jewish people in america and whereby they control the bank and their agenda be different than everybody else and their intellectual literature lead to perversion . these preconceived notion compound barry champlain overall dilemma . barry champlain personal undoing be whereby he be irascible and non responsive to his alcoholism and and his abrasive and politically controversial nature be his ultimate undoing and this be what make the film so believable . the character in the movie be well portray and dan and the tailor make for middle management hatchet man ( play by alec baldwin ) who be constantly monitor barry champlain every move . laura and his girlfriend and also his producer and will constantly feel barry be someone who be always misunderstood . ellen and his ex wife and be a recipient of barry anguish and selfishness and but can not quite relinquish her feeling for barry regardless of the path of personal destruction he wind up resort to . the dallas radio audience be a melt pot of socially misplace retro bates who be dementedly amuse by their own real shortcoming . in part and everybody hang ups include barry champlain own hang ups be what do barry champlain in . his audience ogles depravity and solicit amelioration and ultimately become barry champlain pet project for prescribed sinner . social culture conflict become barry champlain downfall . this movie be superb . in my opinion oliver stone best picture and include platoon and natural born killer . that statement in of itself tell you how magnificent a film talk radio be . the story consulting and acting and co produce of eric bogosian be simply compel . the camera angle and the dialogue and the haunting character portrayal and all top notch . the cinematography of the dallas skyline at the end of the movie be terrific . dallas have the dubious distinction of be deem a mega metropolis . so now and just like los angeles and new york and there be crack baby case too numerous to count and low cost housing neighborhood from hell and budget cut that will mean there will be a significant number of people who will be dead by this time next year . dallas assert it status a a major metropolitan area in the precarious manner by which human debauchery prevail . the city have it lynch radio listener who have give a pejorative spin to the marvel of nationwide air wave communication . these be the culprit in the movie . the ghoulish tabloid derelict who want to meet the big bad wolf and and their decadent curiosity have morally obliterate the last neighborhood in america .
