Let's talk about media!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 1998)

Scream 2 is a more refined, even if less powerful movie in comparison with the first smashing one. It goes deeper into the debate about the importance of media communication, but obviously it is very far from the various films of the genre (i.e. Network). It is symbolic in most of its features, as strongly demonstrated by the real killer, who is, or seems to be a journalist. Craven and Williamson also underline how media, and not violent movies, can bring young generation to psychic disease. It is not a case that Gale Weathers renounces to her scoop for Linus (it is symbolic, not sentimental). Wonderful, of course the scene in the studios where, behind a glass, Gale meets Linus' hand. It a love declaration for cinema and everything that deals with it!
