Great script, the lines can be used for philosophical discussion, the screenwriter's thinking is too macro, it is amazing! What is more worthy of praise is the wonderful group performance, which is...

The host announced during the live broadcast that he would commit suicide during the live broadcast. Since then, the ratings of his show "The Howard Beale Show" have been soaring, reaching a peak of 62 million viewers nationwide, saving his TV station that has been losing money for five consecutive years. When the popularity of the show begins to decline and it can no longer make money, what fate will await...

This made me see the most rational truth. In a well-designed show, no one wins, everyone is hysterical about the show, and then let's sit behind the camera and wait for all this farce to end before laughing. so-called...

This is a story of an era that shows humanity. Howard Bill is about to be fired because of his low ratings. He is very dissatisfied with saying in front of TV that he is going to commit suicide. Crazy and fierce language caused the public to vent from the inside out, and Howard became a public figure for a while, but people can’t continue to be crazy like this. The president taught Howard a lesson. The most critical guiding ideology is what is the country? It’s an abstraction The concept is...

8.9/10. ① Reveals the era of entertainment to the death. The main line is that the TV station promotes a lunatic host and male protagonist for the sake of ratings (he is also crazy because he is about to be fired because he is too old), and after being attacked by him, he is forced to "improve", resulting in The male protagonist's ratings declined seriously, so the TV station asked terrorists to assassinate him in order to dismiss him without losing face, which made a wave of popularity by the...

1. There are always people who kindly want to wake me up from slumber, but I always don't want to wake up, because I have no choice in the face of the complicated world, or my lazy nature binds the wings of flying. 2. In the face of the hustle and bustle of the world, I have nowhere to...

For the United States, which has just experienced the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and inflation, the film is mixed with too much catharsis. And this is not a simple demonstration of the crazy media, but also a collective reflection on the socialization of the people. The way of acting is slightly radical, and the Oscar winner after Peter Finch's death is also a...

Most of the time I watched it, I was thinking, because I didn't know the background of that era, I didn't understand why it was hysterical and inexplicable, I could see the metaphor but didn't know what it was. But by the last half hour, I was shocked, and I felt like I saw, about the demise of television, real life, America, and even the world. The last scene made me relive how the events in the Philippines made me feel. Hollywood can't make movies like this...

It's bad. I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the...

I can't finish writing short reviews here.
Max is probably the most rational and last conscience character on TV, at least when he's upvoting old friends and dismissing Diane's crazy plot. His righteous image collapsed with the imminent derailment incident, and under the temptation of Diane, a strange woman who was climaxing for ratings,...

Howard Beale: [on the air] Last night, I was awakened from a fitful sleep shortly after two o'clock in the morning, by a shrill, civil and faceless voice. I couldn't make it out, at first, in the dark bedroom. And I said, "I'm sorry, you will have to talk a little louder"... The voice said to me, "I want you to tell the people the truth, not an easy thing to do, because the people don't want to know the truth." And, I said, "You're kidding. What the hell should I know about the truth?" But, the voice said to me, "Don't worry about the truth. I will put the words in your mouth." And I said, "What is this, the burning bush? For God sake, I'm not Moses." And the voice said to me, "And I'm not God! What does that got to do with it." And the voice said to me, "We're not talking about eternal truth or absolute truth or ultimate truth. We're talking about impermanent, transient human truth. I don't expect you people to be capable of truth; but, God damn it, at least you're capable of self-preservation!" And I said, "Why me?" And the voice said, "Because you're on television, dummy! You have 40 million Americans listening to you and after this show you could have 50 million. For Pete sake, I'm not asking you to walk the land in sack cloth and ashes, preaching the Armageddon. You're on TV, man!"

Laureen Hobbs: The Ecumenical Liberation Army is an ultra left sect, creating political confusion with wildcat violence and pseudo-insurrectionary acts - which the Communist Party does not endorse. The American masses are not yet ready for open revolt. We would not want to produce a television show celebrating historically deviational terrorism.
Diana Christensen: Miss Hobbs, I'm offering you an hour of primetime television every week, into which you can stick whatever propaganda that you want.
