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...

The American TV era in the 1970s was just like the current Internet era, where capital is behind the control and the media guides public...

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...

Howard Beale: We'll tell you anything you want to hear, we lie like hell.

Howard Beale: [arms outstretched to the heavens] Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems, and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition, and woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!
Howard Beale: [calmly strolling toward the audience] So. A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And *why* is that woe to us? Because you people, and sixty-two million other Americans, are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA - the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?
Howard Beale: [ascending the stage] So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.
