Deconstruct the era and media ahead of Postman's "Entertainment to Die"! The media smog is shocking. The world is a big net of interests. People will do anything for profit, even murder. As said in the video: life is bullshit! Almost everyone in the whole film is crazy because of profit. Except for Howard, who was sober and just used his madness to vent. And the director is sarcastic with sarcasm. To know the truth, don't watch...

This is not a movie, but a narration that addresses the shortcomings of the times: Selling your soul to gain attention and search for achievements (benefits), you will eventually fall into impetuousness, numbness and emptiness. This fable is true to terrible, applicable to all eras after the birth of mass communication. . The director and screenwriter are very...

The impeccable performance and the famous performance in the film history are a serious deconstruction of the media's role in guiding the public. At the same time, the fake producer's mouth has ridiculed and criticized the meaningless entertainment and TV programs at that time. Unlike Woody Allen, Lumet's film sex seems to be able to be isolated from the relationship and become a traditional Hollywood irony, but Woody can't, that must be a condiment. In the end, in addition to complimenting...

The male protagonist caused his own destruction by grandstanding, and the same is true for this film. Exaggerated dramatic conflicts, crazy performances, pretentious preaching, and bloody extramarital love routines, just turned a satirical tragedy into a stupid TV series, which is...

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.
