    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...

    It's a good movie. It's all old acting. It's been developed to that extent since 1977--both TV networks and the film...

    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...

Network quotes

  • 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.
