Are you attacking reality? Are you mocking society? Of course, but such absurd plot makes people seem so natural, but the huge tension contained in it is ready to come out, especially Mr. Jensen's sermon and that speechless...

The roaring body, especially the roaring thing, can travel through the times to today, not just loud. An excellent script worth chewing over and over again, a textbook-level ensemble performance, and a socially critical Sidney Lumet. "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!...

Going from 2 to 4 in the middle of the night forced me to think about the meaning of the medium now. It used to be "Entertainment To Die", now it is "Black Mirror", will we end up being played to death by the things we like. The advent of the Internet era is an extension or an end to this proposition. Allow me to think...

A huge slap in the face of modern people We are not human, we are humanoids, indifferent to pain, incapable to love, buying and selling our fears, wearing people down and toss them away, we are network, we are television ourselves...

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…We're in the boredom killing...

It is also a film about a female TV producer. When I watch this film, I unconsciously compare it with the BBC's The Hour. Whether it's BBC or UBS women, the biggest thing they have in common is that they are extremely tired of family and down-to-earth lives. Another point of thought is that the higher the ratings, the more inciting the audience will be and the more they will treat the audience as...

Coinciding with Botzman's "Entertainment to Death", it shows the phenomenon that the medium is a myth of nothingness and a tool for mass entertainment. The media people know the truth, so the trend of entertainment and advocacy is inevitable, and makes life gradually become a vassal of TV programs. Therefore, the shaping of the heroine's role is symbolic, and the existence of extramarital affairs is more entertainment and life. collide with each other, and the result is natural destruction, so...

It is a rare performance award winner, but the winners are really regular. The male protagonist and the male supporting role each gave a long and passionate speech, and the female supporting role took less than ten minutes to appear, which was also an emotional monologue. Downaway is really good. Holden also nominated the name, in fact, it is similar to before, only 58 years old, Cary Grant is still alive at this age, Holden is old, still...

A few confusing revelations, to be sorted out. .
Very old film, but I still feel the same when I saw it today. Fortunately, I didn't miss it.
Now my mind is full of deep gray, very chaotic. The thoughts were not very clear, so I had to temporarily list the next thoughts one by one. Organize it later.

I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS FOREVER!
Sidney's nose is always being pulled by Sidney's nose when watching TV Shows, because the movie doesn't belong to any one genre. We followed Bieux and experienced the triple transformation of his personality and beliefs:
In the first transformation, he transformed from an upright and trustworthy TV...

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.
