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...

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...

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.
