    Today, with the rapid expansion of the TV industry, everyone's life has changed more or less. We have begun to believe in and be fascinated by the virtual world. What can this world bring us? Is it a sensory stimulus that cannot be experienced in real life? Or step by step toward the abyss of loss of...

    How the Age of Amusement to the Dead began, the earth is flat, the world is ruled by the Giant Company, all of these have been revealed as early as 1976, and in this film, you can see these signs, the beginning of the...

    I didn't see the long-awaited specific operation of the media trying to manipulate the audience's mind, and it's not the audience in front of the TV that is crazy, but the TV people behind the TV, I'm really disappointed, where are you hiding the conspiracy theory! In addition, I learned that the standard of American TV movies is a young workaholic female producer/director + a middle-aged male broadcaster/producer whose career is in crisis. ....

    Sidru Metney, who makes movies with social topics, has no one who can draw his critical power. The neurotic and bottomless nature of television was predicted before "Entertainment to Die." This movie is also particularly suitable for contemporary people to watch. Movies like "Mobile Phone" and "Perfect Stranger" only involve personal privacy. Thinking about content, living in the way of media, and finally how to go crazy collectively under the guidance of the neurotic prophet launched by the...

    Satires the hypocrisy of the network, its utilitarian and recreational weapons for profit and propaganda. Everything was scripted, including Howard's death - simply because of his low ratings. His angry speeches were stirring because they were real. Diana is the most vivid embodiment of the network - a workaholic who doesn't understand love and lacks feelings, can do unspoken rules, murder, fake anything sensational. How the medium affects and distorts people's...

    Diana, you are the TV station, everything you touch dies with you. Donna Wei is the most outrageous screen bitch I've ever seen, and I rarely have this overwhelming urge to strangle a character. It's a murderous dystopian movie, and everything it points out is still valid, and it only makes one feel what a bastard species human beings...

    When watching the movie, I unconsciously replaced Faye Dunaway as Meryl Streep, William Holden as Al Pacino, Peter Finch as Robert De Niro... The final ending is reminiscent of 2019's "clown". - Howard: I'm crazy, I can't take it anymore! — Diana: I was married for four years and pretended to be having a good time. I did psychoanalytic therapy for six years, pretending to be sane. My husband eloped with his boyfriend...I had an affair with my psychoanalyst and he said I was his worst bed...

Network quotes

  • 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.
