Unknown movie
This movie seems to me a bit incomprehensible. At the beginning, I would be worthless for the heroine, unfair to her, why did I get fired after working so hard, and why I should be angry with those weird anchors. At the beginning, I felt that Mike was simply an old bastard. If you fell, you fell. Why do you keep mentioning the brilliant achievements of the past and not doing this or not. But slowly I became a little confused.
What exactly does this movie want to say? Why are you talking about everything? Could it be that when Mike and Beckley talked that you should not just focus on work and ignore other people who love you? But how I look at the heroine's love, it really looks like a retreat from time to time. Is it about how to integrate the seriousness and entertainment of news? I feel that at the end of the film, the problem of "how to make a doughnut with both sugar and bran" has not been solved. Did reporting the arrest of the governor solve this problem?
And personally, I don’t really like Beckley’s words: "The ratings are king." It is true that their entire program group will not exist without the ratings (to be honest, the entire program group given in the film is united. I am most touched when I am like a family), but I still feel that there must be some bottom line. I still remember that Mike said in his heart that he hadn’t contacted his family for a long time after interviewing the governor and Beckley. He felt a little embarrassed, especially when he entered the “Morning News”, he completely asked him to let go of all his past restraints. Going to the funny show with Noble can really understand how unwilling and painful he is in his heart. That's why he said to the news broadcast on TV: "That's my position." Although I can understand certain principles of giving up myself in order to live, I don't like it. Many TV programs nowadays, I don’t want to name them anymore. They are no longer entertainment but close to vulgarity. Maybe they will argue that this is what the audience likes. But as a media person, you must not only cater to the audience but also guide the audience!

Morning Glory quotes

  • Mike Pomeroy: Nobody really cares that I can do this job, but... but I can. I wanted you to see that.

    Becky Fuller: That was a great story, Mike. That was... that was better than a great story, that was great television. I mean, that was bran with a donut. A bran donut.

    Mike Pomeroy: I've got a grandkid. Did you know that? Alexander. I haven't seen him since I got fired. I was embarrassed... after all I'd accomplished. And then to... come back to the news... this way. The truth is, I'd... I'd screwed up with my kids way before I got canned. Anyway, I was never at home and... when I was, I took every phone call, watching TV out of the corner of my eye. Why am I telling you this? You're worse than I am. You'd sleep at the office if you could. Let me tell you how it turns out. You end up with... with nothing. Nothing. Which is... which is what I had. 'Till you came along.

    Becky Fuller: Wait a second. Did you just say something nice to me?

    Mike Pomeroy: I told you I could banter.

  • Becky's Mom: Did you get any severance?

    Becky Fuller: Uh... there were some budgetary cuts last year, so they weren't really offering. But I have feelers out. Lots.

    Becky's Mom: Yeah, great. Honey, you think "The Today Show" is gonna call you up and hand you a job, and you have since you were eight, and it's not gonna happen.

    Becky Fuller: I don't... I know that, I do. I get it.

    Becky's Mom: This is partly my fault. I... I let your father get your hopes up. He was not a happy person, let's face it. When he saw you aim high, he started to feel better about himself, so I never said anything.

    Becky Fuller: What are you saying?

    Becky's Mom: You had a dream, you know? Great. When you were eight, it was adorable. When you were 18, it was inspiring. At 28, it's officially embarrassing. And I just want you to stop before we get to "heartbreaking".
