Feelings of the movie "TV Station"

There are many speeches in this film which are very touching. Although I don’t know much about capital operation, I seem to be inspired by these dialogues. Bill (retiring senior host) Frank (department head) Jason (company chairman) Bill : If a company wants to take over another company, it needs to buy a sufficient share of the shares, but it must first file with the government. We bought our company in this way, but now someone wants to buy American Communications Corporation, a so-called Western World Fund. They filed a record with the government this morning. Who is the Western World Fund? It is a consortium of banks and insurance companies. He came American Communications didn't buy it for itself, it was an agent. The real buyer is someone else. Who is it? They won't tell you, they won't tell the Senate, and they won't tell the Department of Justice. I'll tell you the real buyer. Who is it, it is Saudi Arabian Investment Company, it is Saudi Arabian! ........they are everywhere, New Jersey, St. Louisville, St. Louis, Missouri, that's just what we know, and how much we don't know, because their money goes through our country and Swiss banks and The Bank of Canada is laundered, if we don't know the com deal and all that, now the Arabs have made our money and then come back and use our money to buy General Motors, International Business Machines, International Telephone Communications, AT&T, U.S. Steel, etc., they've bought half of England. listen to me, the arabs are buying us, there's only one way to stop them, who is it, it's you, so I'm asking you to get up, get up from your chairs, pick up the phone now, get in the car and drive to the western union Bureau sent to the White House, by midnight I want the White House to get millions of cables, I want them to walk into the White House with knee-length cables, and send President Ford a cable saying, I'm crazy, I can't take it anymore La, please don't sell our country to the Arabs, I want ATCOM to end the deal right now, we ATCOM stop the deal at once, come on, come on, stop the deal right away, no more, I want ATCOM right away Terminate the transaction. . . Frank: I want to print out the script and read it a few more times. You know better than me about the transaction between American Communications Corporation and Saudi Arabia. American Communications Corporation has a loan of more than 2 billion in Saudi Arabia. We have mortgaged everything to them. We need Saudi money. , disaster, this show is a disaster, a disaster, the death knell is ringing, I am dead, dead. Maybe we overestimated Bill's influence. We just called and said that the White House has been walking with telegrams. It will be overwhelmed by telegrams tomorrow. Will the government stop it? It will delay our deal, our deal will be delayed for 20 years. . . Jason: You have interfered with the source of nature, and I do not agree! Get it, you thought you just blocked a deal, but it's far from the truth, the Arabs took billions of dollars from our country, and now they have to pay it back, it's the ebb and flow, the tide of rebuilding , is the ecological balance, you are just an old man who looks at the problem from the perspective of the country and the nation, but in fact there is no country, no nationality, no Russians, no Arabs, no third world and no Western countries, the world is a complete whole, yes A vast expanse of intertwined and interacting multiple variables, ruled by all kinds of money, petrodollars, electric dollars, all kinds of dollars, deutsche marks, yen, rubles, pounds, shekels, it's a decision on this planet The international monetary system of all life, the system that maintains the normal functioning of all life on the planet, this is the law of nature today, this is the structure of the atomic, subatomic, galactic galaxy today, and you destroy the existing harmony of perfection The force of nature and nature, you have destroyed the force of nature, you have to make up for it, do you understand, Mr. Bill, you are standing in front of a 21-inch screen, roaring about America and democracy, in fact, there is no America at all, no Democracy, only International Business Machines Corporation, International Telephone and Telecommunications Corporation, AT&T Corporation, DuPont Dow Eckerson, they are the countries of today's world, do you think members of Congress meet every day to discuss something, they come up with deadlines The big and minimum algorithm and statistical decision theory to calculate the price cost probability of investment transactions, like us, we live in a corner of the world, there is no country, no ideology, Mr. Bill, the world is a society composed of companies , there are eternal laws of business that govern a cruel society, the world is a business, Mr. Bill, it has been since the dawn of mankind, Mr. Bill, our children will live in a perfect world without war and hunger , no oppression and tyranny, there is a huge company for everyone, everyone gets the same pay, everyone holds an equal share, life must be smooth and orderly, all anxiety is relieved, all boredom is quiet, I choose You Mr. Bill came to preach the gospel because you are a public figure, 60 million people watch your show every Monday to Friday night, I see the face of God, are you right Mr. Bill?

    The host announced during the live broadcast that he would commit suicide during the live broadcast. Since then, the ratings of his show "The Howard Beale Show" have been soaring, reaching a peak of 62 million viewers nationwide, saving his TV station that has been losing money for five consecutive years. When the popularity of the show begins to decline and it can no longer make money, what fate will await him?

    I don't think it's too exciting, but I really like Fei Dunaway's character, which is strong, beautiful and impeccable. "I know the first thing you're going to ask me is: what is her weakness? Don't ask. She has no weakness." When Lumet and Fei first met, before they could get to Fei, he just like this said. Yes, that's what she did. Max's wife also did a great job. On the contrary, male characters are not so brilliant. Saw it at the end of September 2014.

Network quotes

  • Louise Schumacher: Do you love her?

    Max Schumacher: I don't know how I feel. I'm grateful I can feel anything.

    [his wife flinches]

    Max Schumacher: I know I'm obsessed with her.

    Louise Schumacher: Then say it. You keep telling me that you're obsessed, you're infatuated. Say that you're in love with her.

    Max Schumacher: [pauses] I'm in love with her.

  • Louise Schumacher: Then get out, go anywhere you want, go to a hotel, go live with her, and don't come back. Because, after 25 years of building a home and raising a family and all the senseless pain that we have inflicted on each other, I'm damned if I'm going to stand here and have you tell me you're in love with somebody else. Because this isn't a convention weekend with your secretary, is it? Or - or some broad that you picked up after three belts of booze. This is your great winter romance, isn't it? Your last roar of passion before you settle into your emeritus years. Is that what's left for me? Is that my share? She gets the winter passion, and I get the dotage? What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to sit at home knitting and purling while you slink back like some penitent drunk? I'm your wife, damn it. And, if you can't work up a whit of passion for me, the least I require is respect and allegiance. I hurt. Don't you understand that? I hurt badly.
