Story & Aftermath

Television is a business show, and it will do whatever it takes to grab an audience. Making money is king.
Howard Bill, who was almost fired for his low ratings and stayed because he said he was going to shoot himself on the show with the potential to cause a ratings spike, ignited and ignited the show as a symbol of justice and morality The anger of the Americans helped them vent, and the
ratings for the programs that filled the blanks were extremely high, and Howard became a celebrity. But soon, the novelty of people passed, and he was hired by the company to clean up the low ratings. Get out if you can't create a hot spot, and you can't escape the sad fate of being a TV person.
Anyway, I don't like this industry very much, it's very cold and realistic. Although it may seem glamorous to some.

The last shot is very meaningful. Two of the four VTBs show the scene of Howard Bill being shot, and the other two show the shot of the waves hitting the rock and the advertisement starring two children. One Howard Bill goes, a new one will come, be popular, and then fall into disuse. But TV will continue to air, no matter who does it. As the Bible says, "A generation has come and a generation has gone, and the sun still rises."

    This is a story of an era that shows humanity. Howard Bill is about to be fired because of his low ratings. He is very dissatisfied with saying in front of TV that he is going to commit suicide. Crazy and fierce language caused the public to vent from the inside out, and Howard became a public figure for a while, but people can’t continue to be crazy like this. The president taught Howard a lesson. The most critical guiding ideology is what is the country? It’s an abstraction The concept is actually formed by the capital operation of each company. Howard understood the meaning of the president. From now on, he will no longer give frantic speeches, but will actually talk about national politics and capital operation. The audience does not care about these. They come from the middle and lower classes of society because They want to vent their dissatisfaction frantically, but it is conceivable that the ratings have dropped immediately. The president believes that Howard's live broadcast will continue to be maintained, and the TV station leaders think that Howard cannot improve the ratings and cannot cancel the show. Shut up Howard permanently. A social elite must be a minority, and they see the operation of capital very thoroughly.

    We are brothel brothels, and we will do anything to get customers. You are the embodiment of TV, indifferent to pain, dull to pleasure, life is nothing but ordinary rubble, war murders death, to you like a few bottles of beer, everyday life is just a loophole Comedy, you even scatter the sense of time and space into moments and instant replays, you're crazy!

Network quotes

  • [Jensen leads Beale into the conference room]

    Arthur Jensen: Valhalla, Mr. Beale. Please, sit down.

  • Max Schumacher: Howard, I'm taking you off the air. I think you're having a breakdown, require treatment.

    Howard Beale: This is not a psychotic episode. This is a cleansing moment of clarity. I'm imbued, Max. I'm imbued with some special spirit. It's not a religious feeling at all. It's a shocking eruption of great electrical energy. I feel vivid and flashing, as if suddenly I'd been plugged into some great electromagnetic field. I feel connected to all living things. To flowers, birds, all the animals of the world. And even to some great, unseen, living force. What I think the Hindus call prana. But it's not a breakdown. I've never felt more orderly in my life. It is a shattering and beautiful sensation. It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum, save that it is spaceless and timeless and... of such loveliness. I feel on the verge of some great, ultimate truth. And you will not take me off the air for now or for any other spaceless time!
