To end with this film, I've watched all the American Film Institute's 100 Best American Movies and IMBD's Top 150 Movies. Fortunately, network is the last one. As a person who studied journalism, in this film, you can see all the imagination of communication and the shadow behind media management. In the 1970s, when TV gradually occupied human social life, this film made a crusade against TV. In a society without tyrants, television has become the new master. People regard news, concerns and opinions on TV as the reality around them, which is the so-called media equivalent. It still seems close to reality. Thanks to the turbulent '70s and sub-noir dramas, it's a little less visceral about journalism ethics than Ace In Hole, but it gives journalism a sharp panorama. I had to stand with my legs upright and applaud the director. The era of my AFI movie list is over, it's time to watch my own

The big boss jansen's speech is too powerful to tell the contemporary world under globalization that the power of mass media has been remembered so far. The crazy power of mass media and the evil power of capital afterwards are crazy to death!

The crazy satire of the year now seems to hit the red heart at every point. Such a prophecy is scary. The only thing that skips tone is the "older generation" moral rhetoric represented by the head of the news department. Fortunately, the film does not regard it as the final answer, but shows its layers of decline.

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!
