    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...

    Globalization is the economic game rule of Western capitalism. It spreads out into a network and then spreads to ideology. Everyone is an insignificant tooth on a huge gear, without you. Monopoly has the shadow of totalitarianism. Lumet is not only criticizing the television industry, but also exposing Western capitalist society to the whole world. A greedy, humanized, cruel capitalist system dripping with blood and dirty every...

    When you meet a media person who can only reach a climax by thinking about the ratings, you should immediately knock her...

    The whole world is business. Personally, I think it is very suitable for the current Chinese people to see how the United States in the 1970s is similar to the current China. In the end we all...

    The film is good, but everyone is a little too excited; almost every subtitle is followed by an exclamation mark, it is recommended that the rant group collect...

    Very predictive. 1. I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE! 2. Lu Meite's films always emphasize story rather than stylization, this time there is still little soundtrack. 3. One of the only two films that have won three Oscars for performance. Beatrice Strett won the Oscar for Best Female Match in just 5 minutes and 40 seconds in the film. 4. The double ironic structure of love and career....

    Director Sidney Lumet first started working at CBS and knew everything about TV stations. When he was young, he was influenced by left-wing ideology. Most of the films have social consciousness. Many films depict small people challenging the system, and they have become victims of society. He doesn't like Hollywood, and 90% of the films are shot on the spot in New...

    Better than "Afternoon on a Hot Day", Sidney Lumet's movie script is very heavy, with clear and powerful expression. Speaking of this, the film perfectly reverses the irreversible impact of television on the world and people themselves. Undoubtedly, the film has a deep understanding of this, and this understanding finally brings a huge sense of despair that permeates the whole...

    A movie that promotes hysteria to the extreme, every character is hysterical, and Sidney's works are as always full of deep thinking about the current state of society. This movie has considerable practical significance even if it is put into today's society. There is no music in the background, and the editing techniques of TV are mostly used, making the film a news series (not referring to the news broadcast or the life of art). The line that compares Diana to TV is...

    In the roaring performance, everyone is a chess piece on the TV network, just like a crazy soap opera, everyone is a jumping clown. The Americans are really crazy, they can come whatever they want, and it's not good to put on TV what they want. . . . . . . Acting textbook, is the male lead a double-yolk...

    Great film about how media works

    Great film about how media works

    Howard's position represents the voice that the people need: simple, rude, empathetic to the vast majority of the civilian class, and a powerful venting channel. His change from prosperity to decline is because he accepted the brainwashing of the big boss and began...

    TV station "crazy" and "cloud"

    "TV" is a film with a rigorous production and a serious theme. At the end of the film, the scene of the four TV shows at the beginning reappears, the news of "Bieux was murdered" and other commercials are continuously broadcast, and a murder with a huge conspiracy has become a fortune for tens of...

Network quotes

  • Max Schumacher: You need me. You need me badly. Because I'm your last contact with human reality. I love you. And that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day.

    Diana Christensen: [hesitatingly] Then, don't leave me.

    Max Schumacher: It's too late, Diana. There's nothing left in you that I can live with. You're one of Howard's humanoids. If I stay with you, I'll be destroyed. Like Howard Beale was destroyed. Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed. Like everything you and the institution of television touch is destroyed. You're television incarnate, Diana: Indifferent to suffering; insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality. War, murder, death are all the same to you as bottles of beer. And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy. You even shatter the sensations of time and space into split seconds and instant replays. You're madness, Diana. Virulent madness. And everything you touch dies with you. But not me. Not as long as I can feel pleasure, and pain... and love.

    [Kisses her]

    Max Schumacher: And it's a happy ending: Wayward husband comes to his senses, returns to his wife, with whom he has established a long and sustaining love. Heartless young woman left alone in her arctic desolation. Music up with a swell; final commercial. And here are a few scenes from next week's show.

    [Picks up his suitcases and leaves]

  • Max Schumacher: After living with you for the last six months, I'm turning into one of your scripts. Well, this is not a script, Diana. There's some real, actual life going on here.
