    "There is no America. There is only IBM and ITT...The world is college of corporations." Multinational companies rule the world with a gentle mind control net. This is the true meaning of Network. Share similar ideologies with Cyberpunk and Wasteland Flow. They are all followers of...

    Oh oh oh~~~ I got goose bumps all over my body, too sturdy! I just want to give ten stars! The emptiness and madness of the media, the susceptibility to manipulation and agitation of the masses, the core nature of currency and capital operation, the prediction of global economic integration, the personal life in the modern media society is like a show, emotions are fast, fast decay, fast leave, or hysterical Either insensitive... the sharp analysis of all angles and levels is almost cut to...

    It is not bold to put the absurd into the news. In my opinion, the whole movie has inevitably moved closer to the direction of drama. If it is to predict the speculative degradation of the news industry or the alienation of human beings under the machine civilization, writing a book is A more suitable way of expression. Such high-tempo climaxes dilute the energy of the climax, making every speech blank and clear, dull and...

    I can't finish writing short reviews here.

    Max is probably the most rational and last conscience character on TV, at least when he's upvoting old friends and dismissing Diane's crazy plot. His righteous image collapsed with the imminent derailment incident, and under the temptation of Diane, a strange woman who was climaxing for ratings,...

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.
