    Great script, the lines can be used for philosophical discussion, the screenwriter's thinking is too macro, it is amazing! What is more worthy of praise is the wonderful group performance, which is...

    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...

    This made me see the most rational truth. In a well-designed show, no one wins, everyone is hysterical about the show, and then let's sit behind the camera and wait for all this farce to end before laughing. so-called...

    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...

    The American TV era in the 1970s was just like the current Internet era, where capital is behind the control and the media guides public...

    8.9/10. ① Reveals the era of entertainment to the death. The main line is that the TV station promotes a lunatic host and male protagonist for the sake of ratings (he is also crazy because he is about to be fired because he is too old), and after being attacked by him, he is forced to "improve", resulting in The male protagonist's ratings declined seriously, so the TV station asked terrorists to assassinate him in order to dismiss him without losing face, which made a wave of popularity by the...

    1. There are always people who kindly want to wake me up from slumber, but I always don't want to wake up, because I have no choice in the face of the complicated world, or my lazy nature binds the wings of flying. 2. In the face of the hustle and bustle of the world, I have nowhere to...

    For the United States, which has just experienced the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and inflation, the film is mixed with too much catharsis. And this is not a simple demonstration of the crazy media, but also a collective reflection on the socialization of the people. The way of acting is slightly radical, and the Oscar winner after Peter Finch's death is also a...

    American TV is a really interesting thing. Ratings are...

    Most of the time I watched it, I was thinking, because I didn't know the background of that era, I didn't understand why it was hysterical and inexplicable, I could see the metaphor but didn't know what it was. But by the last half hour, I was shocked, and I felt like I saw, about the demise of television, real life, America, and even the world. The last scene made me relive how the events in the Philippines made me feel. Hollywood can't make movies like this...

    Don't pretend to be okay

    This is not a politically correct article. Politically correct is bullshit. If not all, then most of it is like this.

    Why did TV fall to this point? Who caused it? Less watching others, less pretending The look of innocence was not caused by audiences like you and me.

    Why did Howard's...

    The first host to be murdered by terrorists due to low ratings

    Television changed everything.

    Murder, war, things that should be sad, are now just a bunch of numbers that make people feel sluggish and lose their enthusiasm for life.

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.
