    Deconstruct the era and media ahead of Postman's "Entertainment to Die"! The media smog is shocking. The world is a big net of interests. People will do anything for profit, even murder. As said in the video: life is bullshit! Almost everyone in the whole film is crazy because of profit. Except for Howard, who was sober and just used his madness to vent. And the director is sarcastic with sarcasm. To know the truth, don't watch...

    This is not a movie, but a narration that addresses the shortcomings of the times: Selling your soul to gain attention and search for achievements (benefits), you will eventually fall into impetuousness, numbness and emptiness. This fable is true to terrible, applicable to all eras after the birth of mass communication. . The director and screenwriter are very...

    The impeccable performance and the famous performance in the film history are a serious deconstruction of the media's role in guiding the public. At the same time, the fake producer's mouth has ridiculed and criticized the meaningless entertainment and TV programs at that time. Unlike Woody Allen, Lumet's film sex seems to be able to be isolated from the relationship and become a traditional Hollywood irony, but Woody can't, that must be a condiment. In the end, in addition to complimenting...

    It's a good movie. It's all old acting. It's been developed to that extent since 1977--both TV networks and the film...

    The male protagonist caused his own destruction by grandstanding, and the same is true for this film. Exaggerated dramatic conflicts, crazy performances, pretentious preaching, and bloody extramarital love routines, just turned a satirical tragedy into a stupid TV series, which is...

    Television is not the truth.

    Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems, and he died at 11:00 o'clock this morning of a heart condition, and woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble! (normal voice) So, a rich little man with white hair died. What has that got...

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.
