    Are you attacking reality? Are you mocking society? Of course, but such absurd plot makes people seem so natural, but the huge tension contained in it is ready to come out, especially Mr. Jensen's sermon and that speechless...

    The roaring body, especially the roaring thing, can travel through the times to today, not just loud. An excellent script worth chewing over and over again, a textbook-level ensemble performance, and a socially critical Sidney Lumet. "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!...

    Going from 2 to 4 in the middle of the night forced me to think about the meaning of the medium now. It used to be "Entertainment To Die", now it is "Black Mirror", will we end up being played to death by the things we like. The advent of the Internet era is an extension or an end to this proposition. Allow me to think...

    A huge slap in the face of modern people We are not human, we are humanoids, indifferent to pain, incapable to love, buying and selling our fears, wearing people down and toss them away, we are network, we are television ourselves...

    Television is not the truth. Television is a god damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers…We're in the boredom killing...

    It is also a film about a female TV producer. When I watch this film, I unconsciously compare it with the BBC's The Hour. Whether it's BBC or UBS women, the biggest thing they have in common is that they are extremely tired of family and down-to-earth lives. Another point of thought is that the higher the ratings, the more inciting the audience will be and the more they will treat the audience as...

    Coinciding with Botzman's "Entertainment to Death", it shows the phenomenon that the medium is a myth of nothingness and a tool for mass entertainment. The media people know the truth, so the trend of entertainment and advocacy is inevitable, and makes life gradually become a vassal of TV programs. Therefore, the shaping of the heroine's role is symbolic, and the existence of extramarital affairs is more entertainment and life. collide with each other, and the result is natural destruction, so...

    Mapping and satirizing reality with absurd and crazy destruction, dense information bombards nerves from beginning to end; Sidney Lumet is such a great...

    It is a rare performance award winner, but the winners are really regular. The male protagonist and the male supporting role each gave a long and passionate speech, and the female supporting role took less than ten minutes to appear, which was also an emotional monologue. Downaway is really good. Holden also nominated the name, in fact, it is similar to before, only 58 years old, Cary Grant is still alive at this age, Holden is old, still...

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.
