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.

And TV did what a terrorist would do.

Only interests, no truth or falsehood

While criticizing commercialization, it excavated the inner contradictions of the characters. "The film still seems to be of realistic significance even today.
