Now my mind is full of deep gray, very chaotic. The thoughts were not very clear, so I had to temporarily list the next thoughts one by one. Organize it later.
1. Max, beale and diana represent journalists of different natures. max should be a positive image. Both beale and diana are too extreme. The former is sought after for conveying public anger. The latter does everything in order to watch, blood, terror, and murder, in her opinion, are just sweet cakes that attract the public. The transitional pursuit of ratings has caused her to lose press freedom and press justice.
2. The relationship between the pure News Corporation and the controlling chaebol, the pure contradiction between the news person and the businessman. The chaebol in the film looks very ugly.
3. Beale, the most innocent and lovely old man. His destiny is doomed, so is it the same for the people's democracy movement?
4. Max, a cold-faced middle-aged man, seems to be the only normal character in this play, a journalist with traditional morality, and a journalist with real news significance. He can feel love, pain, loss, happiness, this is the real person. For Diana, it is a kind of courage to be obsessed, but not obsessed, to see the status quo and to get out. It would be great if he could pull the beale, but then there will be no more text.
5. Diana, the incarnation of television? It seems that the screenwriter as a filmmaker does not approve of television, or some of its practices. Is this film revenge or a kind reminder? Can film and television as the media reach a final settlement? Today it seems less hateful.
6. Is ratings the ultimate news? What if it goes against the basic principles of news in order to gain ratings? Murder is an extreme example, but in daily life, more minor examples often occur. Is this still news in the real sense?
7. As the top management jensen, I didn't understand the concept he conveyed through howard beale. Similar to the ultimate goal of society, communism, etc., it just uses vocabulary such as enterprise and business.
8. Mao Zedong's time? Ridiculous
9. The final revelation, to live a real life.
