“WHATS SO GOD DAMN FUNNY?!”> “A modern day profit, denouncing the hypocrisies of our time,”> “I’m a human being god damn it, my life has value!!”> “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!”> ”the world is a business, Mr Beale.”> ”it’s the individual that’s finished.” I swear Faye Dunaway is never acting because she always plays the stubborn asshole who has a power complex, but damn she plays it well.
The exploitation of a mad man that hit the nail on the head once and ran with it! At first I was struggling on why people were saying how current this movie is but I slowly started to get it. We need people to get mad but where is the line to strike versus chaos in the streets? When will corporate greed pay its dues and stop using the town freak as a cash cow?
Max’s wife’s speech was so moving and gut wrenching dealing with an emotionally impotent man in his autumnal years cheating on his wife after 25 years of marriage was so sad.
Howard getting the big talking to is so interestingly shot and the speech Jensen gives is somewhat chilling. Talking about the ebbs and flows of big business around the world and how it’s all connected.
Max talking at Diana about his humanity, reality, and morality was so moving and him not getting what he wants from Diana just shows how Diana is only about work and only work which is just sad .
HOW DARE SHE IMPUNE ON HIS COCKSMANSHIP!!!!!
Max saying Diana is Television incarnate is so savage and so true she is heartless and only care of ratings and numbers.
