Do you think that Ron Paul would change the country for good? every president is corrupt, all politicians are corrupt, they think for them selves, not for the people that votes for him or all the people in the world... its all about money... if they need to kill 3000 people to gain millions or billions, they'll do it.
This video segment inspired the Youtube video Rappin Granny tell Pres.Obama "It's time to Nigger-Up. But because of the BIG LIE that we are in a POST RACIAL EPOCH---AND ARE TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE- (which BTW is another term for nigger). SOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING THAT USES THE WORD NIGGER - AND THAT's WHEN "RAPPIN GRANNY SAID "Enough is enough-we're mad as heck-ain't taking no more. We are coming out of the closet-and are going to be hitting the pavement. CU
That's certainly interesting, but I think you miss the point as well... everything that's spoken in this speech is absolutely true in real life... and that's very, very disturbing.
There's a reason this is only a clip, because this speech (out of context) is the only truly important part of that film... kinda like TheMatrix... great special effects... but the real crux is it's message... as insanely far-out as it is, people instinctively recognize a nugget of truth in it... a bell was rung.
I have seen the film not very long ago, I'll have to see it again. Also, that 'quiet chat' with Ned Beatty succeeds in turning Howard from a fire and brimstone radical to a submissive pawn of corporations. That, I feel, is not a good thing against the issues of today.
It is the most unfortunate thing that Howard is a fictional character, because we need a Howard Beale. A man stronger than Howard against the Corporations that had hijacked our Government and are forcing the Occupy protests to disband. We need to use his words and overwhelm our malfunctioning congress, and promote real change.
@35cory85 if you understand the message the other person is conveying why place your priorities on icons and images? it is the idea that matters, not the pictures used to represent it.
@trevzeppelin When you can distinguish the difference between "your" and "you're" and when to use them correctly, people are more likely to your babbling.
If something makes you angry, you want change. These people aren't saying changes starts with anger. They're saying they want to change what makes them angry. It's very simple.
@35Cory85 Be careful when correcting others. "people are more likely to your babbling." That's far worse then what I was doing and by the way I do know the difference between "your" and what is essentially "you are" as in the sentence, "you're an asshole and the rest of your message is diluted by your snobbery." Sorry for the any "your/you're" typos I was just trying to get my message across and wasn't really proof reading something that you seemed to have done too.
Anger is a brilliant motivator for action. Much of the Occupy is simply getting out of the house, getting off the computer, and spending an hour or a day or a week at one of the Occupy events. The first step is get mad, then as we experience at the Occupy, we start to figure out what to do about police violence in collaboration with media ridicule and political spinelessness, and we start to envision a collective response to systemic theft and exploitation.
I love how everyone here thinks of the speech as inspiring call to action. This speech was intended as a warning against letting the news become this. we aren't supposed to actually listen to him and open our windows and start shouting we're supposed to stop shouting senselessly and start actually thinking. We aren't supposed to do as he says we are supposed to do the opposite and for his sensationalizing Beale here meets a fitting and yet horrible tragic end.
@trevzeppelin The difference is the people of today HAVE thought about this. The situation we are in now is well considered, and when taken in that way, this speech is an inspiring call to action. It all matters on point of view. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches were not any different than this man's speech in the grand scale, and yet we regard him positively.
@SgtMustang there's a difference between fighting racial segregation and telling people to yell mindlessly. Beale's rant has no purpose, and look closely, he's in his pajamas because he is quite literally insane. Watch the movie, the stress of being fired and rehired repeatedly makes him go mad. MLK had a goal and moved people to achieve it, he didn't tell people to just yell "I'm mad." If you want to listen to Beale that's fine but don't expect others to care when you start shouting nonsense.
@trevzeppelin See, understand that most people posting have not seen the movie, but this scene stands very well on it's own. Many comparisons can be drawn to today's world: "it's a depression, everybody's out of work or scared of loosing their job, the banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in the streets (The England student protests, for example), nobody seems to know what to do and there's no end to it". It's very relevant. Especially with OWS.
@SgtMustang He also states that none of that is really relevant. "I don't have to tell you things are bad we know things are bad." The thing is what everyone here seems to be taking away from this is "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this any more," and "Invade Wall Street" or what ever protest is currently in the news when these speech has nothing to with any such protests. All that's happening is people are taking an amazing monologue from a film and attaching their frustrations to it.
@trevzeppelin It's called Occupy Wall Street. And this monologue is extremely relevant, you miss the point of the movie. The satire in it is that even though this man is preaching the truth, the network still manages to spin it for their own good, turning his preaching into ratings. The irony is that his own preaching is spawning more of what he is preaching against in the first place. It does NOT however, diminish the significance of the speech. First the people must be mad, after, take action.
@SgtMustang Who cares what it's called. He doesn't preach the truth it's hate filled drivel. Muslims want to buy this network it's the end of the world! Besides getting mad doesn't help anything if you wan't to get mad and take action start a fucking riot people will probably take more note of that anyway. The satire is in them taking advantage of his madness and then killing him for bad ratings. If you really find this inspiring go watch Glenn Beck he's modeled after this and often quotes it.
@trevzeppelin It isn't hate filled drivel, there isn't one word of hate in here.He never once mentions any group in here, only saying that the world has some terrible problems. And yes, getting mad DOES help, why do you think revolutions happen, why do you think riots begin? Because people get MAD. If people were content, as he describes "Just let us sit in our houses with our tv's and toasters and steel belted radials and I won't say anything!" He is merely trying to plant the seeds, unrest.
@SgtMustang Watch the movie he has an entire rant about Muslims buying out the station and of course getting made starts riots my point was riots don't solve anything. Noting I've said implied you should sit in your house doing nothing I just said getting pissed off solves nothing and shouting random crap solves nothing. Oh and by the way, The Velvet Revolution. No one was pissed the just wanted a change they jangled their keys and Czechoslovakia stopped being a communist nation.
@trevzeppelin I'm talking solely about this scene, not the rest of the movie. And yes, anger by itself doesn't do anything, but when applied in a constructive way, it can be a huge motivator for change. People only try to change things because they are fed up, angry, or upset with the way things currently are. This scene does not have to be taken so literally, all he is doing is telling people to become aware of their situation, identifying a problem is half the battle.
@SgtMustang Stop trying to read too much into this, your finding things that aren't there and forgetting things that are. Things I've already pointed out to you. "I don't have to tell you things are bed we know things are bad." He's not alerting people to the problem at all he says himself everyone already knows about the problem. Also you once again falsely associate anger with being fed up. Anger is a destructive force it can't be channeled in a constructive way.
@SgtMustang Lets go back to your comparison to MLK. Watch his speeches. He doesn't speak with anger, he doesn't shout in rage, he speaks with commitment and passion. That's why he was inspiring, that's why people fallowed him, and that's why he brought about change. Listen to someone who has a lot of experience with anger, it only leads to negative things. You have to learn to let go of anger. If you want to channel something channel passion, channel commitment, channel rationality not madness.
@trevzeppelin Sure he doesn't show it, but at the end of every ambitious person burns a flame, no matter how conserved. Martin Luther King Jr. was very good at staying calm, but like any human being, he got mad, he was fed up with the way they were treated, and he decided to take action, he didn't take action through riots, but he was still angry nonetheless, if he weren't angry at all, that would mean he wasn't against it at all. Anger is a means to action, it is our most basic instinct.
@SgtMustang How many times do I have to say it? Being fed up with something DOES NOT equate to anger. Anger is unnecessary in the desire to change the world for the better. You DO NOT need to be angry to want to do something. Your continually confusing anger with other feelings and emotions and this is the third time I've said they aren't the same your just not listening and are therefore not worth the time it takes to type responses. If you're ready to listen come talk to me again.
@trevzeppelin I don't even know how this relates at all to the topic of the video, so it didn't even make sense for it to be going on anymore anyways.
@SgtMustang This was also later mirrored in their Velvet Divorce when the country split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The problem is you and most other people here are equating dissatisfaction with anger. You can be unsatisfied with the current state of things and act to change them without getting pissed off. Calm down collect your thoughts and make a real point. Offer up a reasonable solution and get people to agree. People will fight it but over time that's what leads to change.
@trevzeppelin I'll preface this comment by saying that this is the only scene from Network that I've seen, and that I'm not involved in the Occupy protests.
I don't think shouting senselessly is always counterproductive. I'm not qualified to make decisions regarding the American economy. This summer during the debt ceiling fiasco, THE ONLY thing I could do was get mad. It's productive to let Congress know that you're unhappy with what they're doing. *Sometimes* it will push them to improve.
@trevzeppelin The film IS a warning against news becoming "newsertainment" and what can happen if it does. The problem, though, isn't when people respond en masse to something they see on television, it's when they do so because they get caught up in it without thinking and, therefore, get led around by their noses doing the bidding of those in charge. That's how we've gotten sold out to big business and political interests--by not thinking for ourselves and believing what we're told.
@david10291029 You're right about the teacher thing but wrong about the curtains. A good author would pick a specific color to represent something. Just stating the the curtains are blue is mostly meaningless and would only serve to paint the scene but if aspects of the scene don't mean anything then the scene doesn't mean anything. Who cares what color the curtains are unless it means something deeper. As for your more pertinent point what I said is obviously implied if you'd watched the movie.
@trevzeppelin I agree except expressing your anger in the way he admonishes us is a good thing, then the intelligent discussion can begin. We all have to see that we are not alone... WE ARE NOT ALONE IN OUR ANGER!!!
Actually I though the whole point of the speech was that, before you can change anything, you have to want change. The fact that people perverted his message by convincing themselves and others to stop at step 1, is a warning to people that they can't do that; they must follow through.
@Terthna1 Agreed - they turned him and made him look like a nut - like in the end of the movie the great speech about the one world system - also a movie like this was also made by the supposed system and you are allowing no variables - such as beale truly is crazy... had he not been truly crazy he may have had the sense to realize what he was saying, and use it - for instance again he accepted the speech that it was inevitable - and he gave in - that is the key. he gave in.
If you need more inspiration or more reason to get up and do something, view the "Network Redux" video. This video has all the best and inspiring scenes from this revolutionary film, rolled up in one. Just type 'Network Redux" into your search box. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!
I recall watching the movie years ago and thinking that such a time would never come. But, the time has come, and it is relevant. It's time to take a stand.
@8000cheese Hey, I did come here because of that, but the movie is really about how corporate america even manages to manipulate public anger for it's own gains. I'm just here for the angry part ;-)
@softan AND theres the problem right there. Pure and utter ignorance. You really are thick as pig shit. EXTREMISM OF ANY NATURE IS AGAINST HUMAN NATURE.
@triplekill36 Yeah it's a movie It was written by Milos Forman it was called Network The star was William Holden and he was amazing but not so electrifying as Peter Finch who went crazy in slow motion. The speech he gives where he promises to commit suicide live on television - he never carried it out - is frightening.
Every word of it is the one which every person from every country thinks but is silent for years. Just do it, I Am As Mad As Hell And I Am Not Going To Take This Anymore.
@Slimdawgc But "the media" has changed. Arab Spring never would have occurred without Facebook and similar websites. The ABC's, BBC's and NBC's of the world are losing their relevance, and I don't see anyone who can stop that trend, including the advertisers, which are a major source of today's problems anyway. It's news to ABC that retirement age is getting higher, but being unemployed at age 59, what relevance does that "media" coverage have? Does anyone think I can buy a sponsor's new car?
he brings up a good point. Clearly mad, but a good point nonetheless. As for those quoting it and using in intelligent conversation, then it would be like saying Holden Caulfield had genius ideas.
...Has anyone using that quote ever seen this movie? It's about a newscaster going (literally) batshit crazy and the network exploiting his insane rant for ratings.
But hey, politico wannabes, you go right ahead and keep quoting a lunatic, thinking it's some sort of profound notion.
Why are we letting the Tea Partiers being the only ones mad as hell? I'm mad as hell at their fucking ignorance and trying to destroy our government and our country. If any of you need any lessons on why we need government, contact me. As an example, I will point out the roads you drive on. Do YOU want to pay personally for upkeep, and how would you apportion it out. The Tea Party has gone a long way on anger, they're way short on knowledge.
What's the difference between paying upkeep for roads or paying endless taxes to government for wars and bailing out banks. Fuck you I don't need government, I want to decide myself where my earned money goes.
FREAKIN RIGHT!!! I'M MAD AS HELL AN DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS CONGRESS ANYMORE!!! COME ON PEOPLE - GET TO TOWNHALL MEETINGS AND DO THE SAME THING TO YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE...ALL OVER THE USA.
I'm very sad reading all of your comments...You clearly didn't understand the message that these scene contains.This was not a revolution , or people waking up from the illusion(they thought they were)! The women was very excited when she heard how much people is screaming.You wanna know why? Because she understood that people listens to EVERYTHING that they say on TV , she also understood that TV is the best way to control people.Please think , or somebody is going to think for you...
@dorksied "Tax breaks and subsidies to the richest"....Lol.....You're crazy!!!. The richest of all....I had to LOL again. You mean Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc. I doubt they're receiving subsidies. Or George Soros....Huh?. Lol Silly Libeeral. and lol @ social security is a right. LMFAO!. Entitlement obligations are currently at $60 Trillion. But no we dont want to hurt the poor, let's continue down the road we're in. Simply one conclusion - Liberalism is a mental disorder
I live in a country (Israel) who's rent has doubled in the past 5 (or so) years. While the buying power of my money has decreased. I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore!

@SgtMustang How many times do I have to say it? Being fed up with something DOES NOT equate to anger. Anger is unnecessary in the desire to change the world for the better. You DO NOT need to be angry to want to do something. Your continually confusing anger with other feelings and emotions and this is the third time I've said they aren't the same your just not listening and are therefore not worth the time it takes to type responses. If you're ready to listen come talk to me again.

@trevzeppelin I don't even know how this relates at all to the topic of the video, so it didn't even make sense for it to be going on anymore anyways.
SgtMustang 3 months ago
@SgtMustang This was also later mirrored in their Velvet Divorce when the country split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The problem is you and most other people here are equating dissatisfaction with anger. You can be unsatisfied with the current state of things and act to change them without getting pissed off. Calm down collect your thoughts and make a real point. Offer up a reasonable solution and get people to agree. People will fight it but over time that's what leads to change.

@trevzeppelin I'll preface this comment by saying that this is the only scene from Network that I've seen, and that I'm not involved in the Occupy protests.
I don't think shouting senselessly is always counterproductive. I'm not qualified to make decisions regarding the American economy. This summer during the debt ceiling fiasco, THE ONLY thing I could do was get mad. It's productive to let Congress know that you're unhappy with what they're doing. *Sometimes* it will push them to improve.

@trevzeppelin The film IS a warning against news becoming "newsertainment" and what can happen if it does. The problem, though, isn't when people respond en masse to something they see on television, it's when they do so because they get caught up in it without thinking and, therefore, get led around by their noses doing the bidding of those in charge. That's how we've gotten sold out to big business and political interests--by not thinking for ourselves and believing what we're told.

no faggot, you're like an English teacher. Example: a quote from a random book
"the curtains were blue"
1. what the teacher thinks the author meant "the curtains represent his deep sadness and depression."
2. what the author actually meant " the curtains were fucking blue."
he meant what he said, silly fuck.
david10291029 2 months ago 2
@david10291029 You're right about the teacher thing but wrong about the curtains. A good author would pick a specific color to represent something. Just stating the the curtains are blue is mostly meaningless and would only serve to paint the scene but if aspects of the scene don't mean anything then the scene doesn't mean anything. Who cares what color the curtains are unless it means something deeper. As for your more pertinent point what I said is obviously implied if you'd watched the movie.

Actually I though the whole point of the speech was that, before you can change anything, you have to want change. The fact that people perverted his message by convincing themselves and others to stop at step 1, is a warning to people that they can't do that; they must follow through.

@Terthna1 Agreed - they turned him and made him look like a nut - like in the end of the movie the great speech about the one world system - also a movie like this was also made by the supposed system and you are allowing no variables - such as beale truly is crazy... had he not been truly crazy he may have had the sense to realize what he was saying, and use it - for instance again he accepted the speech that it was inevitable - and he gave in - that is the key. he gave in.

@Slimdawgc But "the media" has changed. Arab Spring never would have occurred without Facebook and similar websites. The ABC's, BBC's and NBC's of the world are losing their relevance, and I don't see anyone who can stop that trend, including the advertisers, which are a major source of today's problems anyway. It's news to ABC that retirement age is getting higher, but being unemployed at age 59, what relevance does that "media" coverage have? Does anyone think I can buy a sponsor's new car?
