  • thanks for putting up this movie I was born in 1980 this movie came out in 1976 and it is still relavent to what is going on in 2012

  • "AND IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH GO TO GOD!"

    ahaha no, just no.

  • This Tube? YOU + Tube = "[YouTube]"

  • This Tube? You + Tube = "[YouTube]"

    

  • Im so glad i woke up a few months ago!

  • A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE BELIEVE ONLY THEY SHOULD HAVE FREE WILL

  • A highly recommended movie. Now we are seeing the results f what Howard Beale was talking about. Kudos to Paddy Chayevsky for this expose.

  • If you think this is just about not watching TV, you've missed the point. You can add the Internet, Facebook, Youtube, Playstation, XBox, etc. You need to read Entertaining Ourselves to Death. And it's not about just reading either, but being able to think creatively, insightfully, individually, critically. Most just follow the follower who's following the followed. Zombies.

  • One of the most under-rated movies of all time. There are half a dozen A-plus scenes in here that hit at the core of human nature, global economic domination, ignorance, and pride. Oh, and what TV really is all about. You go, boy!

  • Bush some day you have to be judged , you kill many people around the world , YOU ARE THE BIGGEST TRASH EVER LIVED

    Get it Mike, Ike, Bush falls of his bike

  • The cycloptic void in all our living rooms! ©.

    How sad that this is so f#*king true!

  • Dear eyeCDee,

  • I mean think about all you myspace junkies, and amazon and ebay dot com people that cant even use credit cards, holy shnitz 18 and u worried about findin a job, well sorry kid, u wont find none, on the real stream tho this government is owning us, we are owned by an addiction and there is so gosh dang many, different flavored alchohol's, weed being only partly illegal in cali, but the rest of the state is goin to jail or prison? i grow weed bro and these fools find out here they will have me

  • i have to say, he just gave the greatest advice to everyone in the world, only thing is, its evolved like a motha FZUEker and its now the god dang internet too. tell me im wrong? half of the people reading my post, are wow addicts, and motha fuahakn facebook thugs and fake dating websites, giving u poor misserable poeples fuzueekin life, oh and dont get me started on the damn drama's and the sitcoms, 2 and a half men, which cocaine maniac split his brain with the dope banged ass hooker prn starz

  • Television news sickens me - it has for years. To the intelligent and observant the TV news is obvious propaganda and an attempt at psychological conditioning.

    Unfortunately, humans still have a herd instinct. Only a small minority are capable of thinking for themselves. Most of the sheeple will follow each other right over the edge of a cliff.

    Our political system is a construct to divide people against each other. Both parties are pushing lies and deception. Deep down they are the same.

  • @KDanagger well put, couldn't agree more.

  • I was wondering why so many religious nuts were posting, then I hit the 3:00 mark...

    Church was the first illusion. STFU

  • Why the fuck does things like this always get linked to the NWO and illuminati and other nonsens?

  • @nolbie because illuminati runs the media & the world? telling us how to think. government are just puppets getting orders by the illuminati. you think by them running the world, they will expose them selfs? lol they made the system (bloodlines) & kept us in the shadows from the real knowledge (kept it to them selfs) thats why some don't know whats going on & not believing this sh*t. They created a nation of workers not thinkers. they're our enemies but they love us coz we gave them the power.

  • this is the TRUTH!

  • shit painted as truth.

    amen brother.

  • cool i dont watch tv anyway

  • I don't really watch television much anymore. I see films and watch things online. Mostly I use my television to watch DVDs and not much else.

  • YES

  • this is one of the best things ever made

  • What do you think the writer is trying to say that he cast the protagonist as voicing this to a TV audience, and that he could only say this via a TV audience, a medium that he is condemning.

    And yet its still right.

    Television is never truth. Arthur Conan Doyle "believe none of what you hear and 1/2 of what you see". Television is worse because you can believe none of what you see

  • I wish the people posting responses could spell..............

  • They tell it to your face....the problem is: we just don't listen. We hear them, but we don't listen.

  • turn off

    tune out

    drop dead

    watch?v=FmgKwJhodZw

  • the delusion of the illusion is that if you turn on the tube, you are still an illusion

    of the delusion ...  but if you turn off the tube , you will be disillusioned

  • the simple question is what can we do about any of it, it seems like there are those who have tried to stop the bullshit like this from going on but they just don't have enough power.

  • @NihilistMonk Thats exactly what they want you to think. In this movie that is the counter argument from Mr.Jensen who lays it all out and says thats how it is there are no nations or peoples or America or democracy just the people with the money the big corporations that control the world and there is nothing we can do. Its really a great speech by Ned Beatty and Beale the guy in this scene buys it and starts preaching that telling people they can't really make a difference. But its not true.

  • @Exodous23

    then what can we do? protest against the military and police force?

  • @NihilistMonk yeah if enough people protest they will have to listen. Thats how they stopped the deal in the movie and they could have had more victories until Jensen convinced Beale it was pointless. So yeah why not "try" protesting just "try" something cause if you do nothing thats exactly what you will achieve.

  • @Exodous23

    ya or if enough people protest it could break out into a riot and people will end up getting hurt, or killed. and if even more people start participating the president can declare martial law which i am pretty sure due to the bill junior signed basically gives the government dictator status. would love to protest might i add, but there is just no place for a large amount of anti (government for lack of a better term) people to organize.

  • @NihilistMonk Well I meant non violent resistence. It worked for Ghandi and MLK. But even if it is non violent and the "govt" tries to put a spin on it that people are in danger and declares martial law I think that would be a wake up call to everybody else that something is definitely wrong and more people will join the cause. Like if the govt says people can no longer have free speech because it is a danger to society I don't think people would stand for it. Oh and I can think of 1 place.

  • @Exodous23

    ya i know what you meant, its just that more people are afraid of this government or at least think its wonderful that we don't have to think or fend for ourselves. one place? please share, i can only think of the internet and they are certainly trying to fix that as well, even so it doesn't have as much impact as these huge marches do.

  • @NihilistMonk yeah the internet. I'm not saying it would be easy just that I refuse to believe it would be impossible for anyone to make a difference.

  • I would agree that the internet is in part, another form of mind control, this of course depends on what you look at or are you searching for knowledge or information. Tv is only set out to satisfy what people don't have in their soul to make it complete.No matter how much TV you watch you will never be happy or satisfied in life.

  • @Agui007 Well so far the internet has been so unrestricted and the free exchange of thoughts and ideas has been flowing freely. However, its starting to turn and the powers that be have been pushing for ways to restrict access like the whole net neutrality thing.

  • I've been without tv for 5 vyears now, and it is so amazing how uinstressed I am, and now I can think freely! I look for the real news on independent web sites, and OH BOY HOW DIFFERENT THE TRUTH REALLY IS...OPEN YOUR MIND, GET RID OF THE BRAINWASH PORTAL, THE HYPNOTUBE, AND LIVE A REAL LIFE! there are people who condition us like trained rats, from sit com to kids progs. fake news, so govts can do what they want believe!

  • @godwithme777 someday the internet will be,or allready is, the next gen brain tube =/

  • "Who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network!" Nice one." We'll tell you any shit you want to hear." And people still won't believe they are being lied to. Oh it's just entertainment....my ass. :o) Only Mother Fuckers being entertained are the dickheads putting this stupid show on that has been running for 60 years now. Throw away your television and hopefully these dickheads will die soon. They are up in their 80's now. Maybe someone will hold their breathing tube under water.

  • and youtube/internet is any better? hahahaha. Do you know how much money the west pay to make people in asia post fake articles and videos on the internet? a LOT!!... well, relatively a lot... but hey i bought a laptop with that money..

  • @xtian615 he who has understanding will know the truth, once we deliver ourselves from the matrix and behavior that has been programed into us. We all are victims of CIA MK ULTRA

  • Clearly Howard Beale's speech delves far deeper than just TV. The one line that sticks to my head in this scene is "Go to yourselves! because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth!"

    to often now, people allow things they read, hear, or see to speak for them

  • the flower of life on the background..

  • PAAHHAHA 'Tv is the anti christ' is a highest rated comment? C'mon people, get a brain. I suppose you still think newspapers are as well and that radios have little men inside them.

    Whatever, this guy amuses me.

  • @AllAboutMEHStudios Well, when you are too ignorant to find out who really owns the newspaper, radio programming, you are too ignorant to realize their motives. Ignorance is bliss eh.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, this is more than relevant 35 years later! What is the name of this man?

  • Preach!

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM your the definition of apathy... none of us said dont enjoy life its great. but for the masses to realize whats going on and to change it for the better is not in important? just accept it? i dunno one good honest person that would do that. just brush it off like that. guess thats why where we are. majority are like you.

  • Comment removed

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM prove to me god is not real. You are telling us what to believe in. Yea, lisghen to gambara29, relax man chillout, go to the mountains. Because love is the only key. Feel enlightened not fear.

  • u didnt understand me. i said that because im angry of the fact that were still doing nothing when william cooper, jf kennedy & others died for telling the truth. that shows us that theyr hiding something. not only that, theyr murderers. we still want to be ignorant, like we enjoy to live this way. why cant we not see things getting worse? because majority of ppl havnt got enough time to see whats wrong. all we have time for is to work like robots. thy think this is a way to live....

  • sheeple need to wake up to the fact that they were born into bondage thats why they cant see the truth... they're truth is seeing things as we are. & cause theyr parents were born into it, they dont no any better. we need to be together & join anarchy change the world into better living with no depression no wars no authority & start real education. change the system.. thats why i said what i said b4 because the majority of the people are happy living theyre lives & not caring about the world

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM what makes you think you are not a "sheeple" You do live in this world don't you ?

  • Comment removed

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM I'm not having children in a world like this one

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM They already think that. Gangster culture is proof.

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM Simply understanding its all bullshit is enough in itself.Keeping our own minds strong and resiliant to all the bullshit is half the battle.The more well informed, questioning, non-conforming minds the better chnace there is for things to turn around.

  • @MEMYSELFnFAM Hmm 8 months ago you said something completely stupid. I hope you changed your mind.

  • this is why i would love to live in a NATRUAL WORLD WHERE INDIANS ROAM FREELY JUST AS THE RIVERS AND ANIMALS.

  • Do not worry for now television is shit

  • this is boring.... i wonder what lady gaga is wearing....

  • Sums this up perfectly.

  • @Bobthe24 You'll have to check the 3 day, 40 hour red carpet event for the who gives a damned awards. Wanna watch Dancing with the Stars?

  • -10

  • Fuck TV.

  • Decades ahead of its time---ths is more true now than ever.

  • This is GREAT!, I have to watch this movie now.

  • Maybe this is why people persecute/harass me when I warn them about the end times and stuff. *Sigh* It's never enough.  People are so stupid.

  • It's funny. This movie was made some 33 years ago and every word of this monologue is TRUE to this day. Turn off your TV's and set them on fire. TV is the anti-christ.

  • trace back the control its older than 33 years ago :P just more people noticing b/c its getting alot worse.

  • @gambara29:I found this stuff here quite interesting because i have never WATCHED it before(LOL). Let me add some views:1)We get"manipulated"from the first mintues of our lives on-mostly first by our mothers,later MAYBE by our fathers,then by friends in the kindergarten,in school,by happy+sad experiences.IT IS just like that.TV allover has a very regrettable quality,there´s a lot of stuff on it i don´t really need,which is for the masses,still there are some valid moments here+there on TV...

  • @gambara29:Still: I am German+i asked my grandfather whom i experienced to a certain age in the 70s,why people had been so stupid to elect such a -not only politically- but also physically disgusting+even ugly persons like Hitler+the Nazis.And his very frank+surprising answer was:"If we would have had TV, Hitler+his criminal supporters would have NEVER been elected,some people in the country were so poor or not interested,that they even could not afford a visit to a cinema to inform themselves!"

  • @JohnnyRichard Replace TV with internet and you are now updated. Replace internet with smart phone. Replace smart phone with... well you get it.

  • @honorabili pretty soon we will all just have milti media chips in out skulls thanx to steve jobs, no need for a tv box or the interweb

  • The fallacy in this argument is in assuming there is a designed human purpose behind television to control us.

    Yes it is true that television has a major influence on our lives. However, the fact is we are being influenced everyday by our society on a macro and micro level. How we dress, how we act, how we think, even what we believe is largely determined by the group (society. We are all in a sense being brainwashed. Things that are considered harmful to the group are condemned and Vice Versa

  • thats what you are meant to believe but none of your fashion, how you act or what you believe comes from society at the root. it is sent down from above and almost everybody conforms to their will because they think it to be just a natural evolution of society when it is really almost entirely a manufactured way of indoctrination. you should look up predictive programming to see how it works.

  • If you apply evolution to sociology, it explains societies' (I am using this word for all of human social interaction) formation, function, and structure.

    I am not sure what you mean in your third sentence. It doesn't appear that something is influencing or indoctrinating humanity. It could be we are being mislead, and that this force has made it appear that societies developed for evolutionary reasons. However, it not more likely to be the former? Unless you have evidence to the contrary?...

  • name a science to try to explain something to me is trying to make logic out of the chaos when you can clearly see there is a problem in front of you. we are being lied to there is overwhelming evedience of this none of their stories even added up but for some reason the conspiracy everyone talks about is getting more and more clear everyday when the government says something. most physiologist will admit they see brain washing on a mass scale now. but they bite their tongues we all play passive

  • What are we being lied to about? And what physiologist are you referring too?

  • evil do you really deny all evidence threwout history about people trying to control people? is it hard to believe that certain groups of people have gotten so good at controling their own kind they have made it an art form on many different levels including quantum mechanics

  • "evil do you really deny all evidence threwout history about people trying to control people?"

    I never said that... Those higher on the social "ladder" have always tried to control the masses since the beginning of human society. My original comment was just meant to point out the fact that the perceived "Mind Control"

    of TV is merely enculturation.

    My second comment was to clarify my original comment about social evolution, and to refute Luke's claim.

  • "All people live relying on their knowledge and understanding, and so are bound to them. They call it "reality".

  • If tv is a form of control then isnt the computer and the internet the same thing as tv. People spend hours on the computer. The things they read on the internet they believe to be true. Youtube is basically internet tv. If you stoped watching tv but continue spending hours on the internet isnt basically the same thing.

  • The problem is people lack the critical thinking skills to objectively analyze the information to determine its validity or factuality.

  • True, however it's easy to control what goes though television, youtube is much harder. NBC won't have negative news of a company that's giving them money for instance. Now, Youtube is much harder to control, and really the whole internet is hard to control. You can't censor what may be the truth when someone else will upload the same as well.

  • Also, the internet has more uses than just information. Filing taxes, talking to friends, playing games, etc. as opposed to television is really only used for entertainment and sadly babysitting. Though anyone who believes everything they hear/read is a tool, I'll won't fight against that...

  • I watched this a few years ago, and thought about it and observed my friends, family, and myself. It makes you want to cry when you really see it happening.

  • bravo jdub181. ive tried to warn my family that all there views are made from an illusory reality created by T.V. if they want to form an original opinion they might try not watching t.v. for 2 weeks . Then listen to the top 5 most important current events (read by me) & give their opinion , then how it differs from news media. we have 3 days a week of no tv ,my family is much closer for it. we also have one nite of no electrical items, just candles reading , board games and BBQ.

  • I saw this clip in "The Horizon Project" and it blew me away.

    5 stars + favorite.

  • Preach on, Brother Beale, preach on!

  • this is all truth.

  • so true....

  • yeah we definately need anchors like this

  • Thanxz 4 sharing this one

  • If only our real TV anchors would share info like this
