Howard Beale : Turn off your television sets

1976. Howard Beale played by Peter Finch.

"We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds...We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the Tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the Tube tells you. You dress like the Tube; You eat like the Tube; You raise your children like the Tube; You even think like the Tube. This is mass madness! You maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I'm speaking to you now. Turn them off!"

I wouldn't call this satire; I would call this reality.

Now the tube is even more powerful, as people search for videos, websites, friends, and blogs that help them re-affirm their own positions.

The music really sucks –– one would be better off watching the original Network movie by Sydney Lumet, rather than this boring and preposterous “docu-menteur”.
