The "You do, hire her" is obviously a killer line but what I really love about Sorkin is that he doesn't let the audience know everything outright. Even the little tidbit with the reporter cutting off the voicemail just before we hear the last piece of Will's message. We know what it says, we don't need to hear it. Love that.
@@vecterit was this: after tonight, I thought you should know that I never stopped loving you. It was a really powerful and emotionally devastating hitting scene like always makes me tear up
Well.... Except for the Maggie/Jim "romance" which had all the attraction of a dead skunk. Seriously, if they'd just not put that in, this show would have been significantly better. Sorkin does politics and dialog really well, but half the time his romance stuff absolute sucks, and really drags the shows down. Don/Sloan was MUCH better handled, but even the main Will/Mac one was pretty poor.
+Lothar Scholz - I wish they do. But, I haven't seen any signs in the last several years in the US that the ideas of Orwell have made any dent in our goals or ideology. And, the current state of the political climate in the US has shamed us throughout the world.
I love that the first time she asked this question, Will was the one being sarcastic and cynical. This time, she's the one being bitingly sarcastic - you can hear it in her voice. But Will's response is nothing but sincerity.
I never had watched the showed.. but I’ve seen the “what makes america the best country in the world” video over and over and over again. But after seeing this video it makes me want to watch the whole series!!!!
"You do" You give us hope that people can be informed of contemporary issues and develop an informed opinion to confront difficult situations. There are people out there who care about the state of their world and want better from the people ruining it.
Also, she was embarrassed beyond her years when Will went off on her in episode one and still she found a way through it. IOW - She was knocked down and got back up. It's the sign of great heroics in one so young.
Great scene! When Will insists she ask her idiot question again, she shows her courage and revisits the scene, even adopting the cynicism and scorn he visited on her at the lecture. And then Will acknowledges all that's passed between them by saying to her, Amen: I believe in you.
I love her character development her whole indoctrinaded worldview of "america best yeah" got shatered in the opening scene of the pilot episode and in the end she really want to be part of the movement that start to educate its audience again.
of course, these last four minutes are written as the perfect ending echo to the perfect first seven minute beginning scene of the series. A Sorkin perfection pairing, if you will... most definitely, absolute perfection.
I love how the whole season, and on the cover of the dvd, it shows him looking out at something that we cant see. Like he sees something we dont. And the last moment of the season it shows us what he is looking at, but to us it's a blurry image. We still dont see what he sees but we are getting closer.
Its 2022, and it’s rarely more than three or four months that has gone by since this first aired that I don’t come back to this clip. The music, the sound design, the message, it always gives me those good tingles (frisson? I think) every time. To shamelessly steal and paraphrase from Sorkin’s other major tv show, if you’ll allow, ‘God bless the people who brought us this show, God bless you the fans that keep it alive in your hearts and minds, and God bless Sorkin for making me to want to be a greater fool.’ Now, what’s next? 😉
Where would you prefer to live? No country is perfect but the USA is an attempt to be admired. They were founded on spirit of individual rights, and they live up them this day, sometimes they fall short but they always aspire to be better and learn from their mistake. They’re the most powerful country on earth but they don’t conquer it. They are the most diverse countries on earth yet they are one of the most patriotic. Human race is a story of progression, progression of the species and America has done much toward that goal. Disclaimer: I’m not American, my country abolished slavery first and did it by democratic vote not a bloody civil war. Then we tried to crush the slave trade of all other countries. We used our great power in the 1800s to try and (for the first time) remove slavery from human culture. And to a large degree it worked. So I love my country and am proud of it greatly 🇬🇧 But that doesn’t mean I can’t recodnise the wonder and nobility of such a young nation. God bless America 🇺🇸 Britain’s greatest (accidental) invention. Apart from leading and often forcing the world to abolish slavery.
@@jimmy2k4o UK was the root cause of the slave trade, British were the biggest beneficiaries of the slave trade. A bit hypocritical to claim credit in partially solving a problem they created. The colonial history is nothing to be proud of either. I concede though, that unlike the actions of democratic nations, most of these happened when a monarch was in absolute power and as such, the people cannot be blamed, and neither do I place the blame on British people.
Also the intimidation of a powerful person who humiliated her nationally confronting her with a repeat of the most embarrasing moment of her life at an interview, but also the courage to stand her ground
the sad truth is he was right on his rant about america.... but america is too arrogant to notice the emperor is naked... let alone how to read Hans Christian Anderson....
@wings of a butterfly No. The emperor being Drumph. America used to be the most hated country in the middle east. Drumph is working hard and successfully at changing that to the world.
I think he was right about the first half of his rant... the part after 'sure used to be' not so much unfortunately... Lofty ideals which is great, rarely if ever lived up to sadly.
@@douglasthomashayden2566 And that's laudible, definitely better to have no question. I suppose I'd argue by what metrics he feels America used to be so great...
Another Sorkin classic!!! He has a gift; a way of putting things that I wish I had. Love live the "greater fools" in all of us. This world would be a better place if there were more of them.
You know where Sorkin thrives? The killer lines at the end, sure, but it’s also the throwaway lines, too. As he’s sprinting across the floor and someone shouts, “Good show tonight,” and he mutters a reply, “ I don’t care.” That kills me.
It’s the “okay” that gets me every time. She isn’t even fazed by it. Edit: Also, Jennifer's confident "A year early" at 0:24 is perfect. She's already exuding confidence in the face of Will, which works to her favour later. It's her second ever line in this episode and her arc already sees progression.
"You ruined my life." Well, I wouldn't say ruined. He does still have a multi-million dollar salary and a large condo with an excellent view of the midtown skyline (I think it's midtown. Don't know Manhattan that well). And even to the extent that his life was made less terrific it was his answer that did so rather than her question. Very nicely played by Daniels and Riley Voelkel. She shows that the fresh college graduate is taken aback at being challenged (again) by the big TV star but she doesn't overstate it and also shows her character's strength in her center.
This show should be shown every semester in high school classrooms. Just to show what fairness and dignity look like. Im afraid they don't teach that anymore. We need to fix it, it's our responsibility.
Absolutely Perfect. Has there ever been a more perfect last 4 minutes of a television series season to perfectly meet the perfection of a first 4 1/2 minutes of television... perhaps the best the first minutes in television series history? - IMHO. only Sorkin...
I’ve been working with refugees and immigrants from Ukraine who have been in this country either a couple of years or in some cases, not even a couple of months. They want to go to work as soon as they legally can, they want to learn English, and we’re teaching them as fast as we can. They’re taking citizenship classes and learning everything they can about America. They are kind, beautiful people who left their families, their homes, and come here for a better life, and it’s just inspiring A F !!! If they were to ever to ask what makes America great? I would immediately pull out a mirror and say “you do!” I truly hope when that day comes that they understand exactly what it means. 🇺🇦♥️🇺🇸
Aaron Sorkin is the Shakespeare of our time. And this show (The Newsroom) will help to shift and educate, just a little bit, a lot of complacent people.
The reason Aaron Sorkin shows are loved so much is because his scripts say what all of us would say if we were smarter and had a day or so to think of something to say. Not unlike us commenters ......except without the smarter thing.. #seewhatididthere ?
@@djpults No you missed the line. It's "So I'd learn how to duck" - he's telling Will that HE (Will) should learn how to duck, since he (Terry Crew's character) won't have to take a bullet.

But he says the truth in the opening and you can see how her worldview got shatered after his speech and in the end brings her to newsnight.
She should have said "Armenia."
@@Speedy2619 he says the truth here as well. And his speech at the beginning of the series is meaningless without this part.
There's nothing about what she says that is sarcastic.

The composer is Alex Wurman, and it's an original piece of music that can be located on his website.
I've watched all 3 seasons at least 3 times since it originally aired and it is better each time.

the notes are the same ones as the theme song, it's probably a composition for the show. i was looking for that song for a while, too.

A show full of epic scenes, and painfully fringe scenes.
