Jimb0 the The real villains are the ones getting money from BLM donations. It’s not going to inner cities. It’s going into pockets of billionaires who pay the BLM and China to corrupt USA. Proven fact BLM is a run Marxist group
Nicholas Lewis : The fact that ppl find different meanings important to them 👍🏻 is one point. We watched 1 scene. And felt something relatable/applicable to now. Do u want to link the whole film?
@@TeamFreedom1 I haven't seen the film, but from what I've heard, there is a deliberate message (by which I mean, a message the author intended for you to get) in it: The network lives on people's fears, anger, and on sensationalism. The Capitalist system produces an environment that clashes with our sense of justice and fairness, heightening our anxiety. The Network, a Capitalist institution and an entertainment service, knows that to make money, it must appeal to our fears, and so, it stokes these revolutionary sentiments, all while bending them towards the opposing end, the end of authoritarian urge to seize power and control. And so they put a man who is mad, truly mad, on the air, making his paranoia into a contagion and victimizing him and his audience, even as the people who work for the Network know he is unhinged and feel sorry for him... they can't help but to victimize him anyways, just as the message of the network can't help but to coopt revolution in service of reaction. Again, haven't seen the film, so I might be a little off.
I did this monologue today in a monologue competition and won first place....these are awesome powerful words of expression. much love to the producers and writers and of course the great Peter Finch
+Rae Lee guys, look at the right time scale. We used to be caveman, the strong one from the group killed the others if he wanted to. Civilization later provided individual protection but slave-like existence towards feudal lords and kings. Mathematics, medicine and science altogether developed, taking people out of deep ignorance and giving us control over our lives like never before... democracies appeared, slavery was abolished, weapons of mass destruction became regulated. We forget that history does involve massive change, but it takes time. Go ahead, and start creating the change you need, it will be a part of history one day. it will change the world.
Oh yeah. Truer words were never spoken. I'm gonna be the one to get mad- The world we live in today is a joke. A civilization not at its adult level of speciation but a teenaged one and frankly that's exactly what we're acting like. A world full of petulant over grown infants full of hatred and malice and massive egos, living examples of the Dunning Kruger effect in action and a corrupted, paranoid, power hungry series of world governments who spy on their citizens violate national constitutions out of ridiculous fear of an abysmal attempt to destroy their government (or which it started on purpose, I dunno, I haven't had time to study the evidence on the matter either way there is no threat anymore, I mean seriously what are technologically disadvantages cultures going to hope to achieve attacking cultures advanced infinitely with satellite weaponary and I apologize if this sounds racist, I'm not against muslims but the terrorists in your culture are shaming themselves and your entire culture, everyone should just calm down and listen to fucking reason is what I think as should everyone else) and because of this long dead war the government monitors everything we do and do whatever they please. And those of us who are outside this circle jerk of stupid barbarism aresmart enough to see the problems in the world, but low and behold no one will listen to us. They don't give a shit. They'll do as they please as the corrupted governments of the world blatantly lie to their people as the people stand by unable to take action by pooling resources and working on logical ways of avoiding conflict and trying to work on some fucking solutions, because as a species frankly we're above this petty bullshit. Frankly the whole species needs to grow up. There's a future out there that awaits us in the stars and the governments of the world and zealots are willing to piss it all away on the world's largest pissing match and dick measuring competition! The people need to get mad and we need to get off our arses and do something logical and try to fix this mess. And we should ALL get mad. Cause this bullshit has to stop. After everything we've achieved we're so fucking close to reaching colonization of the solar system and the whole world is going up in a fucking shitstorm off stupid! It pisses me right off! So let's fucking do something about it already!!
Marty Cash No lol. THIS IS SATIRE!!! Ffs people, don't get MAD.. get INFORMED. The people who control you want you to get angry, they want to do be irrational, they want another reason to justify controlling you, they want you to be selfish and self absorbed.. jeez. Think for yourself ffs.
Demogorgon47 This right here. This is what people need to realise. And yet when you try to raise this with socially conditioned/blissfully ignorant people you're seen as a hopeless idealist, or ridiculed for worrying about things that people don't normally give a second thought. We are diabolically selfish - consumed by greed and power, enslaved by money. Why is it that we have the technology, the manpower and the resources to provide everyone in the world with clean water, food and shelter and yet we just leave them to die in agony? Sorry Africa, we know it's the 21st century and all but if we help save all of your poorest and most vulnerable people we might run out of this paper stuff that we attribute value to for some reason even though we could always just create some more out of thin air like we usually do anyway. The recent atrocities committed by our governments in Iraq and Afghanistan are unforgivable. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead and yet our politicians and our media outlets portray it all as some glorious crusade for justice. Meanwhile in Britain we have the rise of right-wing fascist hate groups like Britain First, the British National Party (BNP) and the English Defence League (EDL) as well as more moderate right wing xenophobes/all out racists like the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Many of our newspapers and TV channels choose to demonise immigrants. They "steal our jobs", they "come over here looking for handouts from the state", they "cost us money", they are "taking away our heritage/culture", creating a senseless "us vs. them" mentality. Similarly people who have no choice but to ask for financial support from the government (a meagre handout that is well below the amount actually needed to survive and cover the costs of actively looking for work) are portrayed as lazy, feckless, criminal scum. They are constantly shamed and intimidated throughout the back to work process and often end up working thankless, dead-end jobs simply just to keep on receiving their benefits (i.e. they are not paid a wage on top of their right to financial support, they are literally government slaves). Meanwhile the financial elite that drove us into an economic recession and the politicians who supported and continue to support their absurd and completely self-defeating economic model get away scot-free. Not a single one led away in cuffs after the recession. And despite history repeatedly showing that the best way to lead a country out of recession is to inject huge amounts of money into infrastructure, thus creating jobs and stimulating public spending and the economy as a whole, we are being fed this "austerity" bullshit, which is literally stealing from the poor to give to the rich. And that's just Britain! The sad thing is if we all came together as a species and pooled our resources we could be living in some sort of utopia. Again, we have the technology, the manpower, the resources. All that stands in the way is our childish differences and our clinging on to outdated systems and customs. It's nice to see at least one other person out there who feels this way though.
Little Leigh it's really not satire. This character was honest in his rant and the writers of the film didn't present it as satire either. His ideas were taken and used to market new programming in the film and he was turned into a sideshow. This rant is actually very to the point and not presented as a joke.
Little Leigh Seen the whole movie. This opening part still stands, the satire kicks in when he is reduced to a marketing gimmick and then shot for low ratings.
I made something recently about societies addiction to staring at screens, if anyone wants to see it then just type in to the search bar above the following title......'Addicted to a screen'. A slideshow
The screenplay for "Network' was written by Paddy Chayefsky, a visionary who was way ahead of his time. This little speech was one of Chayefsky's best, and applies today more than ever. Thanks for the post, by the way!
+JOHN OWENS I disagree, things have changed. A lot of progress has been made, people living better, outlook on life: great, most things affordable. However somewhere along the line, it went back to 1976 standards. I dont know which is worse, having nothing change, or going back to once it once was.
A-A Ali I may actually go stick my head out the window and scream that “I am as fat as hell and I’m not gonna eat this anymore” and throw out a burrito or something
It is amazing how so many people think that this is so intelligent and relevant for a film made almost four decades ago, as if all the wisdom and knowledge suddenly leaps out of nowhere into the present. There are great ideas and thoughts everywhere in every generation. This thing is timeless. Dont underestimate the value of anything just because it is old.
Yes but today too many people surely the youngsters and millenials thinks everything today is "new" which in fact isn't . I don't know why in 2000 kinda everything needed to be hated ( i.e. CD's , VHS, DVD's , High end Hi-Fi materials , etc... ) is beyond me . All they made today is more junk garbage than what was made yesterday . Remember when a fridge could still run perfectly well for +/- 40 years today it's only 5 and when lucky 10/15 years , Cars is the same it was said a car for your life today it's barely 10 years or less depending how much you drive and if you care about your car of course . Same goes for that so called Global Warming shit most of it are Lies with a marketing message behind it . Problem is that the parents are too lazy to talk about their young times to their kids and feeds them with stupid Smartphones and Consoles nice uh?! People from today are way more anti-social and are living in a fake luxuous life with garbage bling bling stuff is a fact .
I love Critical Role too, and the second most thing beyond Liam performing it, was that this would bring young generations to watch that movie.. Which is now more important than ever!
Black sun empire's one of the best DnB mixes starts with this guy's speech. And definitely one of the best starts for a mad, head banging drum and bass mix ever!
+Nuclear Master I would have to disagree. This period is just as bad if not worse it is just that the government has gotten better at concealing the suffering and the rot. Most official economic numbers are rigged.
You know what is so sad is that this movie is truly the Genesis eye waking up movie. It send a message back then that a lot of people are just now beginning to understand called, Houston we have a problem. These things that have been spoken of in this movie over 30 years later close to 40 I should say, have raised on until now we have pretty much cross the threshold to the point of no return. Washington DC is a very small district inside of the state of Maryland. They can't take on 320 million Americans. But it starts with us getting mad and just like the movie and say, "I'M A HUMAN BEING GOT DAMMIT MY LIFE HAS VAULE". The rest will be up to us to band together and make history.
I saw Network at the theatre 40 years ago and for some reason I always remembered the Mad as Hell Scene. Little did I know that The character, "Howard Beal" was sending us a message. 40 years ago no one in their wildest imagination would believe that The USA could be destroyed by globalists.
Wrong. Globalism is an ideal. It's a good thing. That isn't remotely what this film's message is about, but you contextualized it in a bullshit way to suit your own nonsense beliefs.
I found this speech in a podcast house music mix by DJ Daniel James from the UK. The sound is amazing I listen to his mix at least once a week it doesn't seem to get old especially during these times.
I think whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie either was telling us something that was already there or predicted the inevitable. I love this scene!
The more I watch this clip, the more I am fired up for Bernie Sanders. I watched it twice already today and it inspired me to make another donation to his campaign. #Bernie2016
SagaciousIdiot I like how you resort to insulting me instead of actually trying to bring us points to counter mine. Again I will say, you act as if Bernie or any other candidate will actually change anything.
+.png If you were an avid voter, then you would know what a politician is capable of doing. Your original comment was insulting to people that take voting seriously. Your comment proved that you are not an avid voter so there is no need to waste my time.
Was as sharp as a razor when released and still has the power to provoke and entertain like all great satire. Also see: Little Murders, Bob Roberts, Nashville, The Player, Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, and The Loved One.
+David Mayhew 1976 was a kind of pinnacle for New Hollywood - this was nominated for Best Picture along with Taxi Driver and All the President's Men. It was a very strong year.
Wow. So I discovered this movie through one of my college classes where we would watch movies and then write essays or reports based on a different aspect or topic of film-making, and for Network, our topic was on the quality of their acting. So it was fun to revisit this scene after awhile. But what's funny is that this feels like the kind of news I'd be looking for in this current day. Because not only does it speak the truth, but it encourages you to go scream your troubles out to the world 😂
Wow, reading the comments I'm very glad to see that the point of this movie has gone over almost everyone's heads! Everyone watches this scene and goes "Yeah, we need to get mad! Everything's fucked up! We gotta get mad!" but if they actually watched the movie, they'd realize that the character Fitch plays is the problem itself, as this is a satire on sensationalist media. Get it now? He's evoking strong emotions in his viewers, getting them to blindly follow his cause. It's called /sensationalist media/. Now, I'm not one of those "wake up, sheeple!!!" types, because I think it's blindly cynical to think that everyone but you and a few hundred others is blind to the truth or some shit, the world doesn't work that way. But, well... Maybe you should just watch the whole movie. It's a masterpiece. You might actually get the message.
And you are attempting to help progress soceity by what exactly? By coming on youtube to condescend? "this is a satire on sensationalist media" right because in the late 60's/early 70's people like bill o'riley/peirs morgan were running amuck. This isn't to say propaganda didn't exist, but to make a statement as such yours is incredibly ignorant. The fact that this movie was green-lit goes to show how innovation in hollywood still existed at the time. Maybe you should read a little history, i'ts the truth. You might actually enlighten yourself.
'the point of this move' doesn't matter, it's this scene that most people see before having even seen the movie, how can you then even expect for people to get the point of the movie? The scene by itself shows a different point of view for most people. And imo this isn't bad, it's all the way how you look at things. Nobody is wrong here and nobody is right, the important thing is the message it sends out everything else doesn't matter
Well...yes and no. Yes, he is evoking strong emotions -- but he actually believes in what he is saying (the character of Howard Beale does) at this point in the film. The irony and the sad point of the movie is that this searingly unique outburst suddenly becomes enveloped by the greed of the Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall characters who merely see dollar signs. Howard Beale is given his own show and slowly but surely he becomes only part of the idiocy of television, and then forced to ABANDONED his original message by the higher ups, which results in lower ratings, and finally he is killed. But the original message, "I'm as mad as hell" is all Beale and not pure sensationalism. It is the TV industry that takes this wonderful visceral message and turns it into an opportunity to make TV even larger...and it envelopes and destroys Beale. THAT is the message of this film.
I hate how relevant this scene is forty years later
It really is tragic
More relevant. Much more. Much worse.
My thought exactly.
you are not kidding.
exactly why i came here
This film is nearly 50 yrs old and this scene still applies to our society.
More so today
programming
The screenwriter, Paddy Chayefsky, was a prophet.
Americans are too soft and too civilized to fight for their freedom so we are finished.
Well it's human nature, argue all you want but every basic emotion is portrayed here perfectly, it's a film that probably won't be replicated soon
this is the year 2020, and every word rings true
Absolutely
i'M MAD AS HECK!!! AND I A M SERIOUSLY thinking about not taking it....anymore

+RobbenUlaynov Maybe he just went out too far to seeking the truth... & it's sounds more sad than crazy to me.
This is July 2019: I'm as MAD AS HELL and I'm NOT GONNA TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!
One of the most memorable scenes in cinema history !
THE REALEST SHIT IVE EVER HEARD!!!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black sun empire's one of the best DnB mixes starts with this guy's speech.
And definitely one of the best starts for a mad, head banging drum and bass mix ever!
This made me cry because we were told this in 1976 and we just turned around and went back to sleep. Shame on us.
This was during the 70s which was a bad time economically. The 80s/90s rebuilt America. This is a completely different time.
+Nuclear Master I would have to disagree. This period is just as bad if not worse it is just that the government has gotten better at concealing the suffering and the rot. Most official economic numbers are rigged.
Amazingly enough, still very true in 2021!!!! Some things are ageless!
Who do you think is going to say this on TV in today’s world
they should play this monologue through the airwaves every single goddam night!!!!!
But then it would lose its effect.
You want a better world?
You gotta first GIVE A DAMN.
You know what is so sad is that this movie is truly the Genesis eye waking up movie. It send a message back then that a lot of people are just now beginning to understand called, Houston we have a problem. These things that have been spoken of in this movie over 30 years later close to 40 I should say, have raised on until now we have pretty much cross the threshold to the point of no return. Washington DC is a very small district inside of the state of Maryland. They can't take on 320 million Americans. But it starts with us getting mad and just like the movie and say, "I'M A HUMAN BEING GOT DAMMIT MY LIFE HAS VAULE". The rest will be up to us to band together and make history.
true,truer now!
Year is 2023 almost 2024, still relevant and things are desperate
"I'M A HUMAN BEING GOD DAMN IT, MY LIFE HAS VALUE!!"
What a great and classic movie. This scene is in my head all the damn time.
Most Powerful Speech I’ve ever heard, I’m in tears just listening to this because I know it’s true and most people don’t believe it
Today was the first time I watched this monologue. The relevancy of it terrifies me.
I watch this everyday
How prophetic is this? Wow, just brilliant, makes me want to cry.
Priceless piece or work!!
I saw Network at the theatre 40 years ago and for some reason I always remembered the Mad as Hell Scene.
Little did I know that The character, "Howard Beal" was sending us a message.
40 years ago no one in their wildest imagination would believe that The USA could be destroyed by globalists.
Not just the USA mate, the whole world I would say

Destroyed by Consumercapitofascists and Neoliberalidealists.
Stick those syllables in your crackpipe and smoke them, Rummy.
Wrong. Globalism is an ideal. It's a good thing. That isn't remotely what this film's message is about, but you contextualized it in a bullshit way to suit your own nonsense beliefs.
Howard Beale
I found this speech in a podcast house music mix by DJ Daniel James from the UK. The sound is amazing I listen to his mix at least once a week it doesn't seem to get old especially during these times.
Paddy Chayevsky was an unparalleled genius. Never a movie w/ better writing. Never.
Maybe Chinatown by Robert Towne
I think whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie either was telling us something that was already there or predicted the inevitable. I love this scene!
It's not that hard to do when you can easily tell when society is brainwashing folks.
Its both sad and scarey that this is exactly the state america is in right now.
kbforme the whole world
+kbforme what's sadder is that you're doing absolutely nothing to change it
+Gabe Palcic how the fuck do you know what i do you little shit weasel? dumb fucking child.
+kbforme Bernie Sanders IS trying to do something about it.
+chaosrex1487 the only thing he's doing is fooling people like you. Go live in Cuba if you want to see what Bernie Sanders presidency looks like.
This movie was so far ahead of its time it's practically prophetic
The more I watch this clip, the more I am fired up for Bernie Sanders. I watched it twice already today and it inspired me to make another donation to his campaign.
#Bernie2016
you act like he can actually change anything
+SagaciousIdiot Bernie sanders can't even figure out buying pants that fit.
+.png, People such as you are not avid voters, so it is easy to ignore you. All you do is breathe and take up space.
SagaciousIdiot
I like how you resort to insulting me instead of actually trying to bring us points to counter mine. Again I will say, you act as if Bernie or any other candidate will actually change anything.
+.png
If you were an avid voter, then you would know what a politician is capable of doing. Your original comment was insulting to people that take voting seriously. Your comment proved that you are not an avid voter so there is no need to waste my time.
This is the year 2024 and every word rings true
I get goosebumps every time I hear the line, “I’m a human-being goddamnit! My life has value!”
How beautifully and sadly prophetic.
We should set a time and date worldwide and do this all yelling “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore “
I saw this in 1976. It still has relevance in 2024.
Judging from the comments and when this movie was made it seems like that never ending cycle
Was as sharp as a razor when released and still has the power to provoke and entertain like all great satire. Also see: Little Murders, Bob Roberts, Nashville, The Player, Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, and The Loved One.
+David Mayhew 1976 was a kind of pinnacle for New Hollywood - this was nominated for Best Picture along with Taxi Driver and All the President's Men. It was a very strong year.
For some reason, instead of making me think, I start laughing uncontrollably when watching this scene.
thank you liam obrian
This speech holds true even more so today in 2019 as in the 70's. I AM A HUMAN BEING GOD DAMMIT MY LIFE HAS VALUE.
I remember seeing this movie back in 76.And you what I'm still mad as hell !!!
Critical Role C2E72 crew where you at?
This same speech is a square peg for modern times nearly 50 years ago.
Crazy how 2020 is LITERALLY THIS
Especially now
This clip needs to be watched by all of humanity right now
I saw this for the first time a couple of days ago and I was amazed how much this material is still relevant today
Man this election has got me thinking about this scene a lot.
Fuck. Just fuck.
The more things change... the more they stay the same.
This is literally all of 2020s
I think of this scene practically every day.
Wow. So I discovered this movie through one of my college classes where we would watch movies and then write essays or reports based on a different aspect or topic of film-making, and for Network, our topic was on the quality of their acting.
So it was fun to revisit this scene after awhile. But what's funny is that this feels like the kind of news I'd be looking for in this current day. Because not only does it speak the truth, but it encourages you to go scream your troubles out to the world 😂
The George Floyd riots and covid brought me here. Still to this day is so revelate.
Nicole Salinas except those riots are being used to perpetrate crimes against the very people they purport to help. They are being used.
@@TheGreatHorseradish
Yes, you're delusional if you think different.
@@TheGreatHorseradish no, I’m delusional if I think different?
Now this is how you give a damn SPEECH BEECH!
such a great scene :)
2019 and relevant now more than ever!
Best rant ever, use it to drive home success, just remember to smile once in a while!
This just makes me so sad.
Same. Things isn’t changed
All that COVID.... I'm not going to take it anymore!!!
Masterpiece!!
2022, and this is portent of what our time is today, practically word for word. Scary how history repeats itself.
This movie was just brilliant! The 1970s was the zeitgeist of American cinema
Just one of the best movies ever , if you give a shit about anything today .
It's my money, and i need it now!
Wow, reading the comments I'm very glad to see that the point of this movie has gone over almost everyone's heads! Everyone watches this scene and goes "Yeah, we need to get mad! Everything's fucked up! We gotta get mad!" but if they actually watched the movie, they'd realize that the character Fitch plays is the problem itself, as this is a satire on sensationalist media.
Get it now? He's evoking strong emotions in his viewers, getting them to blindly follow his cause. It's called /sensationalist media/. Now, I'm not one of those "wake up, sheeple!!!" types, because I think it's blindly cynical to think that everyone but you and a few hundred others is blind to the truth or some shit, the world doesn't work that way. But, well...
Maybe you should just watch the whole movie. It's a masterpiece. You might actually get the message.
And you are attempting to help progress soceity by what exactly? By coming on youtube to condescend? "this is a satire on sensationalist media" right because in the late 60's/early 70's people like bill o'riley/peirs morgan were running amuck. This isn't to say propaganda didn't exist, but to make a statement as such yours is incredibly ignorant. The fact that this movie was green-lit goes to show how innovation in hollywood still existed at the time. Maybe you should read a little history, i'ts the truth. You might actually enlighten yourself.
FormerlyKnownAsShun well are you a slave to the tv? do you watch it everyday? tell me who is the slave now?
'the point of this move' doesn't matter, it's this scene that most people see before having even seen the movie, how can you then even expect for people to get the point of the movie? The scene by itself shows a different point of view for most people. And imo this isn't bad, it's all the way how you look at things. Nobody is wrong here and nobody is right, the important thing is the message it sends out everything else doesn't matter
Well...yes and no. Yes, he is evoking strong emotions -- but he actually believes in what he is saying (the character of Howard Beale does) at this point in the film. The irony and the sad point of the movie is that this searingly unique outburst suddenly becomes enveloped by the greed of the Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall characters who merely see dollar signs. Howard Beale is given his own show and slowly but surely he becomes only part of the idiocy of television, and then forced to ABANDONED his original message by the higher ups, which results in lower ratings, and finally he is killed. But the original message, "I'm as mad as hell" is all Beale and not pure sensationalism. It is the TV industry that takes this wonderful visceral message and turns it into an opportunity to make TV even larger...and it envelopes and destroys Beale. THAT is the message of this film.
Very true and nicely said
The superb Peter Finch and watching the film is worth it for this scene alone.
Current mood for this damn quarantine.
