It has it all in there; Marxism, globalism, media being used to vomit whoever owns them. This is still true. This monologue will forever be important, because if the people know these sick fucks are actually real they would wake up and be independent
The lighting design for this scene always impresses me. They're balanced on a knife's edge between dusk and silhouette but not pushing too far, without the brittle look you tend to see with David Fincher or Michael Mann. It makes a simple setting look so rich
It’s cause it has the influence of DP’s like Gordon Willis. This is just a few years after Godfather and Godfather II. Especially, when you compare it to Owen Roizman’s earlier work, Play It Again, Sam; The Stepford Wives; Three Days of The Condor. You can see the dramatic change in his lighting style beginning with a short (which was more of a test for lighting in the style of Willis), then Network and Straight Time, but goes back to his old style.
*STILL the most accurate description of "the way the world is run."* greed, money-masters, manipulators, ... and "the survival of the most ruthless and shrewdest." in other words: sociopathic personalities.
*The way he delivers the opening of the speech before the explanation is a way of mocking Beale's persona when he gave the mad as hell type speeches. This is why he says "am i getting through to you?"*
Ned Beatty at his peak...the late Orson Welles at 25 in "Citizen Kane" could not top this. Another is "Mosquito Coast", 1980, with Harrison Ford and his rants about who runs the planet. Sterling Hayden as BGen. Jack D. Ripper in "Dr. Strangelove" and his take on flouridation and our bodily fluids being stolen by the Russkies.
Depends... "Big" businessmen don't talk like that anymore. Most have understood, that capitalism is already dead and are terrified of the day the rest of humanity finds out.
Paddy Chayefsky's masterpiece. This monologue was expertly delivered by Ned Beatty. In a movie of memorable scenes, this one is as good as it gets. Network was easily the best movie of the 1970s and one of the top movies of the 20th century. Nothing in the 21st century has touched this one yet.
In a movie full of brilliantly written and delivered lines, my favourite is the subtlety at 3:42, "One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common [prophet/profit]." It's sheer poetry.
That progression from anger, to exposition, to supplication... freaking hell, every intonation perfect, gives me goose bumps every time I re-watch this scene. Ned Beatty is a God among actors. Top one monologue in movies for me.
True speech. People must realise that it matters little if hillary or trump gets voted in, big business rules the world so not much is going to change,
this is a move id recommend to those no quite awake as of yet. you see even as far as back then there was those that tried to shack the apple tree to see what fell out
The crazy thing Jensen is talking about a monopoly of every good, product and currency on this planet, a monopoly would be a kind of socialist/communist utopia- THAT is his vision and dream for the future. ---- And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. ---- I also love his remarks about the Russians optimizing their trades because during the Cold War their main exports were oil and gas to the West. When that was squeezed by the Saudis in the 1980s, when they flooded the world market with a glut of crude oil, the Soviet Union collapsed. That and the disastrous Afghanistan war and Chernobyl. What a movie.
@@stupidcommentmaker In Soviet Russia it was either obey the state or die (or be imprisoned or exiled to Siberia). Capitalism hasn't even come close to the brutality of the Soviet or Maoist systems- which were horrendously inefficient and relied on state-enforced prices, and controls, which had little to no bearing on economic reality. It's why famine happened in the major Communist states during the first few decades of their existence, the state wanted production quotas met and either took crops by force condemning people to starvation, or accepted made-up figures and took crops assuming their was a surplus when there really wasn't. At its core capitalism is about the search for value, that values of things (like housing or education or healthcare) are absurdly high is not indicative of capitalism's failure, on the contrary for capitalism has highlighted economic issues, instead it is indicative of personal greed, bankrupt social values and ineffective government policies- or worse government policies which often do the very opposite and reinforce absurdities of price and growing monopolistic/oligarchic control.
@@skatemetrix The point is that Modern monopoly capitalism participates in the exact same level of brutality as the Soviet system in many countries in the 3rd world, it's only a matter of scale. Apple employees working in a sweatshop in China don't have any say in the production process, it's follow orders or be killed/impoverished just like in the Soviet system. Capitalism's one saving grace is that we have developed systems via regulations and labor unions which have kept in check it worse excesses, without which it would turn inward and consume itself. As the rate of profit continues to fall for large firms, it no longer becomes advantageous to keep these systems in check and now they seek to remove them and render us helpless, because they only follow the rules so long as they have a gun to their head. indeed, the whole point of the Network is that this enormous corporate capitalist system is like a religion that requires almost religious levels of faith in it to function properly.
@@stupidcommentmaker The exploitation of 3rd world and developing countries goes far beyond capitalism. It is a matter of colonialism, power dynamics, religion, nationalism and crony international politics. The situation of today has gone beyond left vs right, capitalist vs socialist, fascist vs communist, etc. That way of thinking has been at least half a century obsolete. Also newsflash- the system is not capitalist but an oligarchy, one become increasingly centralized and one starting to show disturbing parallels to the planned economies of Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. One could argue that the inevitable failure of democracy leads to the emergence of oligarchy and the corruption of capitalism. We will not find answers through democracy, or socialism, or communism or even capitalism. We know that capitalism is the most effective system for giving price information, even when it's being manipulated because we can identity the source of the manipulation (usually central banks or governments). But there is yet to be the ideology or political system that can address the evils of human nature or the disadvantages caused by historical disparities. We are evolving and improving, that much is certain, but the good and evil in human nature will always be there and it requires something on the individual level, the moral level, the spiritual level and the religious level. We must also understand that many nations and peoples live in different worlds. For instance in China, being exploited is considered normal, and following the orders from some powerful higher authority (be that a bureaucrat, an emperor, a warlord, the Chinese Communist Party, or the factory owner) has been ingrained into the Chinese. At no point have the Chinese ever tasted of democracy or representation or even voting. There have been revolts true, but this was largely the desire to get rid of one bad master and to try and bring in a nicer, fairer master. Or consider Africa and how 90% of its peoples have had a mere two centuries of contact with the West, its ideas and indeed the modern world. Before the 19th century they had no civilization, or recorded historical identity, as we would understand of it- just a lived-in identity, stories, myths, cultural traditions and an oral tapestry. Thus of course there would be a horrendous clash of cultures (African versus European) and wars and conflicts caused by technologically induced mobility (wars between the varying African races and tribes), and thus horrendous exploitation. Many parts of the world are only now starting to catch up- bare in mind two centuries ago most Europeans were illiterate and much of Eastern Europe was still a Feudal society. These issues of social disadvantage and disparity are much deeper than capitalism vs communism. And if you paid close attention you'll notice that Communism nearly always flourished in culturally/economically/technologically backward nations: the still feudal Russia of the early 20th century, the decaying China of the mid 20th century, the new African states struggling to find their national identity, etc. And just because elites are ahead of the curve is no guarantee that they control the rest of us or implement radical change.
You think there was ever another truth in this range of probability? People are slaves to a false ideology which gives them the one thing the earth cannot provide. A sense of an identity of (self) of being a part of something separate, of having value. But there is no value there is only matter and changing states of matter. No matter how attached you are to your current state it will be still be dissolved and change into new things better to accept your short peak of energy in this frame of probability than to live resenting your own existence.
I can think of no more dehumanizing world than what Arthur Jensen has just described. It is a world without soul, without thought, without joy. A life without discovery or growth. A world devoid of meaning. A world bereft of spirit.
This is why Trump won - people final woke up to this truth and he campaigned on making deals ... running things as a business ... maybe he's not a great deal broker, but he spoke to the reality folks were waking up to, and that put him over the edge I hope a greater mind can speak that truth in the future
trump is a fucking businessman he's part of the oligarchy the only thing he hasn't done that every other politician has is hide his motives you think he's gonna change anything? he already fucking bombed syria twice
This movie was WAY ahead of its' time, and even though it won FOUR Oscars (1976), it is NEVER mentioned in FAKE NEWS MEDIA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(1976_film)
The setup of this scene is simply amazing. You have this guy, Beale, who was just some small-time anchor who has suddenly become popular but is still a "small man" by Jensen's standards, being brought into this opulent room, seated at one end of a massive table, then the lights go down, and a guy whose power Beale could never understand starts ranting and raving at him while staring him down. The intimidation would be incredible for anyone, but especially for Beale who is a little unhinged at this point anyway. Ned Beatty's delivery is top-notch.
Yes.. heh well you are of course correct about that. But any amount of "empty space" we (probably ever) measure would have a weight because of those virtual particles always existing in some amount of that space at any time while other parts of it is truly empty at that particular time.. only to switch places the following instant.
hm, well a bounded closed looping torus which is very large would indeed make observation of the boundary difficult. However, if we know the dimensions perhaps we can use a combination of measurements to determine the internal topography therefore know it has a boundary. Tough call.
I was talking about any amount of measurable seemingly empty space, you were talking about the a true vacuum state (which must have been in a fixed moment) or the very fabric of space.
I see, explaining the apparent gravitational distortion but also consistent of an average of any volume of space without seeing a massive concentration of mass accumulation. It's not just more mass, it's more mass that refuses to be dragged into a gravity well to stay there. Hm, very interesting.
Yes, you are most likely right that energy/mass is needed, but even the vacuum of space contain energy. Short summary of what I mean is in Wiki vacuum state: "According to present-day understanding of what is called the vacuum state or the quantum vacuum, it is "by no means a simple empty space",[1] and again: "it is a mistake to think of any physical vacuum as some absolutely empty void."[2] (continued)
We don't know if the universe is infinite or not, but if it is not there should be a boundary. String theory and M theory also suggest we have many different dimensions. It does not mean they all have to be contained inside our universe. What is outside our universe, if anything, we can probably never know while being trapped inside it. But it does not neccessarily mean that there isn't any outside. What we observe also depend on the shape of the universe, it may be a closed system like a torus.
"According to quantum mechanics, the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence.[3][4][5]" Empty space will be empty one instance and the next have mass through the interaction of fields and creation of virtual particles. We will likely observe this in any measureable amount of empty space. I was not referring to the fabric of space itself.
Correct. Their weight is likely in a state of constant flux which would increase the difficulty in weighting them in addition to the constant changing of position and especially, since they exist in state close to a vacuum it would naturally be very hard for us to actually tell the actual weight. But we see that there's a lot less physical mass in the universe than what there should be. This has been attributed to dark energy, I think this actually is virtual particles.
"empty space" can't have weight if the virtual particles are not actually there. So far we've never found a way to measure their weight/mass even by distortion of space-time ... unless we've fundamentally misunderstood what we observed, which is possible.
The WMAP has given us some hints, but it's not in any way conclusive, depending on who ypu ask it all always support their own theories. There is also a future or ongoing project that is supposed to improve upon this but I forgot what it was called.
thats cause it was like that back then too, every once and awhile they will show the truth, and it will go relatively unnoticed, thats part of how they get their kicks by practically handing us the truth of things and yet nothing changes

I’m 40’now and this changed my view of life 6 years ago but one thing he said that was wrong, which was, man was like this when we he was born from slime. Wrong. We weren’t always like this. We became like this , we were transformed gradually over time when the powers that be
I don't think our instruments are advanced enough to acchieve that level of accuracy, therefore my definition of "measureable seemingly empty space" is not false.
Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors. In summation you cannot easily disprove psychology. You need neurobiological evidence to support your counter claims.
you typed something VERY similar to "when we define empty space as the absence of matter and/or energy, how then does empty space have weight?" Do you agree? THAT was why I commenced explaining what phenomena I was reffering to. Do you see how I interpreted it as a set definition and not a hypothesis?
and the CUSTOMER gets the product cheaper than IF his/her personal time+skills were used to make the item and/or perform the services traded for. This is profit for the customer AND the seller AT THE SAME TIME, FROM THE SAME TRANSACTIONS. Not all profit is a material good and most profit is NOT a subtraction of cost from revenue but ALL profit is a removal of inefficiency by reducing a COST in energy, time, complexity and distance.
Yes I realized my folly and replied to you again earlier than your reply to me with a correction. I was referring to an measureable amount of so called "empty space", it will have weight because of virtual particles existing in that space at any given time. Virtual particles only exist for a brief moment before tha matter and antimatter cancel eachother out, only to reappear in another spot of the space as in the video in the link.
no - there is no reason to imagine there is an "outside" to the universe - this is not implied by the word "expanding". What is implied by "expanding" is that the space between objects gets bigger and the energy-density at any given point is reducing (cooling). Nothing implies an outer-boundary. You only imagine it but you can't prove that one must ever have existed. But space actually IS completely empty: photons & gravity can transmit THROUGH it but it stores nothing. It's empty.

GOD. HIS VOICE IS AWESOME!!!!
This monologue is so golden.
Yes.. heh well you are of course correct about that. But any amount of "empty space" we (probably ever) measure would have a weight because of those virtual particles always existing in some amount of that space at any time while other parts of it is truly empty at that particular time.. only to switch places the following instant.

Their weight is likely in a state of constant flux which would increase the difficulty in weighting them in addition to the constant changing of position and especially, since they exist in state close to a vacuum it would naturally be very hard for us to actually tell the actual weight. But we see that there's a lot less physical mass in the universe than what there should be. This has been attributed to dark energy, I think this actually is virtual particles.
HOLY COW. and this was done in 1976!! my god.
"empty space" can't have weight if the virtual particles are not actually there. So far we've never found a way to measure their weight/mass even by distortion of space-time ... unless we've fundamentally misunderstood what we observed, which is possible.
The world is a business, now SQUEAL like I have SQUEALED before!
The most powerful scene of all time. Timeless dialogue and the best salesman of all time
I have to perform a monologue in a theater for a festival next month, I just might choose this as my act
The WMAP has given us some hints, but it's not in any way conclusive, depending on who ypu ask it all always support their own theories. There is also a future or ongoing project that is supposed to improve upon this but I forgot what it was called.
thats cause it was like that back then too, every once and awhile they will show the truth, and it will go relatively unnoticed, thats part of how they get their kicks by practically handing us the truth of things and yet nothing changes
Speaking with an Ancap.
No, I merely continued because I thought it was rather fun to see how you would continue. The point is continued in another post.
one hell of a sales pitch. but I ain't buyin it.
This is one of my favorite movies.It is relevant forever “All boredom amused “ Coff coff Facebook or Meta whatever they want to call themselves.Wake up people
I’m 40’now and this changed my view of life 6 years ago but one thing he said that was wrong, which was, man was like this when we he was born from slime. Wrong. We weren’t always like this. We became like this , we were transformed gradually over time when the powers that be
So...this s**t's still truth.
Yes!
Yes Mr Luthoorr!!
One more time people!
I don't think our instruments are advanced enough to acchieve that level of accuracy, therefore my definition of "measureable seemingly empty space" is not false.
I claim no form of victory. The claiming is all yours. And you can have it for all I care.
Possibly Ned Beaty's greatest ever performance
"workers of the world, unite" karl marxs
Ned Beatty. Otis. Trenchant and Prescient. More relevant today than it was in 1976.
Humanity makes the world more practical, and doing this, it complicates.
That "fat guy" is actually Ned Beatty. You have seen him, probably, in more movies than I could count.
Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases.
Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors.
In summation you cannot easily disprove psychology. You need neurobiological evidence to support your counter claims.
A boss might've reminded you at one point that the whole reason we are in business is to make money.
Ned nailed this performance....
you typed something VERY similar to "when we define empty space as the absence of matter and/or energy, how then does empty space have weight?" Do you agree? THAT was why I commenced explaining what phenomena I was reffering to. Do you see how I interpreted it as a set definition and not a hypothesis?
and the CUSTOMER gets the product cheaper than IF his/her personal time+skills were used to make the item and/or perform the services traded for. This is profit for the customer AND the seller AT THE SAME TIME, FROM THE SAME TRANSACTIONS. Not all profit is a material good and most profit is NOT a subtraction of cost from revenue but ALL profit is a removal of inefficiency by reducing a COST in energy, time, complexity and distance.
Yes I realized my folly and replied to you again earlier than your reply to me with a correction. I was referring to an measureable amount of so called "empty space", it will have weight because of virtual particles existing in that space at any given time. Virtual particles only exist for a brief moment before tha matter and antimatter cancel eachother out, only to reappear in another spot of the space as in the video in the link.
no - there is no reason to imagine there is an "outside" to the universe - this is not implied by the word "expanding". What is implied by "expanding" is that the space between objects gets bigger and the energy-density at any given point is reducing (cooling). Nothing implies an outer-boundary. You only imagine it but you can't prove that one must ever have existed.
But space actually IS completely empty: photons & gravity can transmit THROUGH it but it stores nothing. It's empty.
Ned Beatty is a versatile actor, compare this performance to his one as Lex Luthor's sidekick in Superman.
perrin6: I forgot how talented he is !!!
