Aug 10, 2009 - The actual last sentence is "This was the story of Howard Beale... the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings." Just for information

Aug 29, 2009 - I get chills every time I hear this

darkultra Says:

Sep 8, 2009 - - "So if you want the truth, go to God." Wrong. If you want truth, go to science and learn about hypothesis, observations and theories. Because God can do everything, God is unfalsifiable. If you want to get as close to the truth as possible, get fanatics from both side of the discussion and listen to their best arguments.

Oct 1, 2009 - Eat a dick you pedantic loser.

TheKaos90 Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - U must not go anywhere , because you don;t really need the truth . Though if you want it , look into a mirror and the person there is the only one who can reveal the only truth

LordAkira Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - Why do statues of christ bleed? Why do people suffer stigmatas? Why do ghosts exist? Where's your scientific explanation for that ya stupid wanker!

LordAkira Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - TV has been replaced by an even greater force.....one more fearsome and more corrupt than TV 10 times over. It's called the Internet.

jsbooyah Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - this is so true people, we have become so dependant on material things that we have lost ourselves. As long as the computer is working it will be fine or if we find we left out mobiles home we act like its the end of the world. We are the real thing. Cherish yourselves before any inanimate object. Go to god. BTW watch the arrivals!!!!!!!!! ON YOUTUBE IT WILL SCARE THE HELL OUTTA U much love to everyone i hope we can learn from this xxxx

TenderTrap86 Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - This is so prophetic. The nation is falling apart. There are two wars going on with no hope of withdrawl in the forseeable future. There is massive umemployment and it grows with each passing month. And all that's on the news is what's happening between Jon and Kate Gosslin and the boy in the balloon.

surdelviento Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - hi man, so much agree with you, what is the arrivals? I look for it in youtube ?

surdelviento Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - guys there´s no use in being chaotic, the situation is bad but the pesimist attitude will follow us nowhere, everyone knows what they can do to change, don´t try to convince people on how to. True people will follow your example not your words. Don´t be afraid in doing something and people don´t follow you, the whole issue TV is based on, is in the fear of not being accepted, being alone, being appart from the world. Man, Plato wrote this ages ago (Republic) , Say no more, just do it

RipDeLips Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Peter Finch, you magnificent bastard, you were an acting force. His words are still compelling.

unsheepled Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - people believe any sh!t the idiot box still tells them, they wont think for themselves, they no longer can.Ever notice that most conversations people have on any subject sound like a re- broadcast of some drivel spewed by a talking head ? Peter Finch never spoke anything more true... Killyourtv com

LeoDiamondTV Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - no matter how many times i see it. i love this brodcast. thanx for posting. five stars.

fatdaddyb28 Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Howard Beale, if he were real, should be president. TV should be changed for the better or banned altogether. OK, maybe president is a little far fetched, but I would want such a person teaching in college..... or high school.

WordsOfTruth1 Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - yes, it's a youtube series, it's magnificent. you can find it on my channel :)

desolate2 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - lol that so true. I used to be hooked on tv, I hardly watch it anymore cuz I now go online for absolutely everything.

desolate2 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - its hilarious, but does any1 know why he keeps fainting?

"Network" (1976) Howard Beale - The 'Mad Prophet of the Airwaves' speech delivered by Peter Finch Movie Torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3616870/Network.avi Transcript: Beale: Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition! And woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!! So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3 percent of you people read books. Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers. This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world. And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people. And that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA -- the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the 20th floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network. So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the Truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win. 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!!
