Now, you need to think about what message Howard Beale (the speaker) is trying to tell. It's fairly obvious. What message did you take away from this?
TV shows not the truth. So he suggests that people should not believe all of the news or intelligence from tube.
Is this message more or less relevant today than 30 years ago when this movie came out?
Yes, it is.
There are many news, intelligence, and information now, so I think this message is more relevant today than 30 years ago.
Is this a message for American audiences only, or is it a message that could be spread in your home country? Why or why not?
I think this is a message for not only American audiences but also many countries audiences because there are many TV in the world. So people can get many messages from TV. In modern society there are enough information so this message exists for people in the world.
Does this make you want to see the movie, or does it just sound like a boring old man trying to tell everyone how to live their life?
There are many kind of news in the world. So we can get a lot of information to watch a
TV. Also, we can have much knowledge to read a newspaper and books. He said about tube, but I think this problem is not only tube. The newspaper and books also bring so much information. We can know many things from media. I think sometimes that only information has wings without facts.
Even if I watch the TV and get news, it’s not intelligence that I get from my experience. It’s just one of information that I hear. There is the proverb, Picture is worth a thousand words. It’s significant to see with my own eyes. Seeing by myself makes sense for the first time. Also, if I get some news from media, it’s important to distinguish what is true or not and valuable or not for me, because what TV broadcast is not always true. In addition, it’s important to choose more essential thing for me from complex information.
Conclusion, I don’t want to see the movie more, but it’s necessary to think about what true and important for me is.
