TV / The bigest illusion / Think outside the box !
    #5654493 - 05/20/06 08:41 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I saw the movie "Network" (1976) and the best quote from the move blew me away.

I never thought of this, Peter Finch yells a famous quote that will last for years to come , and the way he says it is perfect.


You people and sixty-two million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books. Because less than fifteen 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, god-damned 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 twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome, god-damned propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what s--t will be peddled for truth on this network. So, you listen to me! Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Television is a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, story tellers, 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 your 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 want to hear. We lie like hell! We'll tell you that Kojack always gets the killer, and nobody ever gets cancer in 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 s--t 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 am speaking to you now. Turn them off!

I was so into it and in the middle of the peak of my trip I found myself rewinding this part about 10 times.

********Has any one seen this move? if not, go see it! It will make you think about what you see on TV.

Just had a talk with my mom about it, I was born in 1984 so this was before I was created.

Its a film about how TV is becoming the most powerfull device.
and as the move goes on and on it plays out to a larger piece of the puzzle.

That is to say its a mass "mind control"

My mom said that at this time (1976) the news networks were becoming more and more slanted and twisted. And news at at that time was becoming less interesting and "entertainment" more and more interesting than news.

So then news, which was the most predominate thing on TV at the beginning is now slanted twisted and flat out lied about, and the result is what we see on TV today... more entertainment than news.
