"We'll tell you any shit you want to hear." Over 40 years old and is just as timely for today as ever. You could substitute 'Internet' for Tube and the meaning would still be the same.
The technology for producing moving pictures has spread everywhere nowadays. Truth and knowledge spread faster than ever before, but so does the shit we just want to hear. We're in desperate need for truth, even discomforting truth, so keep turning to yourselves and discovering the truth around you.
One of many reasons this is by far my favourite film. It was timely and relevant when it debuted, as it is today. It simultaneously chronicled the present (1976) and it is always foretelling the future.
When you think about how old this movie is, it sure says alot about life today. The part near the end when he talks about the dehumanization of people it's almost scary. It is scary. I own this film & watch it atleast a few times a year.
@@andybaldman YEP! Most people take positions of office just to later "write a book" which ends up in them making "millions". Yea ok. They are just being paid off for 'keeping in line'.
Yes the launder money is spot on, look at all these supposed political pundits that sell trash books over and over, to be gate keepers and obviously the politicians too
CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, all of them, they're all doing the exact same shit. The only thing that differentiates any TV news network from any other TV news network is that they cater to different audiences. If you want the news, you'd have better luck saying "fuck the outside world" and just reading your local small-town newspaper. If your local newspaper isn't on the verge of going out of business, however, then be skeptical of what they print. Generally speaking, the newspapers that actually give a shit about giving their communities unbiased news without catering to the masses are the ones that struggle to make any money. Newspapers that are financially solvent typically cater to the whims and desires of those who give them money to advertise in their paper.
