Paddy Chayefsky's black, prophetic, satirical commentary/criticism of corporate evil (in the tabloid-tainted television industry) is an insightful indictment of the rabid desire for ratings. Indignation toward the network executives by an unbalanced news-anchorman (Finch) ("I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore") is manipulated by ruthless VP programming boss (Dunaway) for further ratings. One of the film's posters correctly proclaimed: "Television will never be the same."</center><br /><center><object id="player" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://videobb.com/e/3nVXaSD8e4mZ"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://videobb.com/e/3nVXaSD8e4mZ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object></center><br /><center><table style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><center><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">"I'm as mad as hell,<br /><br /> and I'm not going to take this anymore !!!"</span></span></center></table></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6851402445826682570-5680236228542562429?l=network1976.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>911Revolutionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07615576280019354554noreply@blogger.com0
