This media satire, directed by Sidney Lumet from a brilliantly incisive script by Paddy Chayefsky, is an X-ray of the corrupted soul of a corporate-dominated America, startlingly prescient in its anticipation of today’s outrage-driven news cycle. At a struggling television network, ambitious executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) finds herself with a hit on her hands when disgruntled newscaster Howard Beale (Peter Finch) goes off script, transforming himself into a mad-as-hell prophet railing against the ills of modern society. But can she control the populist revolution they have unleashed on the airwaves? Garnering four Oscars, including for Dunaway, Finch, and Chayefsky, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant.

Newscaster Howard Beale has a message for those who package reports of cute puppies, movie premieres and fender benders as hard news: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore." Sidney Lumet directs Paddy Chayefsky's satire (an Academy Award®-winning screenplay) about the things people do for love... and ratings.

Herausragende Satire

Scritta il 17. gennaio 2004 da dps.

Questa recensione si riferisce a una versione alternativa.

In den goldenen 70ern des Kinos entstand diese bissige und brillante Mediensatire mit Starbesetzung. Von Anfang bis Ende herrscht Hochspannung dank den erstklassigen Schauspieler und dem intelligenten und unterhaltsamen Plot.
Obwohl dieser Film über ein Vierteljahrhundert alt ist, wirkt er hochaktuell. Wer von den hirnlosen Privatsendern die Schnauze voll hat, sollte sich diesen Film unbedingt ansehen.
