1. 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?
A speaker explained the television in this video. Most people do not use the time for reading books and newspaper. The speaker told us the television set doesn't have truths. So we lived in the illusion. Finally, he insisted us that we turn off the television and then, we see truths.
2. Is this message more or less relevant today than 30 years ago when this movie came out?
I think this massage is more relevant to today society rather than 30 year's ago because TV is familiar thing with us. We can see TV in most house and also we can find it easily. People get many information as watch the television. They spend more time to reading book and newspaper than to watch TV because TV gets information faster than book and newspaper. In my case, I can do different work at same time as watch the television.
3. 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?
These days, it's not only American's problem but also a worldwide issue. Koreans spend too much time on watching TV. Koreans think now we have technology to get information like TV. Koreans don't like to read newspaper and book, so people to read books decrease every year. this message is for every country in the world.
4. 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?
It was not interesting to me, but not bored because I understand speaker tried to explain to us. I think this video shows the direction of our life.

I, too, think that it is a universal lesson. There are so many people who spend so much time watching the TV. Worse, they often let the TV do their thinking for them, since it is so prevalent.
