    “Ambition the moth of holiness.”

    I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this one. The politics, the ideological camps among the cardinals, and the race to the top were all incredibly entertaining. The pinch of humor included throughout the film was just enough—not too much, and not too little. The music score was also fantastic, and the cast was incredible.

    I did, however, have some issues. I obviously know that this is a movie, so it’s made to…

    Doorman: "Good afternoon Mr. Beale."
    Howard Beale: "I MUST MAKE MY WITNESS."
    Doorman: "Sure thing, Mr. Beale."

    Wow, this movie was a roller coaster. I was afraid I wasn't grasping the right plot for about the first quarter of the movie. I wasn't sure if it was going to be about Howard Beale's real attempt at his on-air promise, or if it was going to be about the network's response to it. I quickly realized it wasn't going to be…
