Week 9 EOC: Network, how much research shaped the network

The thing that I noticed the most in the movie was that they really used the fall of a man’s life to help them grab more viewers on their TV show.  The first thing that I noticed was when he talked about killing himself it was looked at like a bad thing and Dian used it has a way to make a whole new show and that became a huge hit.  The stronger that he felt about how bad his life was and how bad the life of the rest of America was the more he talked about it and the higher the ratings were.  There was a part in the movie that showed Diane that she had a great experience with the bank robbers and she wanted to make a show out of it.  She noticed that this is what America wanted. They wanted new things and new things to see on TV.  That is how at the end of the movie she used her new show to end the run of an old amazing show.  The network understood that even though they had something really good going that it was going to be the end of the network.  That is what is so bad about a network and that all they really care about is rating and future rating of the network.  That is why at the end of the movie they committed a huge crime by actually killing off the main character just to save the ratings.
