Well, let's agree to differ.

No! Definitely not! You're wrong!

But I'm fairly sure you're wrong. I'm going to watch pt. 3 soon.

Ok, well then you'll see that "nobody was in charge" is what Curtis actually says.

One of the greatest scenes in cinema history

 

[version]

Luke Davis 3 years ago
One of the greatest scenes in cinema history. The horror of waking up to this unbelievably horrific nightmare world of horrifying machines. You are a battery! Unbelievable! This isn't a movie, it's a documentary!

 

[Mr. Tea]

It's like Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus', only it's the Birth of Luka.

 

[luka]

I've watched four episodes now. Reminds you how horrible history is. A lot of killing and that. Quite depressing really.

Adam Curtis: Social media is a scam | Idler

Tom Hodgkinson meets the documentary film maker Adam Curtis

www.idler.co.uk

I know everyone says there’s a massive amount of information on the internet but actually, if you analyse it, there is very little. It tends to be the same thing repeated over and over again. This is something to do with Google rankings; it’s also something to do with the speed with which journalism must be done. So what you have to do is go and read books. Read really boring, old books. Among the academic rubbish, and the very badly written academic phraseology, there are really good stories.

 

[luka]

He's right. Books are the only escape. You have to go outside the Internet it's a mind control machine. But on the other hand, books are boring.

Adam Curtis on Our Troubled Times, TikTok and Taking Back the Internet

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head: An Emotional History of the Modern World is the cult filmmaker’s expansive documentary series exploring the impact of individualism on politics and our psyches

www.anothermag.com

he's all over the shop

i wonder if you get his message better from the interviews, he denies really having a message though and is slippery

 

[shiels]

Just finished it. The last one is the best and I think you’ll like it luke. I’m also thinking about how stiff sexless and unfunny it all is, very English. A very conservative nihilism if such a thing can exist. Not much fun

No he comes across as brain dead in interviews. The programmes are brilliant though.
