[@lorettagreen6794]

Yah I think that’s a skill we need to learn, the ability to take and explore the understanding from the pieces stitched together by someone else or you, without believing it’s the only way they fit together. Curtis is just giving people narratives that give a depth of understanding -not saying this is the only or even best explanation. I feel like similarly the value of zizek work is in the skill he teaches you with his analysis (not the conclusions he arrives at): - how to see and think beneath the operating ideology.

[@dethkon]

@@lorettagreen6794 All I want to say is that this is a good analysis, of Curtis and Žižek. edit: I might add Foucault in there as well, regarding methods to recognize and interrogate Power. Do you have an opinion about this?

[@kenzominami9191]

Yes! Very excited about this series as well as this interview.

[@artsimulation]

I've been watching Adam Curtis films for as long as I can remember and, as far as I'm concerned, he is the Picasso our documentary age. I watched 'The Trap' 32 times and each time I heard or saw something I had missed. As an artist I love detail because detail is where the mystery and magic lies. Curtis gives me that detail that I treasure and crave so much and so his films are deliciously addictive. The real mystery of Curtis is that, although he is a genius documentary maker, his own voice is perfect for his documentaries; is that a coincidence?

[@user-pe2yx9kt4e]

Except Picasso’s work didn’t add much good or value to the world (that’s my opinion and I’m sorry- I just didn’t like his work. I realize he had enough training and skill to paint more classical and I think I better pieces, but no, I still do not like or trust him overall- and that doesn’t matter because he still had his fame and will keep his place no matter what I think.) whereas Curtis at least has something good to offer

I find Adam Curtis a bit of an enigma. I loved the Power of Nightmares - one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. It seems though the older I get the more I think he could construct any opinion he wanted and used a clip here and a clip there to justify it, and hence makes me doubt what is in front of me.

Can't wait I re-watch Bitter Lake and smoke a bowl when I want an existential crisis

[@fredfredrickson5436]

Just another layer of state sanctioned propaganda; narrative fallback designed to disorientate the intelligentsia. In Bitter Lake (and Hypernormalisation) Kurtis employs an ominous soundtrack and a sober commentary approach to create an aura of stark, objective revelation, but the gravitas of the exposition and disconcertingly miasmatic visual presentation belie what is little more than a collage of decades old unreported trickle down news and half substantiated divergences that are perfectly contiguous with the approved mainstream overview. Ultimately it's obvious that Kurtis is employed in constructing yet more "overhang" on an assembly of certain inconvenient truths that have escaped into everyday public discourse and exposed the pseudoreality of the institutional media conduit. It's swashbucklingly brazen stuff, but no measure of the dark arts is going to rebottle the genie.

[@H0MEM0VIE]

Adam Curtis - Cool as F**k

[@matthewkopp2391]

The Century of the Self was his best documentary. I am a big fan of psychoanalytic psychology. I took a class in Berlin and we not only discussed the more obscure ideas in psychoanalytic psychology like those of Sándor Ferenczi but also alternative institutionalized psychologies under Nazism and communism. But also the standard more popular schools. Although I think there are some exceptional psychologists and psychoanalysts, there is also the other phenomenon of psychology holding hidden cultural ideologies and often the psychologists themselves are unaware. I think Curtis was brilliant at pointing out how the Riech school turned into grandiosity. One thing people don’t understand is that it came out of an alternative Marx school based on his concept of alienation. It was highly criticized by the right because anything influenced by Marx must be bad or dangerous. It was ironic and was really illuminating and a logical outcome that if you actually cure a sense of self alienation that Marx described there is no need for political Marxism. The question I have is how much the US government understood that. The people at Eselan invited Boris Yeltsin to a long retreat and it resulted in the illegal destruction of the USSR and all of Gorbachev’s reforms to an extremist shock therapy economic neoliberalism. This was the natural missing chapter of Adam Curtis. I really wish he revealed it in that documentary. He discusses it elsewhere but it really was the true ending of that film. The natural outcome of a Marxist derived version of Freud resulted in the election of Reagan/Clinton and Boris Yeltsin and the end of the USSR.

[@Browzan]

Adam, I love you man - can't believe you said Mortal Coil too - absolutely love this band. Keep making masterful work and deepening the game x great interview guys

[@rigaplex]

One marvellous thing that Adam Curtis documentaries do is that they superbly frames his obsession with ‘Power’. Of course power comes into play in many aspects of our lives but so does courage, cooperation and kindness. Such a narrow, dismal lens to see life through, no wonder his documentaries come across so very pessimistic. To borrow from the late Christopher Hitchens, “It is as if someone, offered a delicious and fragrant out-of-season fruit, matured in a painstakingly and lovingly designed hothouse, should throw away the flesh and the pulp and gnaw moodily on the pit.”

[@umchinagirard1800]

@@123Andersonev I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying, but I would change it to either “subjective truths” or “objective facts.”

[@dethkon]

John Carpenter used to be pretty good at it (come to think it, Curtis has used Carpenters music/movie scores to great effect in the past, such as in HyperNormalisation and Bitter Lake IIRC). But I think the “dread” we feel when presented with certain genealogies and ideas by Curtis comes from him making interventions into mainstream (and personal) narratives about the nature of the world, and thereby getting dangerously close to “The Real” by challenging our Imaginary and Symbolic registers (pardon my Lacan) using images, music, and speech. Having 3D (Robert del Naja) from Massive Attack oversee and help him with his soundtrack doesn’t hurt, either. Edit: Also, Chomsky is still alive, and continues his work in linguistics and political theory. He is just very, very old.

[@dethkon]

It’s also a type of explanation and interrogation of Capitalist Realism, which is horrifying. Someone made a comment that said “I wish Mark Fisher was alive to see this.” So I’m not the only one to have this thought.

I like what Adam Curtis says about finding patterns. Like Q Anon, one can find patterns by "connectng the dots" and arrive at a logical conclusion based on those connected dots. But there are so many "dots", adding the ones you miss can create a different pattern that adds up to a completely different logical conclusion.
