"Bronze Age Pevert/Adam Curtis/Mark Fischer"
"I'm thinking The Zone of Interest, The Father, and the films of Adam Curtis."
"I just found a theory that explains how the foundations of our society are so evil and corrupt that I'm actually superior for not participating in it. Everyone who makes more money than me probably works for Raytheon or some other evil company lol. Have you heard of dalooze and gattari. Have you hea"
"Block by block, Adam Curtis' astonishing history uses archival footage to build a narrative of societal collapse, political opportunism, corruption and identity crisis in the USSR's final hour. Curtis mines the mundane footage that most TV producers would fast-forward through, sharing English lesson"

"The Adam Curtis documentary about the past few years is gonna SLAP."
"Has a Adam Curtis documentary"
"The modern moment of hysteria around white supremecists, Trumpists, misinformation, hidden racism etc. is really just an extension of the politics of fear that Neocons developed after 9/11. As millenials we grew up in an environment of fear and hidden boogeymen - it's how we relate to politics, we'r"
"But if there is anything Adam Curtis documentaries taught me is that there is no balance or natural order, we must rather adapt to our changing enviroment to survive in a dignified matter."
"I was watching an Adam Curtis doc and couldn't help but notice that the BBC seems to have stuck a camera in front of nearly everything."
"Weyes Blood had Adam Curtis do the visuals for her set tonight at Pitchfork. She was twirling and swaying in the most beautiful long flowing robe."
"Watching the entirety of the latest Adam Curtis film Can't Get You Out Of My Head and listening to this phenomenal interview the girls did with him knocked something loose in my brain that's been stuck for most of a decade. Taken together, they've made me feel like I might not be a complete idiot fo"
"I meet a cute girl, we hit it off, I bring her back to my place and throw on an Adam Curtis doc. Will I get laid, yes or yes?"
"Curtis uses some of these songs in multiple films, so I just noted the film I remember seeing it in or where it was used prominently. It Felt Like A Kiss (Complete Film) [Including this because it's basically just music throughout; also, it's his best film in my opinion.]"
"When somebody like Harvey Weinstein behaves the way he does, we are shocked and we think he should be punished. There are different ways that feeling can be expressed socially by journalists, politicians and activists. But if you look at the way the MeToo movement is going, it's behaving increasingl"
"Watching the power of nightmares (all his documentaries are on YouTube btw among others like Herzog and more, stop watching slop by video essay YTers) and it's very compelling but I'm wondering how much of the narrative is true and not dishonestly presented with complex events aggrandised for a gran"
"His films critique propaganda, influence and the media yet use similar tactics to engage viewers. The use of music, text and a sea of images are less about information and more about creating a mood/triggering emotions. I don't know whether he does this because it's the quickest way to engage the ma"
"In the first episode of his documentary Cant Get You Out of My Head, Curtis dismisses the accusations of New Orleans DA James Garrison that JFK was killed by his own goverment. Having listened to the Chapo episodes on GHW Bush it just seems odd he would say there's no evidence to implicate the CIA ,"
"The documentary Dasha was talking about."
"I appreciated the mention of 2pac in the girls' interview with Adam Curtis (and in his film!) as they touched something that always fascinated me about the arc of his life. 2pac's ambitions were superficially fulfilled yet fundamentally frustrated. He understood that he was stuck in a dead-end but c"

"Some Music from Adam Curtis's docs that I like"

"Listened to the Adam Curtis interview recently and have been thinking a lot about the things he said re: visual journalism, nostalgia, etc."
"I'm talking about multiple episodes covering a single topic/idea. Like what Ken Burns or Adam Curtis does."
