It depends of political view

The movie is a critique itself. Depends of the political view of 'the spectator', it is masterpiece or rubbish. And another group will find this movie too hard to understand and confusing, a kind of mumbling gibberish or an intellectual fart. First two political perspective, I welcome respect and salute. The last group go back to your place in this world. You are travelling a wrong direction.This documentary style of montage of images with reading a narrative and adding some scenes from other movies creates a boring style. The images very powerful but the ideas surpass images and take the focus from images and creates a thinking frenzy. Some very provocative, some subtle.My critique to this movie, Could we use better images? More accurate timing, stronger images. Could we focus less idea? Instead try to answer and reach every aspects and create very concentrated movie, little diluted more visually pleasing and easily understandable movie/documentary.Very interesting piece. It is very hard to watch without prejudice. Definitely recommend, even as a mental challenge. 8/10.

Listen up silly children ?

Here to inform all those silly little children who criticize anarchists based on Debord's society of spectacle that Debor(e)d was NOT an anarchist and that he had made 6 films.Just because you read him doesn't mean you understood him.Your iq doesn't allow you to.Also because I'm feeling myself at the moment I would like to inform you that when I was an anarchist, you were still sucking milk.Oh you didn't find this review helpful? I bet 3-4 of your friends will feel the same way and you will think that you look like a lot of people.Who are you convincing?No one, but you strengthen the ties between your little sect.In your eco chamber.
