[CaliforniaVolante]

too deep for me.

[TheSlingshotWarrior]

You guys know The Collective is still actively working and alive, right? And also kind of in charge of the planet? Here:

The last post-modern masterpiece ever.

[MrGiladG]

one of the best documentary ever!

[thejobloshow]

Absolutely blew my mind. One of the saving graces of last year.

[zeroinfinit]

Adam Curtis documentaries are like crack to me.

3:31 OHM CHICHI DIM DIWAI

[DonFuego1]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THE INSTRUMENTAL OF 1:31 NINE INCH NAILS RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS. My god the song sounds so good, I just want to play the instrumental over and over.

Rand claims appreciation is only conferred on the value (a universal) of which an individual exhibits mastery: "you love people not for what you do for them or what you do for you. You love them for the values or virtues which they have achieved in their own character." This exhibition of individual attainment then confers a sense of deservedness. Yet such notions require faith in supra-individual, universal standards & a transactional platform, not in radical autonomism. She is no Max Stirner.

[KlaasPoelman]

@musicalidea : 'you do for you'?

We know nothing, for sure.

[DonFuego1]

Oh my god Nine Inch Nails just fits so perfectly with the technology and the melancholy "we almost had it" feeling of the whole thing. Curtis is a god damn genius, no matter your view on his opinions and ideals.

[lancsFrogger]

this show is serious quality

if u wanna understand the 'psychology of the modern world' (i don't know what else to call it), this series explains like pretty much nothing else i've come across

[lancsFrogger]

@musicalidea u start by calling me ignorant, continue with barely intelligible babble, then finish with a couple of recommendations

dude, u seriously need to work on ur communication skills

[scorchio65ify]

Adam curtis is something else

[SSDEdward]

thank u for this video finally figured out the name of the songs i wanted! :) 

[nbrain]

saw Adam Curtis this week at the q&a at Sheffield's doc/fest. I wish the woman asking questions was better. his answers seemed to sail right over her head and she just wasted time with her additional questions based on her misapprehension.

Hope to see you there next year Adam!!!!

[keshav751]

Can't find the right nine inch nails - right where it belongs version! None of them have the booming piano in them. Can anyone help please?

[Revoltingsheeple]

@keshav751 It's right where it belongs v1

[biotwat]

@keshav751

it could be that it's been edited by the editing team, or it sounds different/more powerful bc we were watching it with an emotive visual

[VillemarMxO]

However slow Part 2 was, it's more than made up for in Part 3. Had to pick my jaw off the floor after that one. Just stunning & horrifyingly brilliant.

[ooglebydoogleby]

Really enjoyed this documentary but I have to say that whilst i have no doubt that there were social experiments of all sorts in the sixties, that could be pointed to as a template for current ways of thinking about the world the idea that science sees nature as a self regulating system is rather undermined by the reasoning of science which has always been to tame the wild unpredictability of nature. The disconnect with the machine metaphor is useful though.

[redfiredragonslayer]

Part I was superb. Thoroughly contentious, yes, and I don't subscribe to much of the narrative presented but that's the point. It was a fucking rollercoaster of a ride. Part II was disappointing for me, however. It lacked the breadth of the preceding episode.

[kasyapa]

i hope that this part two is not as hideously bad as part I was. part I was one of the most horrendously error-ridden things ever transmitted on television.

[francisteardrop]

@kasyapa Yeah I too had issues with Part 1, but still enjoyed it. Part 2 was quite solid, however.

[SSCFPA]

In an age dominated by dumbed down, lowest common denominator BS, thank god for Curtis.

Even if you only accept some of his points, at least it gets you thinking.

Doing so in a startling and entertaining way.

'Educate, inform and entertain' was the original BBC charter from the first radio broadcasts in the 1920's, in our multi platform, multi channel world, that's hard to do. Most tastes have to be accounted for, sure make the soaps and 'reality TV' just also give people like Curtis space too.

[lonerogue]

Curtis is loving that Creative Commons Nine Inch Nails music.

[ptwob]

i want to see the 2nd episode. Curtis has some of my favorite documentaries. i cant think of many others with the same informational value and class.

[1966davro]

In place of the Ayn Rands world of utopia it is more of a George Orwellian controlled society of which we all are part of !. David Cameron's big society will not work and the I.M.F. are still going through the same cycle of boom and bust..?. Adam Curtis has pointed out the part we all play in the global system. Good stuff ......thumb's up

[globaleyes]

Stunning show.

[myceneria]

Part 1 "Power and Love" is riveting, can't wait for 2 and 3.

Curtis is the most important film-maker you've never heard of. (Well, actually, he's just the most important film-maker. And you've probably not heard of him.)

[psweep]

Loved it. Kicks Sociology ass

[mytimetravellingdog]

thank the flying spagetti monster for Adam Curtis being able to make the films he wants and for the BBC archive and their blanket music agreement which give him the tools that aloow him to do it. there is probably no where else in the world where he could make this stuff.

[Krackadjax]

@mytimetravellingdog

The BBC still feed you propaganda like all mainstream media. The Bin Laden farce has been a laughing stock from start to finish and the BBC gave us the full dumb down feed on that one. Anyhow, out of the mainstream media here in the UK, Channel 4, has a little better coverage on this 'stuff'.

[RPFS2008]

@mytimetravellingdog

...paid for by others.

[L00kng]

@mytimetravellingdog

Amen!

[Sozlled]

@mytimetravellingdog Completely agree. I fully respect the BBC for showing Adam Curtis documentaries, especially "The Power of Nightmares" which MUST have made a few people in the establishment cringe a few dozens times.

I am trying to find the full version of this somewhere here, not having much luck at the moment.

[finneganssleep]

@Sozlled go to archive.org

[Sozlled]

@finneganssleep Thanks but i got it from VeeHD. If anyone else wants it search for it on Google and type VeeHD after it. I suggest you register at VeeHD or else it will ask you to install a Plugin which i personally avoid if at all possible.

[carrieoff]

@Sozlled

Check out top documentary for Adam Curtis and many other great docs.

[Sozlled]

@carrieoff I'v seen This one, The Trap, some of The Centuary of the Self and my favourite, The Power of Nightmares.

[3LARI]

[pieinthesky5]

what is the music at the very beginning? first 10 seconds

[karakiriflight]

i would like to know the name of the punk song at the end of the video !!

[fortheloveofsanity]

@karakiriflight it's 'AUA' by Stereo Total.

I would really like to know what the song from about 1:35 to 2:10 is. It sounds Eno-like but I haven't been able to track it down.

[lamingt0n]

@fortheloveofsanity It's 'Right Where it Belongs' by Nine Inch Nails. Quality shizzle.

[fortheloveofsanity]

@lamingt0n Thanks!

[karakiriflight]

i would like to know the name of the punk sing at the end of the video !!
