[Situationist Film] Can Dialectics Break Bricks? 1

Brilliant. Thanks for posting this.

this is complete crap!

I mean, the title is supposed to be tongue in cheek.

i understand the reason for appropriation, what i mean to say is that this video is part of the spectacle. you and i know only the history of the process and are not active participants in its creation, rather we take what we find and make it our own, intimate it until it feels natural. you say "propaganda for our side," assuming you are aligned somehow

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's supposed to be, the whole premise of the movie is based on cultural hegemony theory. I mean I think what's amusing about it is that it is transparent propaganda, its a mockery of bourgeois popular culture, they've turned it on its head and really exposed the absurdity of it here. I don't mean propaganda as a pejorative necessarily. I think its self-consciously spectacular, mass media is so oriented towards novelty, so I think the movie does what its supposed to.

You're begging the question, I don't see the implication here.
