Absolutely agree with you. Debord's arguments are more than valid today than ever before. A single example of that: Reality shows.

Thanks very much for uploading. Debord´s truth has been confirmed since 1967 and it is more actual than ever.

i wish the narration was the same voice as Alpha 60 in Godard's Alphaville.

A new film titled '20-22: Society of the Spectacle' will be coming out in late 2012

@theH0UNDSofD00M Its really amazing how he talked about mass media mind control and propaganda. I just cant look at the world the same way after reading his book, consumerism and all those spectacles disgust me, not that Im a socialist organizer, I also hate the regimes marxism influenced, just shows how we are actually too greedy to make a fair economic and political system, we're just monkeys after all, what can you expect right.

@OutsideTheBox28 I think you're right, plus, I guess Debord's work is not copyrighted. certainly not the texts he wrote, at least not the one I've found at bopsecrets(dot)org is not.

I also agree that his work is now more important than ever, for the simple reason that now it's easier to spread the word, well, sort of...Hopefully the receiver is not watching soaps or "reality" tv shows on-line.

Today, half naked men's bodies would be included in such a film. While women's bodies r still objectified to a far worse degree, watching this film has made me aware of how much in the last few years men's bodies r becoming more of a sexualized spectacle rather than just a spectacle of masculinity and power. I really wish the media would leave all of our bodies alone. And I also think we should remake this film for today's audiences!

@riovuaeb : Plus généralement, quant à l'idée que "to assume an 'authentic' truth underlying the spectacle itself" serait naïf, que pensez-vous du postulat de Badiou selon lequel "il n'y a que des corps et des langages (= axiome du 'spectacle'), sinon qu'il y a des vérités (=ce qu'il convient selon Badiou d'opposer audit 'spectacle')" ? Merci.
