I watched this after it was last posted to hacker news. The footage from the BBC archives is excellent and the narrative it strings together is compelling. Any other books or movies that expand on similar topics?
- smcl 10y agoBitter Lake is another film by the same person (Adam Curtis) film I think you'd like
- wycx 10y agoI think Curtis' most underrated series is The Mayfair Set. It certainly planted a seed in me regarding interest in economic history. Not to mention, "We built this city on high yield bonds".
- smcl 10y agoAfter I posted my comment I found a huge playlist of Curtis films on Youtube, and worked my way through The Mayfair Set - very enjoyable, but I feel a bit dirty afterwards (there's a lot of shady goings on and seedy people, it feels infectious)
- louthy 10y ago'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' [1] is nicely done, even if Adam Curtis has a tendency to make links that might not really be there, he's certainly thought provoking. [1] https://vimeo.com/groups/96331/videos/80799353 https://vimeo.com/groups/96331/videos/80799353
