I definitely haven't seen a finer writer or more intriguing than Adam Curtis. Malcom Gladwell comes to mind, but I subjectively like AC bit better. My favorite is the one on the interaction between pets and their owners on TV and how it changed over time.
I still would like to see some contra argument, though I doubt I'll find much on HN.
- dmarusic16 13y agoMalcolm Gladwell is a fool. Curtis is better, though far from flawless.
- justincormack 13y agoThe only comparable person in terms of documentary is perhaps Jonathan Meades.
- smutticus 13y agoWhat about Simon Reeve? Maybe not in the same deepness level as Curtis but very much worth watching. Especially if you want to better understand human/nature interactions and how climate change and globilisation are effecting the world's poor.
