Tecnically, editing, soundtracks, movie references and using old vhs tapes is brilliant.
BUT that's not the point the more i think about this documentary the more problem i have with it it's so arrogant and manipulative and i wanna say even gasligting Adam Curtis manipulates events and draws lines to connect some maybe irrelavant events to eachother in his favour Although it is a doc about oversimplifiying complicated; but Curtis does this and simplifies facts becouse he is trying to feed you something. He won't tell you about dictators and how they get there and why.
For example Iran: they kicked out the Shah and put Khomeini on the chair they made everyone believe it as a revolution, made a new version of Islam aka english islam specificaly shia) ...a way to heaven if you kill enemy you are going to heaven and if you get killed you also going to heaven; who wouldn't want this!? A win win deal? Massive brainwashing.
They made this belief very bold, created a very dangerous as Curtis says "unstoppable human weapon".
For me it's crystal clear becouse this doc was published on BBC. I'm not expecting Britain specificly BBC attemp to enlighten the mass.
To be fair every now and then there is a fresh fact out there but over all i wouldn't call it as informative but entertaining.
