DVD Reviews of The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis

DVD Review: Low Quality DVD, but Excellent Docmentary
Summary: 1 Stars

This is NOT an official BBC DVD, but appears to be a low quality MPEG4 conversion. The source is probably the Internet Archives. Don't waste your money on this DVD: simply download the same quality MPEG4 version from

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePowerOfNightmares

And, while you're at it, download Adam Curtis's other excellent documentary, "The Century of the Self." (Don't bother buying the DVD available here at Amazon, mistitled "Century of Self" - again, another MPEG4 to DVD conversion)

DVD Review: Finally an explanation that makes sense
Summary: 5 Stars

Adam Curtis looks at our current situation by following the complex history of key ideas. He refuses to accept the "received wisdom" that keeps us trapped in the present confusion. Whether you agree with him or not, he'll make you think. I now want to find and watch all his films. Not easy to do in the US apparently. I've seen "Century of the Self". Quite wonderful connections.

DVD Review: Powerful and Enlightening
Summary: 5 Stars

This documentary provides a very good historical basis for the situation we are in today, and, to me at least, illustrates how the foreign policy of the US is exactly the wrong policy to pursue. The radical Islamists will be defeated within Islam if we don't give credibility to their claims by behaving like we are trying to destry Islam with tactics using torture. Very good insights into the thinking and motivation of both the radical Islamists and the Neocons.

DVD Review: the power of nightmares
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a small sample of what should be front and center in our American mass media; unfortunately it's unlikely that it will ever be aired in the corporate media environment of the U.S. They are much to beholden to the government for regulatory relief, corporate giveaways, and special legislative consideration to air anything that might possible challenge the administation's authority or shed light on the agenda that it actually persues, the cost of such an agenda, or who is suffer its consequences!

DVD Review: Made me think
Summary: 5 Stars

A bit dated now - but worth watching. Many of the "findings" are not new, but the development of a clear argument - which has members of the government - past and present - giving their positions, makes this a fair presentation. I find it hard to believe that this is "unbalanced" when both sides had the opportunity to present their point of view.

Description of The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis

This film explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neoconservatism in America, parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today...
