DVD Reviews of The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis
DVD Review: Looks like it was taken right from YouTube...
Summary: 2 Stars
This is an amazing documentary about the rise of Fundamentalist Muslims and the Neoconservatives by legendary British film maker Adam Curtis. He draws amazing conclusions using links between the two and he uses history and archival footage to support his theories. WARNING!!! This documentary will make you think so be careful!!!
Its just a shame that it is brought to you in such low quality format.
Since there was never a US release of this film due mainly to the fact that he uses so much Archival Footage (so copyright is impossible), this film is found mainly in low quality dubs off a TV broadcast. The thing is...ITS WORTH OWNING EVEN IN LOW QUALITY because it is SO FRIGGIN GOOD!!!
I now have this version, The Power of Nightmares & recently purchased The Power of Nightmares (ADAM CURTIS). Of the three, the last is the best video and sound quality.
If you like this one than you have to own his others: The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom? & Century of the Self (ADAM CURTIS) 2 DVD Set. Century of the Self will blow your mind and you should actually watch it first and than The Power of Nightmares.
Adam Curtis is obviously Michael Moore's Hero...
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!
