3 episodes in, seems like the focus of each is as follows: episode 1: the last gasp of revolution, “big ideas” in the 60s episode 2: the dissolution of those ideas and movements post 68 episode 3: the transition to finance (“money”/consumerism) as a replacement for ideas in the early 70s looking forward to seeing where the rest leads

feel like this could have used a montage/sequence about how all the big movies now are sequels, reboots, spin offs, re-tellinga, or otherwise come from existing IP and how it’s a dead end culture

he says in the red scare interview he’s a “progressive” and like a lot of people “in his cohort” (or something like that) he does not have a comprehensive politics, and he’s suspicious of those who do

Mokelumne Trekka posted:I heard nothing but hype about this without any context, so I was confused to see that the first episode consists of broad, vague premises (if any) mixed with stock footage and ominous music from John Carpenter's The Fog i thought it was a fine and entertaining examination of how we got to ~capitalist realism~ there was some stuff i disagreed with but broadly i think it made good points about the failures of the 60s and the turn to the market, individualism, and culture that we’re stuck in

i listened to a ~film~ podcast that talked about the new doc and one of the people on it got upset because she thought curtis treated the iraq war protests, occupy, and BLM like they didn't accomplish anything, which............ lol come one what have any of those actually accomplished so far that is enduring beyond sloganeering and "awareness raising"?
