Yes, its a satisfying blend of conjecture, conspiracy, entertainment to good music and nice pics a nice dance of references to pick up. good at conveying a sense of us being unmoored and clueless. and can def give you some interesting people to look further into
but it doesnt join up does it? i dont come away feeling ive understood more about anything, and this is def somewhat intentional, that it questions ideology and coherent explanations of history. but its all about people and ideas, technology too, the material conditions arent considered in depth ar they? this might be down to the fact hes forced to look at everything through the lens of news media and how it glamourises even suffering, how its running scripts and cant help simplifying the world into heroes and villains. in this way its kind of like a not very funny brass eye drawing elegant curves through history
I think ill go back and give the first one another go, but last night i juts felt like i could be watching any of his stuff, i couldnt parse it, or maybe i felt like the message had been received and hed nothing more to say
