Starting from 1975, with two shots of Damascus and Newyork, Adam curtis investigates two ways of running the world. The banks were lending a lot of money to politicians in the 1975 but that suddenly stopped. From Banks to politics spanning the globe from Russia,Syria,Lebanon, to Lybia,Iran, the US, and ending with an Arab Spring. We can see how main players in the world were either pawns in a game of chess or fake players to distort perception. Hypernormalization is the term used to describe the attempts to promote a fake image of the world and make it the normal. Wiliam Gibson introduced the term Cyberspace negatively and then the decalration of independance of Cyberspace came along and then computers and the internet make cyberspace invidualist's dream. The film is full of events from protests all over the world and major political events and repercussions of big decisions made by politics. I find it hard to write in a clear manner about what i saw as it is a jumbled mass of complex politics of the old world where reality was still physical to a new system of cyberspace reality influencing events in the real world and a politics driven by shapeshifting and unrecognizable fake reality where the truth become irrelevant and people are parts of the node on a network of ever complicated reality.
