Customer Reviews of Power and Terror - Noam Chomsky in Our Times
Pathetic Attempt at Filmaking Don't waste your money on this DVD. It is incredibly quixotic in its aims and painfully tedious to follow. Chomsky seems incredibly out of touch, especially considering many of his positions. But even if you agree with him, this DVD isn't likely to enthral you either. He tries to directly connect terrorism and the larger issue of power without actually dealing with each issue. The viewer is left to ask "What is terror to Chomsky?" and "Whose power, where?" and "What the heck is this guy getting at?" He could clear things up and liven the DVD up and it still would seem bluntly ineffective. I've never given a one-star review before, but I'd give this zero stars if it was an option.
Simply put, this DVD leaves you wondering why you just spent a good chunk of a day watching Chomsky ramble on about conspiracy theories.
not a Nobelist
Noam Chomsky does not have a Nobel Prize in anything, let along the fictitious Nobel Prize in linguistics. I seriously doubt the reviewing credibility of anyone stupid enough to claim Chomksy is a Nobelist. I know this isn't helpful as review, but false information is the scourge of the internet.
Great for Chomsky fans
This film may not be for everyone, and maybe it's not for people just starting to read up on Chomsky or watch a documentary about him for the first time...
But it is classic Chomsky, and sometimes it's just pleasant to hear someone being consistent and making sense when they talk. More than anything else, that's what Chomsky means to me.
He's a walking encyclopedia -- knows his stuff. He knows the definition of words he uses. He has a consistent and passionate sense of humanity. He's not a politician, not a liar, and not a hypocrite. And because of this, we love him. Because of this, the world would be a better place with more Chomsky in it. So get this film, and enjoy the delightful sound of someone telling the truth.
