Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media
by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky 

"....Chomsky and Herman demonstrate that while we pride ourselves on a "free press," in truth we have a press that is actually quite self-censoring, and thus hardly free at all.

Most of the media, they explain, are big corporations subject to the same pressures of competition as other corporations, a hard economic fact that fatally undermines their ability either to report the news honestly or to comment on it fairly. Instead of aiming to tell the truth to the American people -- so that responsible democratic decisions can be made -- the big media are in business to sell audiences to advertisers and are far more concerned with pleasing their shareholders than with letting anything be said that may disrupt that process.

Although the First Amendment is on the books (and sadly, today it functions chiefly to be exploited by tabloid media), Chomsky, Herman, and many of the voices with dissenting views are never invited to appear on our TV screens, unless they can dance -- or swap wives. As a result, despite the sanctimonious and self-satisfied chest-thumping of pundits and politicians about the "free press," our press remains narrowly restricted.

You will not agree with either of them all the time (I don't), but even when you disagree, you will find both men challenging your preconceptions, making you think, and generally leaving you smarter and more compassionate than when you found them."

The classic Canadian documentary film based on the Noam Chomsky/Edward Herman's Manufacturing Consent. Explores the the propaganda model of the media.

뚝뚝 끊어지는 가사들.
엑센트가 느껴지는 발음.
반복되는 리듬과 멜로디.

아이 라익.

유튭엔 없는게 없는줄 알았는데.
뭐야. 내가 좋아하는 '누구도 일러주지 않았네'는 없잖아.
췟.

꿩대신 닭이라고.
'빠이빠이 베스파'라도 올려야 기분이 풀리겠당.

탐정추리 faction은 다빈치 코드로 충분하다. 이런 스타일 별로 좋아하지 않음. ㅎㅎ;;
그래도 사라진 유적/미술품과 그 배후에 관한 이야기는 굉장히 흥미로웠다 -- 실제로 호박방은 WWII이후에 자취를 감추었고 지금까지 행방이 묘연함.

가끔 신문에 도난 당한 작품들에 대한 기사가 나오는데 그런 작품들은 결국 누구 손에 들어가는걸까? 사라진 그림들이 다시 세상의 빛을 볼 날이 올까? 그리고 훔쳐달라고 청탁을 했건 black market에서 사들였건 그렇게 큰 돈을 주고 미술품을 사는 사람들은 누구인지 궁금하다 -- 성 같은 저택 비밀방에 모셔놓고 혼자 보며 흐뭇해할 그들은 욕심쟁이, 우후훗>_<;;;; 도대체 누구네 집 벽에 걸려있거냐구. 근데 솔직히 쫌 부럽다. 보고싶을 때 언제든지 볼 수 있잖아. 미술관까지 안 가도 되고, 사람들에 치이지 않아도 되고.. 울 집에 가져오고 싶은 그림 두 점: Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer 그리고 Rachel Ruysch's Flowers in a Glass Vase. 직접 보니까 너무 좋드라.. 매일매일, 하루 죙일 보고싶을만큼..ㅜ_ㅜ

영화에나 있을 법한 이야기는 실제로 벌어진다. 드라마보다 드라마틱한 세상이니깐..

ㅠ_ㅠ

 뮤직비됴보다 라이브가 훨-씬 나은걸?

a film about life, friendship, family, death, sex, drugs, and all other things that "invade" our lives.

Alain Lussier: There were, what, 3000 dead? Historically, that's insignificant. As a U.S. example, 50,000 died at the Battle of Gettysburg. What is significant, as my old profs said, is they struck at the heart of the Empire. In previous conflicts -- Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War -- the Empire managed to keep the barbarians outside its gates, its borders. In that sense, people may look back on 9/11, and I stress may, as the beginning of the great barbarian invasions.

Remy: Contrary to belief, the 20th Century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 135 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th Century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, Sister. Even if they had Church support, it was an achievement. So much so that the Dutch, English, French and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not in the tiniest Holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors!...Pius XII sitting on his ass in his gilded Vatican, while Primo Levi was taken to Auschwitz... That's not sad! It's despicable! Hideous!

Sister: If what you say is true, and history is a series of abominable crimes, then someone has to exist who can forgive us. That's my belief.
