HyperNormalisation tells the extraordinary story of how we got to this strange time of great uncertainty and confusion - where those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed - and have no idea what to do. And, where events keep happening that seem inexplicable and out of control - from Donald Trump to Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, and random bomb attacks. It explains not only why these chaotic events are happening - but also why we, and our politicians, cannot understand them. The film shows that what has happened is that all of us in the West - not just the politicians and the journalists and the experts, but we ourselves - have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. But because it is all around us, we accept it as normal. HyperNormalisation has been made specifically for BBC iPlayer. It tells an epic narrative spanning 40 years, with an extraordinary cast of characters. They include the Assad dynasty, Donald Trump, Henry Kissinger, Patti Smith, the early performance artists in New York, President Putin, intelligent machines, Japanese gangsters, suicide bombers - and the extraordinary untold story of the rise, fall, rise again, and finally the assassination of Colonel Gaddafi. All these stories are woven together to show how today’s fake and hollow world was created. Part of it was done by those in power - politicians, financiers and technological utopians. Rather than face up to the real complexities of the world, they retreated. And instead constructed a simpler version of the world in order to hang onto power. But it wasn’t just those in power. The film shows how this strange world was built by all of us. We all went along with it because the simplicity was reassuring. And that included the left and the radicals who thought they were attacking the system. The film reveals how they too retreated into this make-believe world - which is why their opposition today has no effect, and nothing ever changes.

fire@@@@@世界离我们很近也很远,政治可以离我们很近也可以很远
uifone@@@@@不是我不明白,是这世界变化太快！世界政治风云变幻莫测,但总体上都是为利益而变化,只是其过程是复杂又难懂的。
wits@@@@@本来以为看不下去,结果居然兴致勃勃地看完了！看来何止国际局势是这样,我看个纪录片也一样呀！
你的女朋友@@@@@russian hyper normalisation; cyberspace, ‘datasurveillance’ and ‘panopticon control’; perception management; terrorism discourse; ulrich beck & ‘risk society’; discursive power and make-believe world;lsd, rock&roll, disc -- the line between reality and fiction is blurred.

美国在冷战期间，疑似捏造外星人造访地球的场景，制造幻象（illusion）散播恐慌。诸如此类的手段，总统的首席顾问称之谓：“perception management”，是美国政府在80年代最主要运作的工作之一。 词面上看似是感知的问题，其实是类似于公众意识形态灌输工作。如此措施使得事实... (展开)@@@https://movie.douban.com/review/8173040/@@@https://img3.doubanio.com/icon/u3555676-6.jpg
