Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy? – Movie Trailers – iTunes

From Michel Gondry, the innovative director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, comes this unique animated documentary on the life of controversial MIT professor, philosopher, linguist, anti-war activist and political firebrand Noam Chomsky. Through complex, lively conversations with Chomsky and brilliant illustrations by Gondry himself, the film reveals the life and work of the father of modern linguistics while also exploring his theories on the emergence of language. The result is not only a dazzling, vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.

You’re supposed to be anti-politics. The reason is that whatever you think about the government, it’s the one part of the system of institutions that you can participate in and modify and do something about. By law and principle, you can’t do anything about investment firms or transnational corporations. Therefore, nobody better see that. You’ve got to be anti-politics. That’s another victory (for the propaganda system).
