... So Goes the Nation is easily one of the best made, most interesting political documentaries I've seen regarding the way we elect our Federal leaders. The movie is definitely biased against the Republican party (and therefore biased in favor of the Democratic party). But that is hardly the value this documentary has to offer. The real gold comes in the revelation of the methods used by both parties to manipulate and influence elections. It is, quite literally, mass hypnosis in action. I'm not claiming that anything either party does is unethical, illegal or immoral (though there is certainly room for debate on all counts). What I'm suggesting is that this documentary shows very powerfully just how our political parties have developed their ability to feed us the simple messages necessary to keep them in power. In this particular case, the Republicans did a superior job. But the Democrats carry their weight in this arena quite strongly. Perhaps the most powerful scenes came in the form of montages. A talking head speaking on TV on behalf of the Republican party states a particular message - "Kerry flip-flops." An official campaigning against Kerry repeats the mantra at a public gathering - "Kerry flip-flops." News show talking heads repeat the mantra - "Kerry flip-flops." Pretty soon we see stadiums full of people chanting "Kerry flip-flops." We see demonstrators clashing verbally and the pro-Bush demonstrators simply reply to every pro-Kerry statement with the mantra - "Kerry flip-flops." Mass hypnosis IN ACTION!! Want to see modern mind control as it happens? Interested in magick, persuasion, power, control, construction of reality? Watch this documentary. And watch it with an eye to the process behind the campaigns. Drop your political position and watch what both parties do to condition, control and herd the voters. This is a powerful film. Do yourself a favor. Watch it. Learn from it. You will see more deeply into the world around you if you pay attention to what this movie has to offer. |
