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.

看完身心俱惫：1.”perception management”的实现，重新想想英美对统治下有多少卡扎菲一样的绝对恶人喝英雄 as their scapegoat? 2. MIT程序员研发一个计算机心理师 it just picked up what you asked and returned it back to you in another form but it works. It’s because people really respond when they see themselves reflected back. And this how online marketing and filtering works. 3. 健身是个体control实现的仅剩方式了！
Final Review时候因为把人类未来描述的过于depressing而被reviewer推荐看的纪录片。看完觉得更depressed的了。It feels like we are all on the sinking boat, now and then, here and there. 唯一一点区别也许只是随机，偶然与幸运吧。(不过，用一种简单化的叙事去描述这样一种走向简单化的世界，是否构成了简单化本身呢。)
