Surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers DVD ISO
Why is the lifestyle of consumerism a source of such rage today? How is it the privilege of buying goods does not automatically lead to happiness? Why all this emptiness despite our wealth?
Erik Gandini's approach through Surplus is to portray this issue from an emotional rather than a factual perspective.
Shot in the US, India, China, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Canada and Cuba during three years. Surplus is the result of a complicated editing process by talented music composer/editor/percussionist Johan Söderberg.
George W Bush's famous "shopping-speech" calling for a war against terrorism that deters the nation from the fear of consumption. Castro responding with hymns to the anti-consumerist, advertising-free island of Cuba. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer preaching that the computer will give us peace on earth "bringing people together" while Adbuster Kalle Lasn warns that advertising pollutes us mentally, that over-consumption is unsustainable and that we are running out of oil.
Surplus' main man is John Zerzan, controversial philosopher whose call for PROPERTY DAMAGE has inspired many to take to the streets. "That is not violence. Sitting there doing dope and watching MTV . Then you go and get a job. Just schlep along. To me that is violence," says Zerzan. "We are terrorized into being consumers."
In November 2003 Surplus was awarded with the most prestigious prize a Documentary can get, The Silver Wolf at Amsterdam's IDFA, and has spread widely around the globe since then.
MEGA-Thanks to BhangWalla for all of their original efforts ripping, encoding, & upping this.

'underconsumption' was considered to be a major crisis and contradiction in the theory of capitalism in the 1930s. There are lots of materials on this in the libraries. I think it is obvious that contemporary society has been molded by the responses to this crisis (i.e., the credit system, planned obselesence, reduced quality of products, and endless advertising). Thanks for the upload!
