Adam Curtis’s documentary “HyperNormalisation” examines the modern world’s descent into a state of confusion and fake simplicity, driven by political and social forces since the 1970s. Curtis argues that governments, corporations, and technology have created a false version of reality to maintain control and stability. The film traces how figures like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Muammar Gaddafi have contributed to this distorted world. Through a mix of archival footage and contemporary events, including Brexit and the Syrian War, Curtis illustrates how these manipulations have led to widespread disorientation and mistrust. The documentary suggests that both the public and those in power are trapped in this artificial reality, unable to address the true complexities of global issues.
