In the previous film, the examples Žižek analysed seemed to be favourites: here, it is the structure of the argument that dominates over the selection of movies, and so the interpretations don't seem to be quite so rich. Nevertheless, the Slovenian has many things to say worth hearing, though his concluding attempt at revolutionary politics consists of a quite perfunctory invocation of will and redemption: if Occupy Wall Street is the illustration showing that the future's up to us, well...

christian atheism is the only true atheism. not that richard dawkins shit - he has a cult, a following worshipping him as a deity. the left has failed, but the left, too, has the answer.

I enjoy the form of this, using the films to unfold Zizek's understanding of ideology, and dressing up in the garb of the film's to ostensibly get inside them. I felt the film's length, as the deconstructions pile one on top of the other.

Kind of ironic that he rambles for over two hours without really clarifying his own ideology and how he uses jargon to subvert the meaning of the images he shows. He'll never get to his revolutionary promised land because it must, by default, reject the dreams it was built upon - of which there aren't any anyways, so the prophetic potential of the film is nil. But as far as its deconstruction of power goes, it's consistently engaging.

Both entertaining and insightful, and the fact that Zizek obviously has good taste in movies doesn't hurt. It does have one obvious drawback, though: After he spends 2 hours deconstructing everything, it becomes a bit hard to take him seriously when he presents his own spin on it.

score isn't really a reflection of how much I agree with Zizek, but from just how enjoyable this was for a former philosophy student (dropout) and film fan. I wish some of my favourites had the charisma and film knowledge to do some of these, but they're mostly dead anyway. Can't wait to watch the first one. "The Elvis Presley of cultural theory" indeed.

Zizek would be a lot easier to take seriously if his theories added up to something, but such is the nature of critical theory. His commentary here strikes me as the internal monologue of a very educated person, and while his thoughts are probably more interesting than mine, what is he really saying?

Zizek postulates on various political structures, starbucks coffee as the ultimate consumerist commodity & falls back on analysing a few more films for good measure. Again he ends his essay with a radical call to action, to build on the current social upheaval and turn it to revolution, which at the time was the occupy movement..so, hmm.

Fascinating and compelling, Zizek's psychoanalytical study is at times challenging and insightful as much as it is obvious and occasionally wofty. Zizek's analysis suffers from the obvious increased inscrutability that arises when the micro is used to try an explain the macro, but on a basic level I found it agreeable, if not as revolutionary as much of its subject matter.
