This documentary fulfills a unique niche by taking a non-partisan, unbiased approach to the history of Liberalism and Conservatism in the United States. The film starts at the foundation of the country and continues though the 2006 election. Scholars, authors, historians and partisan activists are used not only to tell the history of each movement, but also to show how the meaning of each term has changed over time. Modern Conservatism is depicted as arising from opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, becoming a national movement in the 1960's and reaching its apex with Ronald Reagan. Modern Liberalism has its roots in the progressive era of the 1890's becoming dominant with the New Deal, and losing influence with the perceived failures of the "Great Society programs" and Vietnam war policies of Lyndon Johnson.

프랑스 감독 미셸 공드리가 미국의 언어학자이자 정치평론가 노암 촘스키를 만나 직접 인터뷰를 진행하고 이를 기록한 다큐멘터리-애니메이션이다. 19세기를 대표하는 언어학자를 소쉬르로 본다면 20세기의 언어학은 변형생성문법의 창시자인 촘스키를 제외하고 논의될 수 없다. 공드리는 국내에서는 물론 전 세계적으로 유명한 정치 행동주의자로서의 면모보다 학자로서 그의 업적에 초점을 둔다. 대신 비교적 쉽게 대중들이 그의 언어학이론에 다가가게끔 애니메이션 기법을 도입하거나 삐뚤거리는 글자들로 질문들을 장식했다. 때때로 촘스키의 부모나 고인이 된 아내, 자식들에 대한 질문들을 통해 대학자의 인간적인 모습도 곁들인다. 영화 제목은 언어학에 한 획을 그은 저서『 통사구조론』(1957)에서‘ The man who is tall is happy.’를 의문문으로 전환시키는 것은 창조적인 인간정신의 본능적인 결과물이라는 그의 설명에서 비롯되었다. 딱딱하지 않게 촘스키의 이론을 만나볼 수 있는 작품으로 통통 튀는 공드리와 진지하게 수학과 언어를 논하는 대학자간의 오묘한 균형도 볼만하다.

Programming the Nation? takes an encompassing look at the history of subliminal messaging in America. According to many authorities, since the late 1950s subliminal content has been tested and delivered through all forms of mass-media including Hollywood filmmakers Alfred Hitchcock and William Friedkin. Even our modern military has been accused of these practices in the "war on terror" against soldiers and civilians both abroad and at home. With eye-opening footage, revealing interviews, humorous anecdotes, and an array of visual effects, the film categorically explores the alleged usage of subliminals in advertising, music, film, television, anti-theft devices, political propaganda, military psychological operations, and advanced weapons development. Director Jeff Warrick makes it his personal mission to determine if these manipulative tactics have succeeded in "programming the nation?" Or, if subliminal messaging belongs in the category of what many consider urban legend.

Filmed over the last six months of the 2000 Presidential election, Phillip Seymour Hoffman starts documenting the campaign at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, but spends more time outside, in the street protests and police actions than in the orchestrated conventions. Hoffman shows an obvious distaste for money politics and the conservative right. He looks seedier and more disillusioned the campaign progresses. Eventually Hoffman seems most energized by the Ralph Nader campaign as an alternative to the nearly indistinguishable major parties. The high point of the film are the comments by Barney Frank who says that marches and demonstrations are largely a waste of time, and that the really effective political players such as the NRA and the AARP never bother with walk ins, sit-ins, shoot-ins or shuffles. In the interview with Jesse Jackson, Hoffman is too flustered to ask all of his questions.

This film, shot by 100 amateur camera operators, tells the story of the enormous street protests in Seattle, Washington in November 1999, against the World Trade Organization summit being held there.

Against them is a brutal police force and a hostile media as well as the stain of a minority of destructively overzealous comrades. Against all odds, the protesters bravely faced fierce opposition to take back the rightful democratic power that the political and corporate elite of the world is determined to deny the little people.
