| | Marshall Mcluhan - Mcluhan's Wake DVD
Fascinated by the role technology played in transforming our lives, Marshall McLuhan, one of the 20th century's most famous intellectuals realized, with stunning accuracy, the impact the digital age would have on our social, spiritual, economic, and ideological selves. Grounded in McLuhan's last scholarly work, The Laws of Media, the film translates these laws into an illuminating and revealing text, haunted by archival footage and the voice of McLuhan himself. Blending all forms of media, including animation and special effects, this film is a visually dazzling and poetic film with narration by Laurie Anderson, and commentaries by Eric McLuhan, Neil Postman, Lewis Lapham, Performance artist Laurie Anderson narrates this documentary about Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan's life and career are thoroughly examined, and his 20th-century ideas are tested to see how they hold up in the 21st.
