關於這部電影

From Michel Gondry, the innovative director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, comes this unique animated documentary on the life of controversial MIT professor, philosopher, linguist, anti-war activist and political firebrand Noam Chomsky. Through complex, lively conversations with Chomsky and brilliant illustrations by Gondry himself, the film reveals the life and work of the father of modern linguistics while also exploring his theories on the emergence of language. The result is not only a dazzling, vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.

評分和評論

Here's a good chance to get structural linguistics. His concepts are mind-blowing. Gondy writes with his Sharpie pens too quickly for me, but I think I could watch this dozens of times - and still learn something new. Thankfully I have it for another 48 hours.

I know quite a bit about Noam Chomsky being a computer scientist, but I like how this gives the personal side. Also it avoids a lot of the political talk.
