Special Topics in MediaFuture Shock Film: The Zero Theorem (2013)In a world where the search for cataclysmic equations unlock universal truths, one dystopian data analyst faces apocalyptic existential crisis. Completing his unofficial dystopian tryptic, famed director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) posits a dystopian digital future in which corporate monoculture accelerates its convergence with societal digital singularity. The result is 2013's The Zero Theorem, an avante-garde sci-fi that builds upon the controversial director's emphasis on blurring distinctions between reality and fantasy, or in this case hyperreality and existentialist nightmare. Host Garret Castleberry welcomes Scott McMurry into the dystopian discourse that foregrounds th...

In the short time we’ve been working on this case, I’ve learned facts, heard some amazing stories, which you’ll all get to hear soon, and continually been in awe of just how misunderstood this man has become.

About the Lecture:
Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like?
Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Josef Stalin. And 69 percent of Millennials would vote for a socialist for president.
They ought to know better. Communism...
