Marshall McCluhan DVD

Oh boy do I love cheesy special effects! The McCluhan DVD had its fair share of hilarious cross fades and ridiculous reenactments but the content of the movie was great. It told a comprehensive and understandable portrait of McCluhan's media vision. It portrayed his likes, dislikes and opponents. It also displayed him as a god among men (which maybe he was). I thoroughly enjoyed the movie because I knew far too little about McCluhan. His unconventional teaching style and grandiose predictions ostracised him from the rest of the academic community. However, his accuracy eventually showed his critics his potency.
