This documentary about Marshall McLuhan used poetic imagery to give biographical information about the thinker as well as to discuss his concepts about the relationship between humans and technology. One of the film’s assertions is that McLuhan’s ideas have become so understood in our culture that we are sometimes unaware of their presence. The film specifically delves into the four questions that McCluhan asked to attempt to reveal the future of new media. I think that the film was very interesting, however some of the segments that were solely imagery, the trunk floating through the water, seemed to make the film unnecessarily long, and at some times to detract from the real information.
